Probiotics

AT A GLANCE:

Probiotics and their roles:



  • Optimize fermentations and stabilize pH
  • Improve nutrient digestibility
  • Prevent risk of intestinal flora unbalance induced by change of feed or by pathogenic contamination such as clostridium
  • Aid foal development
  • May improve milk quality

They are defined as living organisms such as yeast, fungi or bacteria, able to colonize and stimulate the good flora in the intestinal tract. They improve the digestion, well-being and health of the horse.


Yeasts have been particularly studied for these indications in the equine species.
