WHAT IS FOUNDERGUARD®?

Clinically proven preventative supplement for feed induced laminitis and founder

Formulated to ensure delivery of the active drug to the hind gut

Allows high grain diets to be fed safely

Proven to control the build up of lactic acid in the hind gut

Small daily dose, highly palatable

WHY CHOOSE FOUNDERGUARD?

Founderguard® is scientifically formulated for laminitis management and prevention

Founderguard® has been scientifically proven to assist in the prevention of grain and pasture induced laminitis and founder, but is also able to help decrease the risk of low-grade laminitis (often unnoticeable) to prevent the onset of this silent ‘performance killer’ and help the horse reach their full potential. 

Founderguard® allows high grain diets to be fed safely

Performance horses fed a higher grain diet, or horses with rapidly changing diets, such as that during drought times may increase the risk of health problems such as colic and laminitis. Excess NSC (non-structural carbohydrate) consumption such as sugars, starch and fructans can lead to lactic acid producing bacteria in the hindgut to multiply. Founderguard® can control and prevent the build-up of lactic acid from this fermentation process, preventing damage to the gut lining and therefore laminitis.  

Pellet Carrier

Founderguard® is manufactured in a fibrous pellet for delivery to the site of action in the large intestine. This ensures that the active can effectively target the hindgut, where fermentation occurs and lactic acid is produced. 

Founderguard® is highly palatable

Highly palatable, Founderguard® can be fed either on its own or mixed with feed, as it is readily accepted.
