For competition horses, digestive tract conditions like ulcers are all too common. But even seemingly healthy horses may suffer from underlying gastro-intestinal conditions.
It all starts with how we feed and care for the horse. Combined with the stress of training and competition, modern care and feeding practices virtually guarantee horses are going to face digestive health issues. When the gut isn’t at optimal, everything is affected – the horse’s condition, energy levels, physical appearance, and even his attitude…not to mention the horse’s overall health and well-being.
Keeping your horse’s digestive tract healthy means a happier, healthier horse that is more willing to work and perform to potential. That leads to more productive, progressive training and, in turn, better results in the show ring, on the track, in the arena, or in the breeding shed. Plus, when digestion is efficient, your horse gets more of the nutrients it needs from its feed. This can result in lower feed bills. And healthy horses may mean fewer vet visits (and fewer vet bills) as well.
That’s why you should have your vet test your horse regularly with the SUCCEED® Equine Fecal Blood Test (FBT). The SUCCEED FBT allows the vet to assess whether the horse has an underlying digestive tract condition in minutes, right in the barn.
