Kentucky EquiShure 18kg

KERx EQUISHURE promotes normal digestive function by aiding in the maintenance of an optimal hindgut environment. Encapsulation technology ensures targeted release directly in the hindgut. 

The demands placed on horses, as both athletes and breeding animals, dictate that substantial quantities of energy-rich feeds be consumed. 

Disturbances in the normal hindgut environment are thought to result from overconsumption of either high-starch concentrates or pasture grasses rich in fructans (sugars).

> Encapsulation technology allows for targeted delivery of sodium bicarbonate to the hindgut.

> Maintain normal digestive efficiency.

KERx EQUISHURETM can be used in racehorses.Its use is covered by the ‘Clear Day rule’ in the Australian Rules of Racing for the use of alkalinising agents.  

EquiShure is a digestive health supplement designed for horses suspected of suffering from or at risk for hindgut acidosis. Encapsulation technology ensures targeted release directly in the hindgut.

Hindgut acidosis is characterized by a drop in pH caused by microbial fermentation of starches and sugars such as fructans and the resulting accumulation of excessive lactic acid in the hindgut. 

EquiShure is appropriate for all horses at risk of suffering from subclinical acidosis. At-risk horses often express one or more signs that can derail athletic performance as well as reduce growth or reproductive potential. Signs of subclinical acidosis include decreased feed intake or complete inappetence in severe cases, mild to moderate colic signs of unexplained origin, poor feed efficiency and subsequent weight loss, loss of performance, and development of certain vices such as wood chewing, weaving, and stall walking.

It is important to maintain a stable hindgut environment with EquiShure to encourage proper digestion and absorption of nutrients.
