H.Bradshaws Unisex's BES0015 Coligone Powder, Clear, Regular

Product Information

If your horse’s condition and work level mean they need more energy or ‘calories’ than forage alone can provide, it’s best to supply that through sources of highly digestible fibre like Coligone Fibre Bio or Coligone Fibre Cubes, alongside grass chop to encourage chewing. Yea sacc and MOS/FOS Prebiotics encourage hind gut fermentation and actively stimulate fibre digesters, leading to effective fibre digestion.

Elderly horses or those recovering from ill health or surgery would benefit from Coligone Liquid or Powder being fed on a daily basis.Coligone works on excess gastric acid, the ingredients disperses gases in the hind gut, maintains healthy gastric acid levels, soothes and coats the digestive tract provides a buffer-raft, which sits on the stomach contents and guards the delicate upper areas of the stomach from gastric irritation. 4. Can I feed Coligone continuously? Or will it harm my horse? FOS (Fructooligosaccharides) and MOS (mannanoligosaccharide) prebiotics to support a healthy digestive tract. Coligone is gentle enough for use on foals – It is extremely good for foals which aren’t thriving or are scouring. Feed the recommended amount by oral syringe twice daily until the scouring ceases. Coligone maintains a healthy environment which enables the foal to thrive. The unique mucosal-buffer action coats teh stomach and provides a buffer-raft to guard against gastric irritation in the delicate upper areas of the stomach.

In our latest blog Lisa Elliott, MSc – Equine Nutrition Solutions shares her five top tips to help maximise your horse’s hindgut health this winter. 1. Provide ad-lib good-quality forage Contains active natural ingredients, including FOS and MOS prebiotics to support a healthy digestive tract.Horses that are struggling to hold weight and condition during the winter will often need extra feed but to keep their hindgut healthy it’s important to keep starch from cereals to a minimum or avoid altogether. Horses have a limited capacity to digest starch in the small intestine. Undigested excess starch from cereals can reach the hindgut and cause imbalances in the microbiome, leading to microbial dysbiosis which can result in hindgut acidosis. Hindgut acidosis is a consequence of the rapid growth of certain types of lactic acid producing bacteria. The increased lactic acid causes a drop in pH and results in a more acidic environment. This can lead to inflammation of the hindgut membrane and potentially laminitis or colic. Raised gastric acid levels can be caused by the stress of travelling and long periods without food where sufficient saliva isn't being produced to buffer excess gastric Designed for EVERY HORSE, EVERY DAY, this NEW COLIGONE BALANCER encapsulates the benefits of highly digestible fibres alongside the superior specification of Coligone.

Contains minimal sugar and starch and can be safely fed to laminitics and those with gastric ulcers Additionally, Coligone Powder or Liquid provide key pro and pre-biotics to support hindgut microbes – namely, scFOS, MOS and Yeasacc. All three work together to provide feed to stimulate and promote a healthy balance of beneficial hindgut microbes to further support hindgut health, integrity, and overall immunity through winter and beyond. Weaning time is just around the corner and schedules and weaning programmes will almost certainly be in full swing. Weaning can be the most stressful time for mares and foals and every aspect must be taken into consideration. For the foal, weaning stress can result in lower resistance to disease and loss of condition. It’s a time when stereotypical behaviours can develop and gastric irritation can occur.
