Good old fashioned elbow grease is key to getting horses show-ring or race ready. But no amount of time spent grooming can make up for having a healthy, well-fed, well-conditioned horse. When it’s healthy on the inside, your horse’s body condition will glow on the outside.
Horse Body Condition Goes Hand In Hand with Digestive Health
It’s not a secret that a well-fed horse is going to be in good body condition: at a healthy weight, display a shiny coat, and have healthier hooves. But just as important as what goes in is how well it gets digested.
To get the full benefit of even the best feeds, your horse needs to absorb all the nutrients in all the right places.
Unfortunately, the processed feeds required by performance horses for energy move too quickly through the digestive tract. As a result, the nutrients aren’t completely absorbed in the small intestine where they should be. And then too much undigested starch reaches the hindgut and interferes with the absorption of the fibrous foods there too.
The result? A dull coat, difficulty maintaining weight, and even poor muscle condition.
Equine Supplements Help Boost Body Condition
The unique, natural formulation of SUCCEED® has been shown to significantly improve horses’ nutrient absorption. SUCCEED® Digestive Conditioning Program® is formulated from natural ingredients that aid digestive function:
- Oat Flour (beta-glucan): SUCCEED® contains oat flour rich in a soluble fiber called Beta glucan, which moderates transit time in digestion. This allows for increased digestion of processed feeds in the small intestines (key to avoiding too much starch interfering in the hindgut) as well as a moderated release of sugar into the bloodstream.
- Irradiated Dried Yeast: two types of complex yeast sugars in SUCCEED®, known as Mannan Oligosaccharides (MOS), act as a sponge to remove bad bacteria and toxins that can hinder digestive function in the hindgut and affect overall health.
- L-Glutamine: this amino acid helps build the villi (ripples in the gut wall), maximizing surface area for greater nutrient absorption.
- L-Threonine: an essential amino acid, supports the production of mucin, a necessary component of mucus that lubricates and protects the GI tract lining.
- Oat Oil (polar lipids): the oat oil in SUCCEED® is rich in Polar Lipids, fat molecules that coat damaged tissues in the gut and provide an amazing conduit for getting nutrients into the bloodstream.
