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 To maximise hindgut health and good condition through the winter, forage should be fed on a truly ad-lib basis. If your horse is stabled for longer periods during the winter, then the use of slow feeders and double hay nets can help ensure that forage is always available. Additionally, if your horse is turned out then putting hay or haylage out in the field will also help to ensure they have access to a continuous supply for optimum hindgut health. 2.

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. 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. 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.

The main aim is to ensure that the whole process is as stress free as possible and teh key to this is preparation. Correct preparation and diet can lesson the impact of the foal’s digestive system as the balance of the microflora within the foal’s gut can easily be unbalanced by stress, which can result in scouring and invasion by bad bacteria. Feeding more varied forages, like mixed meadow hay, haylage and chopped meadow grass during winter when horses are stabled more, will create more forage diversity and help promote a rich, diverse hindgut microbial population and optimise your horse’s hindgut health. Research has indicated that the equine hindgut microbiome contains a diverse range of bacterial species. This diversity is associated with a healthy microbiome, with a loss in diversity being linked to digestive disease and upset. A diverse diet promotes a diverse microbiome, which in turn promotes a healthy hindgut, and a healthy hindgut = a healthy horse.
