🐴 Did You Know? Your Foal's Gut Health Starts Before They're Born.

Many horse owners focus on feeding probiotics to foals after birth, but one of the most important times to support gut health is actually during pregnancy.

A broodmare's digestive system plays a major role in the development of her unborn foal. Research suggests that the mare's gut microbiome can influence the early microbial population that helps establish the foal's digestive and immune systems.

A healthy gut in the broodmare may help support:

✅ Better nutrient absorption during pregnancy
✅ Stronger immune function for mare and foal
✅ Improved milk quality after foaling
✅ Early development of a healthy gut microbiome in the newborn foal

The first few months of a foal's life are critical for digestive health, growth and immunity. Supporting the mare with a quality probiotic supplement like Elite Equine Nutrition COMPETE throughout pregnancy and lactation can be a simple but valuable part of your breeding and feeding program.

Great 'COMPETE' Testimonial from one of our NZ customers.

There are so many people having success combating their horses greasy heel with Compete.
Its fabulous to be able to help these horses and owners with such a frustrating condition.

⭐️⭐️⭐️Testimonial ⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thank you Jordan Stephenson! 🙏👌🫶
“I feed my very sensitive competition horse Compete and it has been game changing.
This horse was suffering from terrible photosensitivity and was getting “mud fever” year-round on all 4 cannon bones (which I think was more leukocytoclastic vasculitis). I was at my wits end and the vets could only prescribe steroids to clear it up as there was no "trigger" we could find.
Within 2 weeks of starting Compete, his skin was clearing up and we haven't had an outbreak for 6 months.
He is also hugely anxious and had some pretty big behavioural issues that weren't much fun to deal with - he's much more level now. It seems too coincidental to be "just growing up".
Thanks for producing such an amazing product in Compete. No one will ever be able to convince me to take that particular horse of it - it has solved so many issues I was having with him. “

More valuable information on the importance of sustaining a healthy gut microbiome in our horses.

Studies are showing that it is not only important to ensure our competition horses have healthy gut bacteria, but that broodmares with a healthy microbiome with pass that on to her foals which in turn sets the foals up to start life with a healthy gut and immune system and therefore a more successful career as an older horse.

We all know how important having a healthy stomach is for our horses wellbeing.
But we shouldn't forget the hindgut!

Once again, good quality fibre and a quality supplement including pre and porbiotics and gut soothing compounds like Compete and/or Gastro Go are key to ensuring your horses health and comfort.

Great article by The Horse.

The gut microbiome is responsible for so much more than just a healthy gastrointestinal tract.
The more research that is done, the more scientists are discovering that in both humans and animals, the gut controls so many if not all of the other functions in the body.

That's why Elite Equine Nutrition in NZ developed COMPETE. It has all the necessary 'gut bugs' (aka probiotics) to encourage a healthy gut microbiome in your horse, as well as the essential nutrients to ensure a balanced digestive system.

If you have any questions regarding the health or your horses gut and how Compete and or Gastro Go might be able to help. Don't hesitate to drop us a pm. or visit the website.
