Microencapsulated Probiotics
In recent years, the term "probiotics" has become a health
buzzword and there has been an explosion of equine feed
supplements adding probiotics to their product lines.
What are they? Probiotics are beneficial bacteria which
favorably alter the intestinal micro-flora balance, encourage
feed and ingredient utilization, support immune function, and
maintain optimal health.
But . . . As we become increasingly aware of
the growing importance of friendly intestinal flora and
its benefits to a healthy gut, the survival of these live
micro - organisms is crucial and must be considered
too!
Micro-encapsulation is a process of enclosing the probiotics
in very small sealed capsules from which the probiotic is
released slowly by body heat employing an effective means of
delivering the complex micro-flora to the digestive tract where
it is best utilized.
With micro-encapsulation technology, Smooth Run Equine’s Health
Products bonded with digestive enzymes are the key building
blocks for all of our powerful formulas. They work to optimize
the absorption of key ingredients in our equine special
formulas for joint, mare, digestive (gastro), respiratory,
calming, and our PRO blend for Competition horses with multiple
needs.
The maintenance of a healthy micro-flora in the horses gut will
help maintain general health, appearance, performance and
temperament.
