PAVO GastriCover 5kg
Supports healthy stomach function
The horse's digestive tract is very complex and its stomach very sensitive. In some cases it might be necessary to support the stomach a little bit more. Pavo GastriCover offers great stomach-support as it can promote regeneration of gastric mucosa (stomach wall) and helps to neutralize the effect of the highly sour stomach acid.Neutralisation of stomach acidStomach acid is essential for digestion, but too much or too sour stomach acid can have a negative effect on the stomach wall of your horse. Maerl (calcified seaweed) is the main active ingredient of Pavo GastriCover, that not only buffers the stomach acid but also has an anti-inflammatory effect.Buffering of stomach acid is desired as it can help to create a healthy pH value in the stomach, necessary for good digestion and a healthy stomach wall. Moreover, the major benefit of maerl is the long-lasting effect. Many other buffering ingredients have a short but strong effect. In contrast, Maerl has a long lasting and gradual effect, meaning that the stomach acid is buffered for a longer period of time and in steady amounts. Stomach acid can be harmful for the stomach but is also indispensable for digestion. However, too much buffering of stomach acid will decrease digestion in the end.Tasteful prebiotics to support stomach and gutApple pulp and dried desugared beet pulp are 100% natural ingredients with a very high content of pectin. These pectins have a double positive effect on your horse’s digestion. They build a protective gel-like layer on the stomach wall, which has a protective function against the stomach acid. As well as that, they also have a prebiotic effect as they support growth of good bacteria in the gut.Probiotic: digestibility enhancer & stabilization of gut microfloraA good level of good bacteria supports good digestion and intestinal health. The certified Biosprint® live yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) improves digestibility in your horse. The fibre fractions especially are better digested as a result of improved hind gut fermentation. The probiotic live yeast in Pavo GastriCover supports good intestinal health, fermentation and a better utilization of lactic acid. In short, it enhances the digestibility and stabilizes the gut microflora.##(Feeding) management is key Pavo GastriCover can definitely support a healthy gastric function, but proper feeding management is the basis for success. Therefore, it’s important to take a look at the current management of your horse and check if you tick all the boxes.
