NAF Gastriaid 1.8kg

Supports a healthy climate in the stomach and helps to keep the pH value in the intestines neutral. For the maintenance of healthy intestines and daily protection against the influences of stress on the stomach and intestines.

The number of horses suffering from equine gastric ulcers is growing, and not just in racehorses. GastriAid’s advanced formula has been created by leading veterinary nutritionists around the world. It contains natural antacids, which help the stomach lining defend itself against acid attack, while pre- and probiotics help balance the pH of the gut environment. These ingredients, along with herbal support, work to maintain and care for the gut on a daily basis. It is difficult to detect ulcers in the stomach without a gastroscope. However, there are ways to assess whether your horse may be susceptible, or if there are signs that indicate the development of gastric ulcers. Horses that are stabled for long periods, fed a high grain diet, work hard and travel regularly are at a high risk, especially if they are naturally stressed and highly strung. There may also be characteristic behaviour that indicates the possibility of an ulcer. This behaviour includes: box walking (weaving), wind sucking, nibbling, a 'cold back' or irritability when girthed, poor handling, no desire to work, while a dull coat or loose droppings can also be a signal. GastriAid has been developed to promote the absence of stomach ulcers by helping to build up the natural defence of the stomach lining against acid and maintaining the pH balance in the intestines. In doing so, it supports the daily protection against stress-related gastric problems, such as the development of stomach ulcers. GastriAid gives your horse the stomach lining he deserves, so that he can do his work easily and as well as possible.
