Product Information

In our latest blog Lisa Elliott, MSc – Equine Nutrition Solutions shares her five top tips to help maximise your horse’s hindgut health this winter. 1. Provide ad-lib good-quality forage Skin: Hydrolyzed collagen peptides can support better hydration, smoother skin, and improved skin quality.* Specifically, research has shown that collagen can support skin elasticity 3 and potentially make fine lines appear smaller.* A double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial also found that participants' moisture levels in the skin were seven times higher 4 than those who did not take collagen supplements.* With its ability to buffer acid, Coligone Powder or Liquidcan be hugely beneficial to manage dietary change by helping to maintain a healthier hindgut pH and reducing the potential for digestive upset. Additionally, Coligone contains scientifically proven pre and probiotics to encourage a healthy hindgut microbe balance within the hindgut at times of change. Coligone Powder or Liquidcan be fed during the transition to new feeds and can also be fed daily throughout the year for improved digestive health. 5. Promote Microbial Health and Diversity Coligone liquid is designed to soothe the digestive tract, balance acid levels and maintain a healthy environment which enables the foal to thrive. Coligone’s unique action coats the stomach and provides a buffer-raft, to protect the delicate upper areas of the stomach from excessive gastric acid. Used on a daily basis or when required, Coligone is gentle on the foal’s digestive system and yet extremely effective. Excellent for use when scouring occurs or when the foal fails to thrive.

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.

Coligone

About Coligone: Forage should always be the foundation of your horse’s diet, which during the winter can be provided as hay or haylage.
