Why Digest-Easi + is the best combined digestive and toxin binder for horses

Digest-Easi + is a combination of a proven digestive aid for digestion and gut health with a proven mycotoxin binder for horses.

Digest-Easi + ensures healthy digestion and utilization of nutrients as well as fibre to ensure your horse gets all the goodness out of their feed.

Ingredients of Digest-Easi +

Proven prebiotic Saccharomyces Cerevisiae natural yeast cell wall to keep hindgut microbes happy and healthy.

Proven digestive enzymes Amylase to help break down sugars and starches.

Proven gut conditioners Natural Zeolite and Liquorice root extract to soothe and restore a healthy foregut.

Proven Science backed Mycotoxin binder Myco-fix denatures harmful mycotoxins and renders these harmless before they can be absorbed. This highly effective toxin binder then ensures these toxins are passed in the manure. The horse therefore avoids the toxic reactions associated with mycotoxins which effect the nervous system of the horse causing spooky behaviour, lowered immune function, poor health and performance.

By supporting the gut, hindgut and digestive function your horse will feel calmer with fewer girth issues and stomach upsets.

The proven toxin binder for horses -Mycofix provides a powerful and effective solution to mycotoxins.

Mycofix is registered for use in horses and does not bind to nutrients or affect the diet in any way.

Digest-Easi PLUS adds comfort to the gut and improves gastric function. It also helps control SPOOKY behaviour with an effective mycotoxin binder profile whilst assisting gut health and digestion. Add daily to your horse’s meal, even fussy eaters will enjoy the highly palatable natural (100 %) liquorice taste of Digest-Easi PLUS!

When Digest-Easi PLUS is fed with a high quality, fibre diet, see hoof health improve, coats shine, manure becomes better formed (no more loose manure) and your horse is much happier, healthier and calmer! This is because Digest-Easi PLUS enhances your horse’s gut and digestive process so feeding becomes efficient, nutrients are better absorbed, and your feed bill can be reduced.

Dose of Digest-Easi +

50-grams is recommended daily. This is one scoop.

If mycotoxins are high for example late summer, autumn or during seasonal changes of unsettled wet weather and humid weather cycles we recommend using twice daily.

Understanding digestion in the horse:

Digestion starts with the mouth where food is mixed with saliva and bicarbonate. Food is then swallowed and lands in the stomach (gut) of the horse. It is here it mixes with acid to break down the food ready for processing in the small intestine. The small intestine is where nutrients and sugars are digested. The left-over food material then passes to the hind gut or large colon for more processing.

The large colon or the hind gut of the horse is where highly specialized fibre microbes live, and they are very sensitive to sugar.

In fact, these microbes are so specialized they are only equipped to break down fibre. In the event of a horse eagerly grazing fresh grass or stressed (fructan) pastures – a source of indigestible sugar. This sugar content flows into the hindgut and spells danger for microbes – causing a pH shift and death to microbes. This will equal a bout of gut pain for your horse.

This digestive upset causes grumpy behaviour, pain and discomfort. When large numbers of microbes die off, the hindgut (colon) becomes acidic, causing sensitivity, acidosis (acid conditions), or worse laminitis or colic.

This acidity comes from the dying microbes. This acidity in turn causes runny manure, pain, and if severe can lead to diarrhoea, and hindgut acidosis. When prolonged this condition can cause ulceration of the colon.

FAST REMEDY – feed plenty of fibre! Feed hay!

Couple this with Digest-Easi PLUS -, which is packed full of proven ingredients and goodness to slow the rush of feed, aid the breakdown of sugars and starch and settle the digestive tract.

Important Points to remember for a healthy digestive system in your horse

1. The stomach produces acid to break down food (a potential area for ulcers)
2. The hindgut doesn’t produce acid but turns acid from sugar arriving here (potential area for ulcers)
3. Help the stomach and the hindgut to keep your horse happy and healthy
4. Always start with fibre! – This will buffer the stomach and feed the hindgut microbes.

Hay, chaff or ensiled forage is the easiest way to soak up that acidity! Make it the base of your feeds and feed before riding or travelling!   Feed in conjunction with Digest-Easi PLUS.

Management tips 

1. Feed rapid growing spring grass in moderation.
2. Always ensure access to hay. This will buffer and slow the rush of feed through the digestive system.
3. Digest-Easi PLUS slows the rush of feed, has digestive enzymes, and a proven prebiotic to maintain hindgut health. In addition, a proven mycotoxin binder complex to capture ingested moulds.
4. A hindgut buffer such as Equi-shure that survives the stomach acid and that is released in the hindgut which also helps to keep conditions neutral.

Managing mycotoxins in your horse:

During high season of mycotoxins, we recommend using Digest easi + morning and night, this 12 hour coverage will help ensure effective control in maintaining good behaviour in your horse.
