The digestive system of a horse plays a huge role in overall health and well-being. If this delicate system becomes disrupted it can impact greatly on performance. For competition horses it can be a challenge to balance their training regime and travelling commitments with maintaining a favourable digestive environment that is essential in order to sustain vitality and peak performance.
Horses of every lifestyle require a minimum amount of dietary fibre as a food source for the micro-organisms located in the caecum and large colon and the diet of a competition horse is often high in concentrates to meet its energy and nutritional requirements, placing the small intestine under pressure to digest high levels of starch.
A combination of a high starch diet and less than adequate fibre can lead to disruption of normal hind gut function, reducing the ability of the hindgut to maintain a near-neutral pH.
By ensuring the competition horse is fed the right balance of high quality nutrients and promoting good gut health, the competition horse will be better placed to cope with the demands of a hectic life.
