My horse is elderly and has terrible trouble with his digestive system, will Coligone help him? Gut: According to the journal Gastroenterology, collagen supplements may help support the stomach lining 6 .*

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 If you need assistance in choosing the appropriate supplement for your horse, our team of specialists is readily available to provide expert advice and support. We take pride in our exceptional customer service, dedicated to assisting you in selecting the most suitable products for your horse's unique requirements. To maximise hindgut health and good condition through the winter, forage should be fed on a truly ad-lib basis. If your horse is stabled for longer periods during the winter, then the use of slow feeders and double hay nets can help ensure that forage is always available. Additionally, if your horse is turned out then putting hay or haylage out in the field will also help to ensure they have access to a continuous supply for optimum hindgut health. 2. Increase water intake Seaweed buffer and sodium bicarbonate help maintain healthy gastric acid levels and support a balanced digestive tractWater is the most important nutrient in your horse’s diet, but naturally they can be inclined to drink less during the winter. Water is key for a healthy hindgut because it helps stimulate gut motility and keeps the hindgut contents hydrated, helping to reduce the risk of colic. Making sure your horse drinks enough water is essential. When additional energy is required, this can also be supplied through sources of oil such as Ex-Selenium Oil. To help maintain a healthy hindgut, fibre should always be the first choice with oil added to boost calorie intake according to work and condition. Using fibre and oil instead of high levels of starch from cereals will help prevent excess starch reaching the hindgut and causing dysbiosis within the microbiome, which can compromise hindgut health. 4. Manage Dietary Change

Coligone Liquid can be fed on a daily basis 50ml twice a day to support the digestive tract and aid the stomach against gastric acid. Contains natural active ingredients, including a Seaweed Buffer to assist with excess gastric acid. FOS & MOS prebiotics, and yea sacc to help maintain a healthy balanced digestive system. Horses that are struggling to hold weight and condition during the winter will often need extra feed but to keep their hindgut healthy it’s important to keep starch from cereals to a minimum or avoid altogether. Horses have a limited capacity to digest starch in the small intestine. Undigested excess starch from cereals can reach the hindgut and cause imbalances in the microbiome, leading to microbial dysbiosis which can result in hindgut acidosis. Hindgut acidosis is a consequence of the rapid growth of certain types of lactic acid producing bacteria. The increased lactic acid causes a drop in pH and results in a more acidic environment. This can lead to inflammation of the hindgut membrane and potentially laminitis or colic.Feeding more varied forages, like mixed meadow hay, haylage and chopped meadow grass during winter when horses are stabled more, will create more forage diversity and help promote a rich, diverse hindgut microbial population and optimise your horse’s hindgut health. Helps to maintain healthy acid levels in the gut and may be used during periods where disturbance of the microflora has occurred within the digestive tract. If your horse needs extra feed to maintain condition during the winter, make any dietary changes gradually to help prevent digestive upset. Ideally changes should be made over 2-3 weeks, to allow the gut microbes time to adjust and maintain a healthy hindgut throughout. Feeding Coligone, which maintains natural acid balance within the digestive tract, may assist in such circumstances. At Hyperdrug, we recognise the significance of maintaining a healthy digestive system in horses. Consequently, we offer an array of supplements focused on digestion, gut balance, and probiotics to support your horse's gastric and digestive health.

The fibre in forage gets broken down through a process of fermentation by billions of microbes in the hindgut, collectively known as the hindgut microbiome. These provide a source of energy for your horse for work and condition, but also releases heat, keeping your horse warm from the inside out. This central heating will help maintain condition and the better quality the forage; the more heat is generated. FOS (Fructooligosaccharides) and MOS (mannanoligosaccharide) prebiotics to support a healthy digestive tract. Coligone maintains a healthy environment which enables the foal to thrive. The unique mucosal-buffer action coats teh stomach and provides a buffer-raft to guard against gastric irritation in the delicate upper areas of the stomach.

Yea sacc and MOS/FOS Prebiotics encourage hind gut fermentation and actively stimulate fibre digesters, leading to effective fibre digestion. Feed Coligone Liquid or Powder on a daily basis if your horse is grouchy/bad tempered or labelled marish.

A combination of Yea sacc and MOS/FOS Prebiotics encourage hind gut fermentation and actively stimulate fibre digesters, resulting in effective fibre digestion Plenty of good-quality forage helps keep the digestive tract functioning well and keeps those all-important hindgut microbes who thrive on fibre, happy and healthy. 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.Excellent for use whilst travelling. (where the horse is less likely to eat and is experiencing higher levels of stress) It has been reported that up to 60% of foals have gastric acid related issues from birth, which can result in foals experiencing side effects such as: 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.
