Pre- and probiotics are considered “functional ingredients” that are added to horse feed to provide benefits to your horse. The environment of the intestine (a.k.a. gut) contains naturally occurring beneficial microorganisms commonly called ‘bugs’. Gut bugs are found in all species, including humans, and are essential to the digestion process. For the horse, gut bugs work to break down components of forage and feed as they pass through the digestive tract. The bugs deconstruct complex molecules within feedstuffs, which releases nutrients and allows the synthesis of energy substrates and important vitamins. Those nutrients are then absorbed through the intestines into the bloodstream, where they become available to cells in the body to support basic maintenance, growth and activity. Prebiotics: Products that promote the natural growth of beneficial bacteria populations. Probiotics: Beneficial bacteria similar to naturally occurring organisms in the hindgut that help support digestive health (also known as direct-fed microbials). Potential Benefits of Adding Prebiotics and Probiotics to Equine Feeds: Improved gut health Improved feed efficiency Improved digestion Improved nutrient absorption Reduced risk of digestive upsets Reduced stress impact during competition or diet changes Details About Prebiotics: Prebiotics, previously referred to as yeast culture, provide support and energy to the ‘good’ bacteria in the gastro intestinal tract. Together, prebiotics and probiotics support the digestion process and allow the body to more readily absorb the nutrients in feed. How Prebiotics work in the intestine The unique prebiotic found in all Nutrena premium feeds aid in increasing the level of nutrients absorbed from feed by nurturing the micro-flora population in the gut. Flourishing micro-flora more fully convert feedstuffs to nutrients. With the resulting higher nutrient level, more nutrients are available for absorption allowing the horse to absorb the optimum amoun
