A study into the effectiveness of a feed supplement designed to help with equine gastric ulcer syndrome (EGUS) has concluded that it offers useful nutritional support.

TRM, which sells a range of high spec supplements, undertook a major clinical trial before launching Gut Nutrition Formula, a unique supplement for daily feeding to horses and ponies prone to gastric disturbances.

The study, which was presented at both the World Equine Veterinary Conference and the Equine Nutrition Conference in Vienna, looked at a group of Thoroughbred horses, using endoscopy to evaluate the effectiveness of GNF when compared to a control group not fed GNF.
 
From the results of the study it can be concluded that GNF offers useful nutritional support for horses suffering from gastric ulcers. It is considered a beneficial adjunct to veterinary treatment and has also produced very encouraging results in an ongoing prophylactic (preventative) trial.

Added to the horse’s feed ration, GNF contains prebiotics, important amino acids, seaweed extract that’s rich in essential nutrients and minerals identified as important in maintaining a healthy digestive system.

TRM’s Tom Barrett explains, “The published clinical research has proven that GNF is effective at providing nutritional support for gastric health.

“Maintaining gastric health is fundamental to efficient digestive function and maximum utilisation of feed, so it’s extremely important to choose a supplement like GNF that you can be totally confident will produce the result you expect.”
