Gastric Ulcers

Ulceration of the Horses Gastrointestinal Tract

Stomach ulcers were traditionally thought to happen when acid secretion, combined with disruptions in mucus production (mainly due to stress) led to lesions which were exacerbated by contact with acid.

However recent research and increased understanding of the role of bacteria in the stomach, has progressed this theory. Now it has been shown that additionally the fermentation of some products by the gastric microflora can have a role in ulcer production.

Barastoc GastrolizeTM

How does an antacid work?

At Barastoc, we are making it our mission to help improve horses suffering stomachs, particularly Equine Gastric Ulcer Syndrome (EGUS). We use a specific equine antacid called GastrolizeTM in Barastoc Complete Performer. It works by neutralizing the excess acid in the horses stomach. Antacids do not affect the amount of acid produced so there is no impact on protein digestion.

Fibre Beet

Supporting Equine Gastric Ulcer Syndrome

Fibre-Beet is recommended to help in the control of Equine Gastric Ulcer Syndrome (EGUS) as it can act as a moderator in the control of ulcers. It can be fed alongside concentrates to help maintain a normal acidity level in the stomach.

The effects from Fibre-Beet can last up to 6 hours from a single discrete meal, providing materials to maintain and bolster the mucin layers in the stomach and along the length of the gastrointestinal tract. This can counter stress and other behavioural factors.
