The Importance of a High-Fibre, Low-Starch Diet for Horses with EGUS:

Equine Gastric Ulcer Syndrome (EGUS) poses significant challenges for horse owners and trainers, impacting performance and well-being. Managing EGUS often involves dietary modifications, with a high-fibre, low-starch diet playing a pivotal role.

1. Gastrointestinal Support: High-fibre diets stimulate saliva production and increase chewing time, aiding in buffering stomach acid and reducing the risk of ulcer formation.
2. Starch Reduction: Minimizing starch content in the diet helps mitigate ulcer symptoms triggered by spikes in blood glucose levels and gastric acid production.
3. Sustained Energy: Fibre serves as a slow-release energy source, providing horses with steady energy levels without the abrupt fluctuations associated with high-starch diets.

Incorporating feeds from the Bluegrass Extra Pro Range, such as Re-Lite, Re-Leve, or Re-Solve, into the diet of horses with EGUS can play a crucial role in promoting digestive health, alleviating ulcer symptoms, and enhancing overall well-being.
