Hartog Lucerne Mix Digest is the natural solution for stomach and intestinal problems

Horses that receive a grain-rich or low-fiber ration, are exposed to stress or have to deal with illness are more likely to develop gastrointestinal complaints. Particularly in sport horses, older horses and (chronically) sick horses, damage to the stomach wall or even stomach ulcers are more likely to develop. In trotting and racing, 60-90% of horses suffer from stomach problems such as stomach ulcers. Horses cannot escape this problem in regular dressage and show jumping and recreation. Intestinal problems such as an imbalance in the intestinal flora, damage to the intestinal wall or reduced growth and development of healthy intestinal villi are also common.

Why is Hartog Lucerne-Mix Digest different from other products for gastrointestinal problems?

Lucerne-Mix Digest starts with the basics: namely, good roughage. The roughage mix is ​​very versatile (also preventive and in case of illness) and is the only one with the unique POWERSTART formula and Diamond V yeast culture.

POWERSTART formula

POWERSTART protects the stomach and intestinal wall against pathogenic (disease-causing) bacteria and repairs wounds and damage to the mucous membrane so that nutrients are better absorbed. The acid buffers positively influence the acidity in the gastrointestinal tract. The yeasts and prebiotics support the growth and development of a healthy population of microorganisms in the gut.

POWERSTART® consists of Butyrate and Tanins. Butyrate is a body's own substance that is released during the digestion of crude fiber. This micro-element falls under the fatty acids and is one of the most important sources of energy for a horse. The intestinal cells / intestinal villi feed on this sustainable source of energy, which supports the normal functioning of the intestine and the development of healthy intestinal cells.

Tannins are extracted from sweet chestnuts. These hydrolysable tannins have an astringent effect and promote saliva production. They fix proteins to an extra layer on the mucous membrane of the stomach and intestinal wall. The acid buffers positively influence the acidity in the gastrointestinal tract and the yeasts and prebiotics support the growth and development of a balanced population of microorganisms in the intestines.

Other health-promoting substances

Diamond V Yeast culture – yeast cultures stimulate the growth of cellulite bacteria by up to 40%. In this way, the ration can be used more efficiently and fewer digestive disorders occur. The combination of better digestion and energy utilization and lower fatty acid mobilization during exercise result in a lower lactic acid level in the blood. A horse that is offered Diamond V yeast culture on a daily basis recovers more quickly from exertion and/or stress.

Acid buffers – The calcium-rich Alfalfa and the added mineral magnesium oxide have a buffering effect against excess stomach acid.

Prebiotics – Inulin is extracted from the roots of chicory. These easily digestible fibers are an excellent source of nutrition for the lactobacilli or streptococci in the large intestine. Inulin stimulates growth and multiplies the micro-organisms that ferment the crude fiber in the intestine.

Linseed oil is a source of omega-3 and often much less present in the ration than omega-6. Because horses are grazers by nature, they require a higher proportion of omega-3 fatty acids than many other animals. Linseed has a positive effect on the gastrointestinal mucosa and promotes intestinal peristalsis. The mucous substances attract water, which increases the volume and promotes bowel movement.

Lucerne is naturally slightly bitter. This is due to the extremely low sugar and starch content in the plant. To increase the palatability, liquorice and wonderfully fragrant aromas have been used. The added fruit and vegetables give a nice subtle taste to the roughage mix and are also very healthy. No grain, molasses and other high-energy sweeteners have been used in this product.
