The high fibre trickle feeding requirement of the horse's digestive system can be difficult to balance with the modern stabling regimes, work requirements and unnatural diets. Research shows us that large numbers of our equines, from racehorses to leisure horses, are living with digestive disturbances resulting from excess acid.

Veterinary treatment is a popular and effective solution in the short term, but to maintain the health of the stomach in the long term, we must ensure the diet is fibre based with low starch (little or no concentrates), and it is also advised to use targeted nutrition to improve the diet.

GastriVet

NAF delivers Extra Performance for the health and maintenance of the foregut. NAF understands that training, competition, stabling and feeding issues can lead to added stress and therefore the need to give extra support to the stomach lining in the presence of excess acid conditions. To improve the horse's diet NAF have developed and trialled GastriVet, naturally, for Five Star Performance.

GastriVet delivers Extra Performance over antacid supplements by not only balancing the pH level in the gut through a palatable combination of antacids, but also by supporting the natural anti-inflammatory process and maintaining the mucosal lining of the stomach wall.

• Feed a small, fibre based feed directly before riding

• Avoid feeding straw for at-risk animals

• Ensure fresh water is always available

• Split daily supplement portions across daily meals for maximum efficacy
