High Tech Science in action, from the laboratory to the feed room

Digestion – Research has shown that including yeast culture and prebiotics in the horses' diet is beneficial to overall intestinal function with positive consequences in relation to problems associated with digestive upsets.

Yeast Culture – Blue Chip Pro contains a specific yeast culture that helps create the correct acidic balance in the hind gut, resulting in increased numbers of beneficial bacteria in the caecum and colon of the horse. The inclusion of a yeast culture in the diet of young adult horses on an exercise programme also demonstrated improved fitness and lower heart rates than similar unsupplemented horses on the same programme.

Prebiotic – Mannanoligosaccharide, a prebiotic has been demonstrated to support overall performance and well-being in horses. Prebiotics provide a food source for the beneficial bacteria as well as being able to bind certain pathogenic bacteria and help remove them from the gut.
