Description

Equine supplements for ulcer prevention are on the rise, but not all products are created equal. According to a survey of horse owners, Equine Gastric Ulcer Syndrome is one of the most common reasons to modify a horse’s diet.
Dietary management for horses with ulcers can include increasing forage and decreasing grain, as well as providing supplements that support a healthy digestive tract. Ulcer supplements are particularly popular among performance horses in heavy work or competition. 
While many safe and natural ingredients can support the health of the gastrointestinal tract, some purported anti-ulcer supplements lack research to validate their efficacy. Other ingredients (like antacid supplements for horses) will only temporarily mask the effects of ulcers while working against the horse’s natural physiology.
Here we review the 16 best supplements currently available to reduce the risk of ulcers and improve overall gut health in your horse. Read more: https://madbarn.com/ulcer-supplements-for-horses/
