Description

This unique combination of pre and probiotics is designed to support the natural microbial repopulation of the gut. Contains live yeasts which are proven to support the health of the horse's gut. The prebiotic ingredients are fructo-oligosaccharides, which support the growth of micro-organisms in a natural, sustainable form within the digestive tract, thus allowing beneficial bacteria to proliferate over harmful bacteria. Furthermore, fructo-oligosaccharides are non digestible by enzymes and therefore reach the hind-gut safely. The probiotic ingredients are present as encapsulated live yeast cultures. These are bile resistant and therefore have the ability to pass unharmed through the stomach to reach the large intestine. Here, they work in synergy with the prebiotic ingredients to support healthy, natural and normal digestive function. Biotics is an ideal formula for hard working competition and performance horses, horses recovering from antibiotic therapy and young foals prone to diarrhoea, all of whom can be susceptible to microbial upset and consequently digestive imbalance.

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of active ingredients does NAF Biotics contain?
NAF Biotics contains two types of active ingredients: prebiotics in the form of fructo-oligosaccharides, and probiotics in the form of encapsulated live yeast cultures. Together these work to support the natural microbial balance of the horse's gut.
How do the fructo-oligosaccharides in NAF Biotics work?
Fructo-oligosaccharides are non-digestible by enzymes, which means they pass through the digestive system intact and reach the hind-gut safely. There they support the growth of beneficial micro-organisms in a natural, sustainable way, helping beneficial bacteria to proliferate over harmful bacteria.
How do the live yeast cultures survive the horse's digestive system to reach the large intestine?
The probiotic live yeast cultures in NAF Biotics are encapsulated and bile resistant, which allows them to pass unharmed through the stomach and reach the large intestine, where they work in synergy with the prebiotic ingredients.
Which horses is NAF Biotics particularly suited to?
According to NAF, Biotics is an ideal formula for hard working competition and performance horses, horses recovering from antibiotic therapy, and young foals prone to diarrhoea - all of whom can be susceptible to microbial upset and digestive imbalance.
Why might a horse recovering from antibiotic therapy benefit from NAF Biotics?
Antibiotic therapy can disrupt the natural microbial balance of the gut. NAF Biotics is specifically designed to support the natural microbial repopulation of the gut, making it suitable for horses in recovery from such treatment.
