Osmonds Gut-Rite Digestive Supplement for Horses
Osmonds Gut-Rite is a natural bio-probiotic supplement for horses and ponies that helps maintain a healthy digestive system. It is fed as a short two to three day course and is best for horses under digestive stress, including those with a loss of appetite, horses travelling regularly and animals convalescing.
The formula contains Vetoxan to help maintain a healthy digestive tract and Nutrimin to help remove any build up of toxins from the system and to slow down the passage of feed through the gut. Diamond V Yeast, sodium bicarbonate, electrolytes and added vitamins and minerals complete the mix to help aid recovery. Browse more horse supplements to build a feeding routine that suits your yard.

FAQ
How much Gut-Rite do I feed?
Feed 1g per kg bodyweight for two to three days. A 500kg horse therefore receives 500g per day, blended onto feed or mixed with half a litre of clean warm water.
What is in Osmonds Gut-Rite?
It contains Vetoxan, Nutrimin, Diamond V Yeast, sodium bicarbonate and an electrolyte blend with added vitamins and minerals.
When is the best time to feed it?
It is intended for horses under digestive stress, so it is commonly fed around travelling, during periods of loss of appetite and while a horse is convalescing.
What if my horse will not eat the powder?
Gut-Rite can be mixed with half a litre of clean warm water instead of being added to feed, which suits fussy eaters and horses that are off their feed but still drinking.
Can I feed it to a pony?
Yes. The dose is based on bodyweight at 1g per kg, so ponies simply receive a smaller measured amount than a larger horse.
Is it suitable for competition horses?
Rules vary by discipline and governing body, so check the current prohibited-substances list for your competition body before feeding if you compete.
