Let's Talk About Equine Probiotics - Equitivia
09/01/2011 - By Equine Nutrition and Health Services
Equitivia - The Only Probiotic Grown with Equine Bacteria
Many equine probiotic products available do not contain equine-origin bacteria, but not Equitivia. This unique equine probiotic is equine-specific because of its equine origin. Learn more about Equitivia and how it can benefit your horse!
Take a look at the ingredients on listed on equine probiotic products currently available. What do you see? Ingredients like:
- Lactic Acid Bacteria
- Enterococcus faecium
- Lactobacillus acidophilus
- Lactobacillus casei
- Lactobacillus plantarum
These are some common ingredients you may find on the label of an equine probiotic, but what about the bacteria Lactobacillus reuteri? This bacteria, L. reuteri, is of equine origin, cultured from the colon of the horse. Not only is L. reuteri cultured right from the horse, it has also been shown to inhibit the growth of Salmonella.
Equitivia™ is a revolutionary equine probiotic that contains the equine-specific bacteria L. reuteri. Developed by Dr. Bill Bernard, Equitivia™ is unlike any other equine probiotic available. Not only is Equitivia™ equine-specific, it is also alive. Equitivia is designed with a unique protective package that maintains and ensures the viability of each portion or dose. Every time you administer Equitivia™, you know that your horse is receiving a live equine origin probiotic.
By being alive and equine-specific, Equitivia™ is the only probiotic that will colonize in the equine G.I. tract, making it a natural and more ethical way of maintaining a healthy digestive system.
As an equine probiotic, Equitivia™ is ideal for:
- Periods of abnormal G.I. function
- Before and during treatment with antibiotics
- Before and during periods of stress
- Before and during periods of hospitalization
- Prior to shipping
- Prior to stressful performance
- Weaning
- Maintaining a normal G.I. function
For complete equine digestive support, Equitivia™ can be used in conjunction with EquiBios, an equine probiotic that contains a blend of live Saccharomyces boulardii, a yeast organism that has been shown effective in the prevention and treatment of enteric clostridial disease.
Equitivia™ is unique, equine-specific, and alive. For your horse's gastrointestinal health, choose Equitivia™.
