Neigh-Lox Digestive Support for Horses

Preventing and treating equine gastric ulcer syndrome (EGUS) is a challenge faced by many veterinarians and horse owners. Gastric ulcer damage has been documented in 93% of horses in race training, in nearly 60% of other performance horses, and in 57% of all foals. Recreational horses and broodmares are also at risk. Unique patented formula aids in maintenance of a normal stomach environment that reduces risk of gastric ulcers. Buffers large amounts of acid. Long-acting – neutralizes excess acid and coats the stomach lining for up to 8 hours.

Each 2 oz dose contains 5,600 mg each aluminum phosphate and dihydroxy-aluminum sodium carbonate.

Directions: Divide portions equally within a 24 hour period; Young growing horses (6-12 months) - 2-3 scoops daily; Yearlings 12-24 months of age - 4-6 scoops daily; Horses - 4-6 scoops daily. 2 oz scoop enclosed.

More like nature intended.

In a natural state, horses graze constantly, producing gallons of acid-buffering saliva. Due to the combination of modern feeding and management practices, most horses no longer live this way. Limited access to pasture, the feeding of grain meals, and stressful lifestyles cause excess acid to accumulate in the stomach.

A research project recently conducted on a band of broodmares at the University of California, Davis revealed that even though the mares had not been exposed to the conditions conducive to ulcers, the occurrence of ulcers in the mares was approximately 70%. Research done on recreational horses showed that ulcer formation can begin in a couple of days when horses are stressed due to travel or other seemingly minor changes in their routine.
