A handy 2 week course of pellets, easy to give, palatable and fast acting. When grazing on very dry, dusty or sandy soil, some horses may ingest some of that matter. Although the body can deal with small amounts, if sand and soil become accumulated within the gut, it can create digestive upset. Sand Gard Pellets are palatable and easy to feed, they support healthy movement through the gut (peristalsis) and provides herbal ingredients to naturally ‘sweep’ out excesses that have accumulated in the gut. They also provide live probiotic yeasts to support a healthy microflora population within the gut. Sand Gard Pellets can be fed regularly for long term maintenance of optimum gut health in horses who may be ingesting sandy soil.

Composition

Psyllium seed, Marshmallow leaves, Brewers' yeast, Carrot (dried), Omicha berries, Rosehip shells, Milk thistle seeds, Turmeric, Dandelion leaves, Rosemary, Chlorella (dried), Mushroom (dried), Ginger, Ginkgo leaves, Liquorice, Rapeseed oil.

Feed Sand Gard wherever an accumulation within the gut is evident, or when grazing on dry, sandy pasture. Introduce gradually for fussy feeders. Feed as a 7 day course once a month for best results.

Psyllium Husk provides herbal support for digestive health and motility. Contains digestible fibre which is particularly recommended for horses on short and sandy grazing.

Equally, horses and ponies grazing sparse vegetation or given hay or feed spread out on sandy or very dry and dusty soils, can ingest varying amounts of sand. This sand can accumulate in the gut and cause digestive disturbances, adversely affecting the normal functioning of the gut. Pysllium Husk can help to clear away the sand from the digestive system by forming a gel-like substance that 'catches' the sand to clear it from the system.

May be fed daily for maintenance, or at loaded rate for one week monthly to support natural clearance.

Equine America Sand Out Pellets support a healthy digestive tract. Soil and pasture vary greatly throughout the UK. If a horse grazes on a sandy pasture, small amounts of sand and dirt will inevitably be ingested which, over time, may build up in the gut. 

Equally, horses and ponies grazing sparse vegetation or  given hay or feed spread out on sandy or very dry and dusty soils, can ingest varying amounts of sand. This sand can accumulate in the gut and cause digestive disturbances, adversely affecting the normal functioning of the gut.

Sandout pellets contains over 90% Psyllium husk – from the seeds of the Plantago ovata plant. Psyllium husk contains around 70% soluble fibre, and is known to absorb water rapidly (increasing in size by tenfold) and forming a gelatinous compound containing glycosides and mucilages.

It is thought that this gelatinous psyllium helps to stimulate the muscular waves or peristalsis which pushes the contents of the gut along its length, helping to expel the excess sand which may have accumulated in the gut. 

Because of the abrasive nature of sand as it moves through the digestive system, the gut lining may be effected, upsetting the balance of the vital microbiome (“gut bugs”) which normally adheres to the gut lining. So Sandout Pellets also contains a probiotic to help restore a healthy microbiome.

Sandout Pellets should be fed for 7 consecutive days in each month to avoid the gut and the microbiome becoming accustomed to the psyllium, and using it as a soluble fibre source rather than an aid to sand expulsion. Feeding for longer than 7 days should be discussed with your veterinary surgeon.

Important note for feeding: 

 Do not add to wet food, or allow to soak up moisture as this will activate the product before reaching the gut. If you do need to add to soaked feed we recommend keeping Sandout Pellets as dry as possible and adding immediately before feeding.

Pack size 2.6kg provides 4 x 7 day courses.

It is designed to optimise every horse's diet from family pony to performance athlete.

Please note, we can send this product to the UK only.

A blend of Pro and PreBiotics to promote gut stability - ideal for competition horses, horses recovering from antibiotic therapy and young foals prone to diarrhoea.

Developed in order to support the natural microbial repopulation of the gut, NAF Biotics is a unique combination of pre and probiotics. Biotics, 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.
