Great
Things Come in Small Packages The
well-being of even the biggest and strongest horses
depends on some very small packages—the beneficial
microbes and yeasts that thrive in the healthy gut. These
organisms co-exist with the horse in a classic symbiotic
relationship, in which both the ‘host’ (the horse) and
the ‘guests’ (the microbes and yeasts) depend on each
other for their mutual survival.
Microscopic
Nutrient Factories Veterinary
researchers report that this natural symbiosis in the
horse’s hind gut provides a variety of nutritional
advantages. Unlike the horse’s own digestive processes,
intestinal microbes are able to break down cellulose, the
tough carbohydrate fiber that makes up the plant structure
of forage, hay, and grain. Microbes release the products
of their cellulose digestion as volatile fatty acids,
which the horse absorbs and uses as a major source of
aerobic energy. Beneficial microbes also produce large
quantities of B complex vitamins, and may make a
substantial contribution to the horse’s overall B
vitamin nutrition. For example, unsupplemented feeds
contain essentially no vitamin B12; horses rely on
intestinal microbes to produce this essential vitamin for
them.
No
Vacancy Perhaps the most
immediate benefit of normal microbial and yeast colonies is
the way they dominate the intestinal environment in the
cecum and large colon, making it difficult for pathogenic
(disease-causing) bacteria to establish a foothold. Thus,
the first sign of the collapse of the beneficial colonies is
often a rapid increase in the activity of E. coli and other
pathogens, typically accompanied by symptoms ranging from
loose stools to full-blown scours.

extract, rich in glucomannans (GM) and
mannanoligosaccharides (MOS). Thanks to its global approach
to replenishing the full array of ingredients required by
healthy colonies, Micro Balance™
produces much faster results for horses of all ages. In
fact, if you don’t think Micro Balance ™
is the fastest equine microbial support system you’ve ever

with the sudden problems brought on by heat stress,
dehydration, and exhaustion during traveling and
performance, you’ll find Micro Balance™
to be one of the handiest tools in your horse care arsenal.
Simply squeeze the contents of the tube into the back of the
horse’s mouth. For extra protection during periods of
stress, use the handy dose dial to measure a small daily
maintenance dose. Also makes a great complement to new Trailer
Express™!
Recommended
Feeding:
For immediate care: Feed 5 to 10
ml per 100 lbs body weight. For most adult horses, feed
entire contents of tube.
Recommended maintenance:
