Situations Digestive EQ is ideal forUpdated a year ago


Digestive EQ can be fed to all horses at any time and will assist with maintaining normal, healthy gut function. Great gut health can help improve coat shine and appearance, assist appetite, help calm behaviour and support strong performance and recovery.


There are situations when we recommend you add Digestive EQ to the diet including when your horse has:

  • Been competing or under regular performance stress;
  • Gastric ulcers or is especially prone to them;
  • Pasture like ryegrass, fescue or pastures that are often damp/wet that may contain mycotoxins;
  • Been on antibiotic treatment;
  • Been off feed for any period of time due to things like long-haul travel, illness or surgery;
  • Been fed raw (uncooked) grain like corn or barley for any period of time (e.g. off the rack racehorses);
  • Diarrhoea;
  • Trouble maintaining weight despite plenty of feed;
  • A poor appetite;
  • Girthiness or generally grumpy behaviour;
  • Anxious behaviour;
  • Commenced a breeding program.

If your horse is on a well-balanced diet that is already meeting vitamin and mineral requirements but you want to do more to support gut health, then we would suggest that you feed Digestive EQ.

Of course, always do a full veterinarian assessment with your horse when you are concerned about their health.




Digestive EQ will benefit most horses, but it is especially great for:

  • Horses in low to moderate work
  • Off the track horses
  • Spelling high performance horses
  • Horses recovering from ill health including colic and gastric ulcers
  • Weanlings, yearlings and horses being started under the saddle
