Case Study: NAF Daily Gut Health

As the seasons change, so might the feeding behaviour of your horse, resulting in an irritation of the gut. NAF Daily Gut Health can help relieve this. This is Aeron’s story...

Over the summer months my horse Faldo was mainly living out in the open and only having a handful of feed once a day. Come October, we were faced with limited turnout, meaning he would stay in at night and be out in the pasture during the day. This resulted in a significant change in his diet as he was having a larger feed and a large intake of hay.

What were the symptoms?

It was obvious that the change in diet had disrupted Faldo’s gut, causing him to have loose droppings. He also seemed to be a lot more lethargic and simply lacked the energy that he had during the summer months. This caused me enough concern to seek advice on the matter.

What treatments or alternations did you provide?

I was recommended NAF Daily Gut Health straight away, so I didn’t try any other treatments or make any alterations to Faldo’s feed or environment. I initially provided him with the recommended loading rate for the supplement in his feed which was 1-2 scoops a day, meaning he had a scoop in both breakfast and dinner. I then reduced this down to 1/2-1 for standard maintenance after ten days.

What were the results?

After about a week and a half, Faldo was back to his old self. His droppings has returned to a normal consistency and his playfulness and energy had returned. I have continued to use this supplement everyday and have not had any recurring issues.
