Probiotics for horses are microbial preparations, usually yeast, that when added to the diet helps promote the growth of beneficial bacteria in the digestive system.
The probiotic in simplyirresistible is a live yeast that helps maintain gut health by stimulating the growth of healthy microbial populations particularly in the fibre-digesting large intestine. This has been proven in research to improve digestive efficiency. A healthy large intestine or hindgut is important since it comprises two-thirds of the horse’s digestive capacity and can be adversely affected by dietary change.
