Gastric ulcers in horses: why feeding matters
The composition of the feed dose and feeding patterns have a major impact on digestive health. Gastric ulcer syndrome (EGUS) is one of the common problems caused by improper feeding.
The composition of the feed dose and the feeding method have a major impact on the health of the horse's digestive tract. Equine gastric ulcer syndrome (EGUS) is just one of the common problems that can arise from improper feeding and diet.
If your veterinarian has diagnosed EGUS in your horse, it may be helpful to review how you feed the horse and take care of its diet. It will help to break down the individual risk factors in the diet and then put in place practical measures to help horses stay healthy.
At Saracen Horse Feeds, we work closely with experts in nutrition, research and veterinary medicine. This allows us not only to offer research-proven products to support horses with EGUS, but also to convey care principles in a clear way that really help these horses – and horses in general –.
Podívejte se na exkluzivní seminář (v angličtině), který vznikl u příležitosti 20. výročí naší spolupráce s Kentucky Equine Research. Naše hlavní nutriční specialistka Lizzie Drury v něm s odborníky Dr. Peterem Huntingtonem, Eamonem Smythem, Jackem Ashbym a Katie Powell z veterinární kliniky Nodwood House Equine probírá nejnovější poznatky.

Our EGUS-prone equine feeds are based on research and in collaboration with Kentucky Equine Research and meet the nutritional criteria of a recognised UK certification scheme for EGUS-appropriate feed. If combined with other feeding and care measures, they can help reduce the risk of EGUS and maintain normal digestive function.
Our qualified horse nutrition consultants are well aware of how challenging it can be to care for such a horse. They'll be happy to help you relax and enjoy time with your horse.
