A unique combination of minerals, amino acids and a prebiotic which play a role in general metabolism and are required for normal feed conversion.
GNF is a complementary feedingstuff which is suitable for feeding to horses suffering from gastric disturbances exhibiting as depressed appetite, weight loss, poor performance, or cribbing.
It contains:
• Calcium Carbonate and Magnesium Hydroxide which can stabilise the gastric fluids.
• Seaweed Extract (Laminaria Hyperborea) which can protect the non-glandular portion of the stomach from acid splash.
• Fructooligosaccharides which form a food substrate for the beneficial bacteria in the hind gut.
• G utamine which is an important amino acid for the repair of epithelial cells.
• Threonine is an amino acid, restriction of which may limit intestinal mucin synthesis.
• Slippery Elm, a complex mixture of polysaccharides rich in mucilage.
Instructions for Proper Use:
If your Veterinary Surgeon diagnoses Gastric Ulceration they may recommend a course of medical treatment.
GNF Paste can be a useful nutritional adjunct:
• After completion of the recommended treatment feed two 80g servings per day for 14 days (one 80g serving in the morning prior to feeding, and one 80g serving prior to the afternoon/evening feed.)
• GNF Paste can also be fed for maintenance of a healthy digestive tract by feeding one 80g serving per day (40g in the morning prior to feeding, and 40g prior to the afternoon/evening feed.)
• Alternatively as a maintenance nutritional adjunct feed 100g of GNF Pellets per day divided between the meals.
