Kohnke's Own Gastro Coat 3kg

Manufacturer: Kohnke's Own
Add as a supplement to mixes containing grains and hay, which are often low in these important types of protective compounds. Helps to maintain the appetite and natural digestive function in all horses.
 
GastroCoat contains a blend of specially selected common feeds that contain natural phospholipids, mucilage and buffering compounds that help to maintain the physical protective lining of the gastric and upper intestinal lining of horses. GastroCoat is a natural supplement that may be used in conjunction with medications for gastro-intestinal ulceration.

Did you know that grains and many ready-mixed and processed feeds are low in natural mucilage compounds?
Gastro-Coat may assist your horse’s appetite and
digestive function...

 A Dietary Supplement of Natural Compounds for the Gastro-Intestinal Tract of Horses

 
  • Contains natural mucilage compounds to help the action of chewing and salivation to maintain normal gastric and upper intestinal function.
 
  • Helps maintain the appetite in hard working and traveling horses.
 
  • Palatable and well accepted by horses.
 
  • Drug free – natural mucilage compounds – does not contravene rules of racing/competition – it is a feed supplement – not a drug based medication!


Provides a source of natural mucilage and sticky gum-like compounds which are low in grain and protein meal based diets. Natural mucilages are especially low in processed feeds where the heat of steam-rolling, micronisation and extrusion damages these compounds which assist chewing and saliva in its action to maintain normal digestive function as a horse exercises, travels or when waiting to race
or compete.

How to give Gastro-Coat
 
In the feed
Gastro-Coat can be given in your horse’s daily feed. This is particularly suited for horses which eat too quickly. Sprinkle the required dosage of Gastro-Coat (1 scoop (15 grams) per 100kg bodyweight) over the top of your horse’s feed.
 
By Oral Syringe
Horses with reduced appetite benefit from a syringe dose of Gastro-Coat 15 minutes before their meal. This can reduce pain and picky or slow eating. Mix 5 scoops of Gastro-Coat in 50 ml of oil and paste your horse using a large oral syringe. The unique barrier forming component of Gastro-Coat activates in water so it is advised to use an oil slurry for easy dosage.
 
Pre-exercise meal
Horses with reduced performance, girthiness or reluctance to go forward benefit from a small pre-exercise meal that includes Gastro-Coat. This small snack will not overfill the stomach or slow the horse, but will increase comfort and contentment during training and travelling. Add the required dose of Gastro-Coat to 500 g of crumbled alfalfa cubes and 2 tablespoons of limestone (for extra buffering power). Give this small meal 30 minutes before working or travelling your horse for up to 4 hours of protection from the pain of gastric irritation.
