- Natural mucilage compounds and phospholipids
- Synergistic ingredients including yeast extracts
- Does not contain soy, wheat products or fillers
Sticky powder with a palatable vanilla milk flavour
Supplementation Guidelines
Each level scoopful of Gastro-Coat provides 40 grams.
In the Feed: 80 grams of Gastro-Coat can be mixed into the regular feed to help improve appetite and support the health of the gastro-intestinal system.
In a Small Feed (most popular): Give 80 grams of Gastro-Coat in a small feed of preferably lucerne chaff 30 minutes before training, travelling or competition to help horses maintain normal stomach function during the trip.
As an oil paste: Gastro-Coat can be given as an oil paste 5 -10 minutes before training or travelling for fussy horses or those reluctant to eat before or after working. Make the paste with 80 grams of Gastro-Coat and roughly 80 mls of vegetable or canola oil. It is recommended to paste Gastro-Coat with oil rather than water as the compounds in Gastro-Coat become activated with water (as similar to saliva) and become sticky in the oral syringe.
