Introducing BRAND NEW PROTEK HG. Stabilizing the hindgut during periods of change.

Horses live in a constant state of change. Continual change, whether small or large, is known to heavily impact hindgut microbiota and health, potentially leading to a wide range of health issues.

Changes that impact hindgut health include:

  • Dietary changes
  • Age
  • Exercise
  • Transport
  • Disease status
  • Medication use
  • Deworming
  • Stress

 

Impacts of change

 

These constant changes impact horses in many ways. Increased risk of colic, weight loss, diarrhea … just to name a few.

The key to reducing the impacts of change is stabilizing the hindgut and this is what Kelato’s BRAND NEW PROTEK HG can do for your horse!

What is PROTEK HG

PROTEK HG is Kelato’s ultimate hindgut supplement to optimize hindgut health during times of stress, illness, management, and dietary change. It is formulated in collaboration with world leading EGUS authority Dr Ben Sykes.

PROTEK HG blends unique live enteric-coated yeast probiotics with a powerful prebiotic, psyllium husk, superoxide dismutase antioxidant, and digestive enzymes to deliver effective hindgut benefits for all types of horses.

PROTEK HG

What makes PROTEK HG different

PROTEK HG contains the enteric-coated Levucell SC® Saccharomyces cerevisiae l-1077 active dry yeast probiotic that enables the hindgut to stabilize when change impacts its microbial population and pH. Levucell SC® is a source of live (viable), naturally occurring microorganisms.

Levucell SC® probiotic:

  • Stabilizes the hindgut microbiota during changes known to impact hindgut health
  • Assists in maintaining a rich and diverse hindgut microbiota
  • Reduces the drop in fecal pH in horses on high-grain diets
  • Increases the number of lactate-utilizing bacteria
  • Increases digestibility of dry matter, NDF and ADF

What makes Levucell SC® different from other yeast products?

  • Levucell SC® is enteric coated. This helps protect the yeast, ensuring that it remains viable until it reaches the hindgut.
  • Levucell SC® is scientifically backed.
  • Levucell SC® is one of the very few European Union approved yeast probiotics for use in horses as a digestive enhancer (4b1711).

PROTEK HG is the TOTAL hindgut package

To further optimize hindgut health during periods of change, PROTEK HG also contains:

  • Saccharomyces boulardii CNCM l-1079 active dry yeast probiotic which works in conjunction with Levucell SC® to regulate intestinal microflora profiles and help with manure consistency if your horse is impacted by diarrhea
  • Key digestive enzymes that help to increase fiber digestibility and improve the digestion of starch
  • Specific yeast prebiotics and psyllium husk to work synergistically with Levucell SC® to stimulate the growth of beneficial bacteria
  • Superoxide dismutase (SOD) antioxidant that helps against free radical damage whilst supporting immune health

  • During management and dietary changes
  • During times of stress and illness
  • To reduce the impacts of hindgut acidosis
