Everything I have researched and learned about this product is that it is going to be the best possible thing out there for my horse's pyloric ulcer prevention program, and so far, it is working. However, as he is an easy keeper and doesn't need much hard feed, it is difficult to mix a cup or more worth of powdered supplement with his hard feed and get him to eat it. He has started refusing his feed altogether because he doesn't like the excessive amount of powder, not even if we wet it down. I am going to try a different feed blend to see if we can keep him eating the ProtekGI powder, but I think it is going to cost me even more money to change his feed. On top of the very high cost of this supplement, I don't know if this feed change will be sustainable, and we may have to quit the supplement altogether and just forego the performance dreams we had, as I can't afford frequent ulcer scoping and treatment, which is just as expensive as this supplement is becoming. Wish there was a more affordable answer. Also wish this supplement could be provided in a palatable pellet form.
My mare was showing signs of GI upset, so I started her on Protek GI. Within a few days I noticed improvement in her symptoms. My only issue is that it's difficult to get her to finish the full dosage for her weight because it's a lot of powder, even when mixed with soaked feed.
Yes, there is an answer to the timeless problem.
I have tried psyllium husk, and bentonite clay, struggled for months to get control.
This seems to have worked.
Very pleased.
My unbelievably picky horse actually eats this and licks his bowl clean. After consulting with Kelato nutritionist, she confirmed that I can mix the product with water and feed it. It turns into a thick cake batter like consistency but my horse loves it. Otherwise the powder is so light that my horse blows it away with each sniff.
I can’t speak to its efficacy yet as my horse is still on Gastrogard and Misoprostol. In hopes that the Protek GI will aid in making the transition successful.
