I’ve been feeding Protek GI on my vet’s recommendation. First to my senior horse who coliced frequently and suffered from slow motility and impactions to sooth and protect his stomach. After a while he refused to eat it, and no amount of creativity could change his mind. Now I feed it to my 5 year old who has recurrent and highly Inflammatory ulcers. He’s been on it for 2 years or so, and it has not seemed to affect the incidents of ulcers. Most recently, after two months of Gastroguard treatment, we put him back on Protek GI. After one month, the ulcers returned. We will be resuming Gastroguard; my vet is reaching out to Dr. Sykes for a consult.
I never write reviews - but this product has done a 180 on my horse. As a Lusitano, his personality leans towards some anxiety and anticipation tendencies, which has made him prone to chronic ulcers of various grades over the years - especially glandular (despite making his home environment nearly perfect). He also has IBD of the small intestine, contributing to ulcers and having a sensitive gut prone to colic like episodes. After that discovery, both my vet and nutritionist recommended this product. Although pricey, it has kept my guy ulcer free for nearly 2 years now (along with a diet change to very low starch and high fat). Not only that, I've noticed a huge change in his disposition -- he is more calm both at home and shows and has finally gained weight after years of struggling to keep it on. It is a large amount of powder (he gets 1 & 1/4 scoop 2x a day) - but I feed him his supplements in wetted beet pulp, so the product soaks in and he gets all of it. This has worked for me. He is a happy horse with a happy gut. At 18, he is looking and feeling good and still out competing at high levels in dressage. <3
I included this as part as my 365 degree management to prevent ulcers. This was part of my approach. Revisiting continuing this product in light of the return of the ulcers. No point in continuing to feed it and pay for it if it's not making the difference.
I bought this for my Hackney Horse/Sport Pony coming off ulcer meds. She was on it for a couple months afterwards. I then slowly weaned her off this product, but she clearly was uncomfortable again within a week or two. I put the full amount back in her feed for several weeks, and have been able to decrease it to 1/2 the total amount 1x/day. She seems to be happy there, so we’re going to stay there awhile.
Protek was recommended to me by a vet as I was managing a horse with challenging reoccurring gastric ulcers. The US rep was extremely helpful with shipping product to me in Florida when shipping delays caused late product arrival. Will continue to use this product in my program.
