"F-C-R"

"F-C-R" is a "new concept" product aimed at maximising all aspects of Food Conversion. Formulated entirely from natural ingredients and based on the latest research findings from scientists around the World, it is the unique way that the intimately related physiological reactions are handled, that provide this product with its special and effective characteristics.

The "Bed-rock" for all aspects of horse’s well being is derived from the quality and quantity of the feed ingested and the way that they are able utilise those feedstuffs or supplements in the environment that they operate in.

"F-C-R" is based on a unique combination of phyto-nutrients and plant sterols. These take account of the overall environment within the gastrointestinal tract itself with a view to constantly keeping it at optimum efficiency whatever the varying feed intake characteristics or the training/environmental regime that the horse is under.

Hind Gut Infections

It has become much more noticeable in the professional horse-racing world that increasing numbers of animals are suffering from hindgut problems;these are manifesting themselves by loose droppings and signs of infection. Analysis of the droppings will probably provide valuable information as to the extent of the problems, but possibly not the cause. Potential solutions may have to be tried sequentially?

Potential Causes:

• Low gut pH due to the food intake of cereals being in excess of the animal’s work-load.
• Excess cereals can lead to negative fermentation, whereby part of the intake is not properly digested.
• Leads to the Impaired production of VFAs’, Acetates, Proprionates, Butyrates and “B” vitamins. VFAs’ are the horses main source of energy.
• The impairment is caused by disturbances in the balance of beneficial to pathogenic bacteria.
• Feeding less cereal is not always an option.

• Effective FOOD CONVERSION for horses of all ages and types.
• Restores nutritional balances, hence minimising the risk of COLIC.
• Provides effective stress management that could lead to ULCER formation
• Helps maintain efficient hindgut functioning, minimising the potential of LAMINITUS.
• Increasingly effective within 2 weeks of commencement.
• Economical in use.

• Aids MUSCLE PROTECTION by free radical sequestration.
• Designed to help minimise LACTIC ACID build up in the HINDGUT and the MUSCLES.
• Provides nutritional support for the organs aiding DETOXIFICATION.
• Contributes to maintaining an effective IMMUNE FUNCTION.
• Helps counteract the NEGATIVE aspects of a HIGH STARCH DIET.
• Helps maintain the dynamics of the nutrient movement through the DIGESTIVE SYSTEM
