26th Oct 2001	New Prebiotic From Baileys Horse Feeds Food for the "good" bacteria As autumn turns to winter many horses will, by necessity, be experiencing changes in their diet and routines. Hay, or other forage alternatives, will increasingly replace grass, and compound feed may be introduced or increased to maintain condition. Whilst we endeavour to make these changes gradually, the microbial population of a horse's gut may still be disrupted resulting in digestive upsets and associated under performance. New Baileys Digest Plus is a prebiotic intended to help restore the natural bacterial content of the gut and with it, overall good health in the horse. The equine gut plays host to a multitude of species of bacteria, some of great benefit to the horse and some potentially pathogenic. Baileys Digest Plus contains short chain fructo-oligosaccharides (scFOS) which are made up of molecules of fructose and glucose. The bonds joining them can only be broken down by the beneficial bacteria and not by the horse itself, so Digest Plus acts as a food source for the good bacteria allowing them to flourish at the expense of any "undesirable" species. Loose droppings or diarrhoea are a clear sign that the balance between "good" and "bad" bacterial species has been disrupted. Stress, from competing, travelling or changes in routine, increases the passage of food through the gut and with it the bacteria. The content of the diet, or changes made to it, could allow pathogenic species to flourish at the expense of the beneficial ones. Baileys Digest Plus can help to reverse these imbalances by "feeding" the good bacteria encouraging them to proliferate and keep the pathogenic ones at bay. Please click here for further details

24th Oct. 2001	Happy Horse Hay Steamer Attention! Do You Soak Hay, Does Your Horse Suffer From COPD Or Dust And Hay Allergies? Then take a look at the Happy Horse Hay Steamer This easy to use system is designed to do the same AND MORE as soaking hay without all the inconvenience of dustbins full of water and heavy wet hay nets to hang up. It is the ideal solution for horses with dust allergies and respiratory problems. There is an ever increasing number of horses that require soaked hay all year round. This arduous job usually entails soaking nets of hay in gallons of unreusable water (Soaked hay water is classed as effluent and should not be discharged down drains) and then struggling to hang them up. In winter this is an even less appealing task when you end up with cold hands and dripping wet clothing. Added to this is the possibility of exposing our horses to Bacteria, Fungal Spores and Dust Mites not killed by soaking plus the expense of supplementing the vital minerals leached out of the hay during the soaking process. As with most ideas this one came about through having to do this job ourselves. Please click here for further details

22nd Oct. 2001	Probiotics in Horses: Research is the Key to Unlocking Their Potential Probiotic therapy is emerging as a popular and potentially valuable tool in the practice of human and veterinary medicine. Probiotic therapy may be useful in the treatment or prevention of a number of disorders, particularly diarrheic disease. Still, clinical application is difficult due to a lack of research in horses and questionable quality control of commercial products. Dr. Scott Weese of the Department of Clinical Studies at the University of Guelph is burning to build on his current research of probiotics in horses. His work is contributing to clearly determining the appropriate organisms, appropriate doses and conditions that are potentially treatable with probiotics. The appealing properties of probiotics include the ability to reduce antibiotic use, the apparently very high index of safety, and the public's perception about "natural" or "alternative" therapies. The definition of a probiotic was refined in 1998 to: "living microorganisms, which upon digestion in certain number, exert health benefit beyond inherent basic nutrition". Regardless of the definition, certain criteria have been developed to evaluate the potential of microorganisms to function as probiotics. Please click here to continue
