EquiShure
EquiShure® from Kentucky Equine Research (KER) is a time-released buffer designed to maintain a stable pH in the horse’s hindgut — where up to 70% of energy is derived from fermentation. High-grain or high-fructan diets can cause an acidic shift in the hindgut, favoring lactic-acid-producing bacteria and leading to subclinical acidosis, which increases the risk of colic, laminitis, weight loss, and behavioral changes.
EquiShure® uses patented encapsulation technology to ensure targeted delivery directly to the hindgut, where it supports lactic-acid-utilizing bacteria and promotes the conversion of lactic acid into beneficial volatile fatty acids (VFA) — a more efficient and natural energy source.
