Horses are intelligent, sensitive animals. This makes them more prone to stress-related issues, such as ulcers. Zesterra is designed to protect the stomach and combat the acid fluctuations that can occur with stress while helping maintain an optimal pH.
A cow's ability to grow and thrive depends on ruminal health. 80% of a cow's immune system is based in the gut, making ruminal health a top priority. It is essential to protect and balance the rumen to create an ideal environment for the flora essential for proper gut function.
Natural Supplements for Cattle & Horses
Using a natural supplement for cows and calves can not only increase their production capacity and weight gain but also increase immunity, protecting them from diseases. Similarly, you can reduce stress and improve the nutritional utilization for performance horses, mares & foals, older horses (hard keepers), and breeding horses by adding an all-natural supplement to your horse's diet.
Natural supplements may be used to improve nutritional quality, boost the immune system and protect animals from ailments like diarrhea, dehydration, stress and ruminal acidosis. Acidosis is a common metabolic condition caused by a rapid reduction in pH levels in the rumen. It's commonly caused by feeding cattle a diet with a high concentration of grains.
Most preconditioners, producers, growers, and dairymen depend of concentrated feed formulated to promote rapid growth and consistent milk quality. While this should yield desired results, a switch from a diet of grass or hay to one that contains a high concentration of carbohydrates can result in a drop in pH due to the rapid digestion of carbohydrates. When pH drops, it can lead to the death of beneficial gut bacteria, allowing the growth of opportunistic bacteria that produce a large amount of lactic acid. This is common among calves, heifers, dairy cows and feedlot cattle.

Common Health Issues for Horses
Some of the most common health issues horses experience include:
Stomach Ulcers
Lack of Water Consumption
Equine Colic
Using Natural Equine Supplements to Reduce Stress
Many of the equine health issues listed above can be dramatically improved by reducing the stress level of the horse. Lower stress levels result in less acid being produced in the horse's stomach, which means there is less chance the horse will develop stomach ulcers, chronic colic, and other health issues. Interestingly, in a catch-22 like scenario, excess acid can create discomfort which increases stress, further promoting the production of acid.
