Based on the findings of Dr Sarah Ralston-assoc professor Rutgers University USA Foal nutrition does not begin from the day the foal is born, but rather from the day the foal is conceived.

Once the foal is born, it draws ALL its nutritional needs from the mare
Necessary Probiotics
The word 'Probiotics' means 'for life' and has been used for centuries as a natural health promoter, which exerts health effects beyond inherent basic nutrition. Vast research has been conducted, where Probiotics has emerged as a valuable tool in both human and veterinary medicine, used rather as a preventative medicine than as a disease therapy.

Why are our animals itching so much?
Could it be due to the large amounts of preservatives & colourants (required by SA Dept of Agriculture law) in ALL animal feeds? – Imported brands also have to conform to our Laws.

Probiotics: The Benefits of Yoghurt: Dr Alan Greene
In school, my daughter is studying the diversity of ecosystems from the Great Barrier coral reef near Australia to the equatorial rainforests of the Amazon River basin. Her eyes widened when I described to her the amazingly complex ecosystem hidden in the dark recesses of our intestines. As many as 500 different species of bacteria form a society there, in a delicate balance with each other and with their 'earth' - us. We are outnumbered

Are We Being Ripped Off?
3 Years ago we launched and started to manufacture our own range of animal supplements. We hired an ISO 9000 animal pharmaceutical company to do our manufacturing, to ensure that our formulas were sourced, mixed and packaged exactly, to our strict requirements.
