Cavalor Gastro Aid creates a healthy environment in the stomach with a focus on neutralising stomach acid and protecting the stomach wall. In the equine stomach acid is produced 24/7. As a result, the horse’s stomach is very susceptible to the development of sores and ulcers. The herbs in Cavalor Gastro Aid provide the necessary protection for the stomach wall against excess stomach acid. To provide extra assistance for the stomach, they stimulate the production of saliva and help the stomach wall recover from any ulcers.
When the stomach is empty, the stomach acid irritates the stomach wall and causes sores or ulcers. There are several ways to protect the stomach from this stomach acid. Ideally, the horse has hay available throughout the day, and the hay’s fibres form a protective mat in the stomach that absorbs the acid and gives it no chance of harming the stomach wall. The amount of sugar and starch in each meal must be kept as low as possible because sugar and starch among other things increase acid production. Feed management is an essential aspect in preventing stomach ulcers, but once stomach ulcers have been diagnosed there is a greater chance that they will come back at some point. For this reason, it is recommended that horses susceptible to stomach ulcers receive daily support.
