Gut health is increasingly synonymous with animal health. Kemin's Gut Health Solutions encompass many health priorities, such as nutrient digestion and absorption, gut integrity, immune response and more. Proper gut health leads to the absence, prevention and avoidance of disease – such as Leaky Gut Syndrome (LGS).
Leaky Gut Syndrome occurs when the lining of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract is compromised, allowing harmful pathogens or toxins to cross the intestinal barrier and be absorbed into the bloodstream. A "leak" into the bloodstream will cause intestinal inflammation, resulting in various systemic problems for your horse. These leaks often start slowly, but with time can result in a wide variety of health and performance issues you see every day in your horse:
Common environmental and situational stressors – ranging from pathogens and parasites to hay changes and trailering – can all lead to LGS. Stress can result in damage to the tight junctions of the intestinal lining that are an important barrier between toxic intestinal contents and the bloodstream.
GI issues are the second-leading cause of death in horses
The best way to prevent LGS or help to heal a leaky gut is through good nutrition and attention to gut health. Feeding nutrients that support gut health will help mitigate the everyday "slow leak" and improve your horse's health and wellbeing.
Kemin has been a proactive leader within the gut health industry. But using decades of scientific research, thorough testing and customer feedback, Kemin created a product platform to help equine owners fight gut health battles.
