Why does acidosis cause laminitis

If you have a horse with laminitis, it is important to seek immediate veterinary treatment. That is, remove the cause of the problem! No supplement replaces the need for good husbandry practices. A gut health supplement can be of benefit to support horses recovering from the stress of laminitis. For hindgut health, GastrAID Recovery contains a prebiotic and probiotic, which work together to stimulate the growth of beneficial, fibre-fermenting microbes and enhance feed conversion efficiency.

GastroAID Everyday is formulated to maintain the health and function of the total digestive tract. Its daily use acknowledges the importance of optimal digestive function for a healthier, happier horse.

While GastroAID Everyday still targets stomach health, it contains significantly less coating agents. GastroAID Everyday is also particularly beneficial for hindgut health due to the combination of a unique, powerful prebiotic and two live yeast probiotics.

Management of feeding and husbandry practices can be implemented to reduce incidence of disease. Abstract Bovine lactic acidosis syndrome is associated with large increases of lactic acid in the rumen, which result from diets that are high in ruminally available carbohydrates, or forage that is low in effective fiber, or both.
