Fargo, en die snijhaver die er in zit. Is dat alleen het steeltje of ook het haverzaadje? Het is niet de bedoeling dat hij meer energie gaat krijgen.

Snijhaver voor paarden bestaat alleen uit de haverplant en niet de korrel haver. Doordat de korrel er niet in verwerkt is, is het energiearm. Door de haverplant bevat snijhaver veel vezels, wat goed is voor de spijsvertering.

Relevante informatie over probiotica

The goal in feeding a probiotic supplement is to enhance the hindgut's microbial population and reduce the growth of potentially harmful bacteria.

Feed digestion in horses is largely accomplished by microbial fermentation in the hindgut. The cecum and colon provide an environment that promotes the digestion and absorption of nutrients from fibrous products such as hay and beet pulp. Disrupting the microbe balance, due to mismanaged feeding practices or illness, can have detrimental effects on the horse's health. Thus, some horse owners and veterinarians use pre- and probiotics to help keep the microbial balance in check and the horse's digestive tract functioning properly.

Prebiotics are food components that stimulate hindgut microflora activity and growth. The horse does not digest these ingredients; rather, hindgut microbes do. These include carbohydrate fibers such as fructo-oligosaccharides and manno-oligosaccharides. Premium feed products include several prebiotics, including yeast cultures and fungi, to aid in digestion.

Probiotics, or direct-fed microbials, are the bacteria and entercoli typically found in the horse's intestinal lumen. The goal in feeding a probiotic supplement is to enhance the hindgut's microbial population and reduce the growth of potentially harmful bacteria.

Probiotics on the market today include live bacterial cultures and live yeast cultures. Equine probiotics typically include Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium species of bacteria and/or the yeast Saccharomyces boulardii.

To date, there is little scientific evidence to support--or negate--claims of enhanced microbial protection using probiotics. However, improved changes in microbial fermentation and fiber digestibility have been reported both in vitro (in a laboratory setting) and in vivo (in the live horse). Constant probiotic supplementation appears to produce more positive results than sporadic supplementation.

One key to feeding probiotics properly is to ensure the organisms are viable (live) when they reach the hindgut. Dead cultures--such as brewer's yeast or those killed by the heat in grain pelleting or extruding--cannot provide the desired benefits owners seek. If you choose a feed that claims to have included probiotics, ensure the cultures included are live and have not been killed during processing.

Take-Home Message

Hindgut health is key to horses' health and performance. Providing pre- and probiotics to enhance horses' hindgut microflora, along with maintaining a proper nutrition program and a balanced diet, can have positive effects on your horse's health.
