Trophogast Pellet is a complementary food in pellet format designed to support the gastrointestinal well-being of animals, in particular horses and ponies subjected to particular digestive needs. This product is formulated to act on the balance of the intestinal flora and help in the management of physiological digestive functions, responding to the needs of sporting animals, in the recovery phase or subjected to management and nutritional stress. The pellet is of optimal size to ensure ease of intake both individually and in groups, and its composition favors a homogeneous distribution of the natural active ingredients contained. It is particularly suitable for diets at risk of digestive imbalances and during changes in diet.
The constant use of Trophogast Pellet contributes to the health of the gastric and intestinal mucosa thanks to the presence of specific ingredients that work in synergy to promote the regularity of intestinal transit and limit the onset of digestive discomfort linked to dysbiosis or excess gastric acidity. The formulation is also ideal as a support in the event of changes in nutrition, moments of transport stress or intense sporting activity, conditions which can often alter the delicate gastrointestinal balance of equids. The practical 5 kg format allows longer-lasting and economical administration as part of animal prevention and welfare programmes.
Therapeutic Indications
Trophogast Pellet is recommended as supplementary support in risk conditions for the equine digestive system, such as diet changes, intense periods of sporting activity, convalescence from gastrointestinal pathologies or surgical interventions and chronic stress situations. The product helps to keep the stomach mucosa intact thanks to the synergistic action of protective and soothing components, thus reducing the likelihood of the onset of gastric ulcers, colic and diarrheal phenomena. It is particularly useful in reducing the negative effects of stress on the stomach and intestines, supporting a balanced bacterial flora, also useful in the case of antibiotic therapies that can alter the intestinal microbiota.
The regular use of Trophogast Pellet also shows benefits in subjects in the recovery phase, favoring the restoration of normal digestive functions by offering support during situations with a high risk of irritation or lesions of the mucosa. In foals, it can be of assistance in the weaning phase, a critical period in which digestive disorders arise more easily. It is also suitable for elderly animals whose digestive efficiency tends to decrease over time. It stands out in the management of sports horses, where events such as competitions, prolonged transport and changes in housing can increase susceptibility to gastric and intestinal disorders. Supplementation also facilitates the recovery of appetite in debilitated subjects or those who are not inclined to eat solid foods.
Composition
The composition of Trophogast Pellet is carefully studied to provide active ingredients of natural origin selected for their effectiveness on the gastrointestinal tract. The main ingredients include high quality fiber obtained from plant sources, which promotes regular intestinal transit and acts as a substrate for the development of a balanced intestinal flora. The product is enriched with specific plant extracts known for their protective, soothing and modulating action on the gastric and intestinal mucosa.
Among the functional substances there are often medicinal plants such as chamomile, licorice or althea, which have an emollient action and help calm any irritation of the mucosa. Plant-based prebiotics stimulate the growth of beneficial flora, while sources of natural antioxidants protect cell membranes from oxidative stress often associated with dietary imbalances. The presence of balanced mineral salts helps maintain a correct hydro-electrolyte balance. The absence of GMOs, dyes and chemical additives makes the product suitable even for the most sensitive animals and for those looking for a natural and safe supplement.
Contraindications
Trophogast Pellet is generally well tolerated by horses and ponies, but use is not recommended in case of known hypersensitivity to any of the ingredients listed on the label. Do not use in case of serious digestive pathologies in the acute phase without prior consultation with your veterinary doctor. It is advisable to evaluate concomitant administration with other supplements or therapies that may interact with the phytotherapeutic components present, especially in animals subjected to prolonged pharmacological treatments. Not recommended in animals suffering from specific metabolic pathologies that imply a restriction of the intake of certain types of fibers or particular plant ingredients. Depending on the specific conditions of the animal, the dose and appropriateness of use must be evaluated by the veterinarian.
Do not administer to animals other than those for which the product is intended. If in doubt about the ingredients or suspicious symptoms after administration, discontinue use and consult your veterinarian. Despite the natural composition, taking the product in quantities greater than those recommended could cause unwanted effects such as meteorism or slight digestive disorders, which tend to resolve by suspending administration or reducing the dosage.
Safety of the drug for the species
The use of Trophogast Pellets in equines is considered safe thanks to the careful selection of ingredients belonging to the complementary food category. Tolerability studies have highlighted a high safety profile on horses of different ages and physical conditions, without finding any significant side effects when used according to the manufacturer's instructions. The specificity of the composition, which excludes pharmacologically active or doping substances, allows its use in sport horses without the risk of testing positive for anti-doping tests, making it a reliable option even during athletic and competitive training.
Sources of fiber and natural active ingredients are gradually assimilated, reducing any risk of irritation or acute side effects. Correct use also contributes to the prevention of pathological conditions associated with nutritional deficiencies or management errors common in the management of modern sports equines. No cumulative damage or systemic toxicity is reported with prolonged use at recommended dosages, while the positive effects on the digestive system appear after just a few weeks of regular administration, improving the general state of health and performance of the treated animals.
Precautions
It is advisable to administer Trophogast Pellet under the supervision of a professional in order to adjust the dose in relation to the weight, age, physiological state and specific clinical conditions of the animal. Possible individual sensitivity to some ingredients, although rare, requires monitoring in the early stages of administration. If any suspicious symptoms appear, discontinue use and promptly consult a veterinarian. Avoid the simultaneous use of other supplements containing ingredients with similar action so as not to overload the digestive system.
Keep out of reach of children and animals other than those for which the product is intended. Store in a cool, dry place, away from heat sources and direct light, to preserve the integrity of the active ingredients. Do not exceed the recommended doses to reduce the risk of side effects such as mild digestive disorders. The safety of the product in pregnancies has not been fully investigated; in these cases consult your veterinarian before administration. Wash your hands after handling the pellets to avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes. Do not use in case of damaged packaging or given the presence of organoleptic changes in the product.
Method of administration
Trophogast Pellet must be supplied daily mixed with the usual ration. The amount to be administered may vary based on body weight, activity, state of health and veterinary recommendations. The pellet format guarantees homogeneous intake even in groups of animals or for subjects not inclined to consume powders or liquids. It is possible to divide the daily dose into one or more administrations depending on the animal's needs and eating habits.
In the case of adult horses, the standard dose can be increased or reduced following professional advice. The product can also be administered following periods of fasting or on an empty stomach, thanks to the good tolerability of its components. It can be associated with periodic prevention and wellness campaigns, using it cyclically according to seasonal or management needs. Make sure your animals always have fresh, clean water available.
Treatment program
The duration and frequency of administration of Trophogast Pellets must be planned based on the specific conditions of the animal and the welfare objectives pursued. In periods of change in diet or increased stress, a continuous cycle of 20-30 days may be recommended. In subjects at high risk of gastrointestinal imbalances, such as sports horses, elderly or convalescent animals, administration can be continued for longer periods, monitoring the results and adjusting the dosage if necessary.
In weaning foals, constant use during the transition from liquid to solid feeding helps prevent digestive disorders. The product can be used preventively in horses undergoing long journeys or national and international competitions. In cases of known digestive pathologies, the veterinarian will establish the optimal duration of treatment based on the clinical conditions, evaluating the individual response to supplementation.
Target species
Trophogast Pellet is indicated exclusively for horses and ponies. The composition and dosage are studied on the specific nutritional and physiological needs of equids, therefore use on different species is not recommended unless under strict veterinary supervision. The complementary food is suitable for all age categories, from foals to elderly animals, and can be used both in sports and in the daily maintenance of the animal's well-being in the stable or on pasture.
