    Has anyone had the Equibiome test done?

    I didn't say I thought it was nonsense, I said that's the impression that the comments in the lounge gave me of other peoples' opinions. I also didn't say I wasn't going to follow the advice, although have to wait for one of the products to exist first. At this point I'll try anything to help...

    Has anyone had the Equibiome test done?

    Lots of the comments in the lounge question its usefulness as they've seen no difference after using the biome foods. Also comments on the ambiguity of the reports. Mine is the new format and although it's pretty clear it's stripped out the detail you used to get and is contradictory in places...

    Has anyone had the Equibiome test done?

    I think that's exactly the point. They even say that the foods are an alternative to sourcing more variety e.g. #2 is instead of oily herbs. The reality is that for those of us on livery we don't have the option to reseed fields with more variety and may not have access to hedges etc.

    Has anyone had the Equibiome test done?

    My report has arrived. Overall she's pretty close to target for most categories and her gut is classed as stable overall in the new report format. The only things flagged are low biome diversity, very low prevotella (which could be contributing to acidosis, which matches her symptoms) and in...

    Has anyone had the Equibiome test done?

    It's on my list. I've just today started her on Ron Fields, next on list is ReyleneGI as there is a published study backing its ingredients up as a treatment option. Once I have the equibiome results, assuming they show major issues, I'll probably treat one final time with Abler to give her a...

    Has anyone had the Equibiome test done?

    Does it take the full 10 weeks to get results back? Coming up to 7 weeks for me now.

    "But she looks fine!"

    I feel for you. I'm on the road to PTS due to recurrent ulcers that I just can't keep treating as they come straight back. My horse is currently in pain and getting more agressive yet I'm trying another supplement in a probably fruitless attempt to get her comfortable enough to retire. I cry...

    Pure Feed

    I fed Winergy growth for 2 years based on Spillers' nutritionist's advice as it's ulcer friendly. From memory it's a balanced feed comprised mostly of alfa-a in chop and nut form with an oil coating. For my big horse a 20kg bag was meant to last 5 days so you are constantly needing new ones...

    Suspected Hind Gut Issues

    What is the dose for pre-ulc? Can't see anything on the website or factsheet and how is it fed? Can it be added to feed or does it have to be given before like sucralfate?

    Equidry

    Ordered it! The £5 discount code worked too, thanks. Now hoping they don't do a black Friday deal. I also got one for my mum for dog walking.
