Biotal GastroGold?

[Bounty]

Anyone used?

It is fairly new and fairly expensive so wondering whether anyone else had had any success with it?
Recommendations for similar products also welcomed!

Thanks!

I tried it when it first came out - I phoned up to ask some questions about it & they very kindly sent me a 3 months sample!

I didn't change on to it in the end for a couple of reasons. Firstly my lad wasn't very keen on the taste of it - he loves peppermints & mint likits but is quite suspicious of most other mint flavourings. Secondly I found that although his cribbing didn't get worse than it is on his normal supplement I was starting to see an increase in edgy, sharp behaviour that's a sign with him that his tummy isn't right.

I gave what I hadn't used to my RI to try on one of her horses & I think she was quite pleased with it as he seemed to put on weight at a time of year when she struggles to keep him looking well.

I use Equine America's U-Gard Plus. It does seem to reduce how much my lad cribs, his droppings are a much better texture, he eats better & he's generally calmer. The downside is he now runs to fat & his hay bill is going to bankrupt me!

Thank you very much!

I am just toying with the idea of using it - my girl cribs, but unfortunately I think it is now just habit rather than a 'need'.
She holds weight well, her droppings are completely normal and I have done everything I can think of to take away triggers (ad-lib forage, no cereals, no sugary treats/mints etc) but I just wanted to have a last shot at reducing her cribbing.
I think it is something I will have to live with though

I wonder if Biotal Equine Gold would work?? Its a yeast so helps with the friendly bacteria in the gut?? Might be worth contacting Biotal and asking the question and maybe even get a sample?
