My tb mare has just finished her course of gastroguard following an ulcer flare up.
She is currently out for about 4 hours per day and stables the rest, she's is turned out overnight come summertime. She is fed ad lib haylage,1kg fast fibre split between am and pm feeds along with un molassed alfalfa alfalfa and a handful of fibre nuggets.
I would like to know if anyone with experience of gastric ulcers feeds a maintenance supplement? She always get a large handful of alfalfa Alfalfa prior to riding and before travelling a syringe of colliglne. A few yard members suggested Brewers yeast, gastric aid or pink powder but would just like to here other people's views who have experienced ulcers rather than others who maybe haven't.
Thanks

Hiya, my boy had terrible ulcers a couple of years ago, was on gastrogard. after he finished the course I did a load of research and decided to try Equine America UlserGard. Two years on, he's (touch wood!) not had another flare up. I also feed Dengie Healthy Tummy which has probiotics in it. Recommend both!

Ditto this, Ulserguard has worked brilliantly for my boy and he's also on healthy tummy.

I've also got my boy on Equine America Uls-gard. I give him 15ml twice a day and he's doing so well I'm too scared to reduce it to the maintenance dose of 15ml a day!
