There's quite a few probiotics availible but I don't know enough about them to make an informed decision.
My young ISH has always been barefoot and as a result I'm pretty clued up on supplements and feeding. He is currently on ProHoof.
However he is one of those damn 'metabolic' horses who is overly sensitive to everything diet related and, despite doing everything 'correctly', is still footy on stones at a faster pace.
A probiotics has been suggested to see if that helps reduce his 'metabolic-ness' but I don't know much about them. I know what to look for in decent feed and good supplements, but not probiotics.
Advice please? I don't mind spending money BUT not wasting a fortune.
So far I'm looking at Protexin, Equimins Pro Bio and Feedmark BioPro. The price varies considerably. If the most expensive is also vastly superior, that's fine but I'm not willing to spend double the price on something a 'little better'.
