Product Information

Full details

This guide is for horse owners seeking to improve their animal's digestive health and manage stress. The key benefit is enhanced gut support and a potential calming effect due to nutrient-rich brewer's yeast. A caveat to consider is that individual responses may vary, and it's best used as a supplement rather than a sole treatment. Nourish Brewer's Yeast is a natural supplement derived from Saccharomyces cerevisiae, packed with B-vitamins, amino acids, and minerals to support hindgut microflora, improve fiber digestion, aid the nervous system, and promote relaxation. It is particularly beneficial for horses needing extra gut support or experiencing stress from diet changes, travel, or competition.

FAQs

What is brewer's yeast for horses?

Brewer's yeast for horses is a supplement made from Saccharomyces cerevisiae, rich in B-vitamins, amino acids, and minerals. It acts as a prebiotic to support gut health, improve fiber digestion, and can help manage stress.

How much Nourish Brewer's Yeast should I feed my horse?

The feeding guide recommends 1-2 level 25ml scoops (approx. 16g each) per day for a 500kg horse. Adjust based on weight: Pony (250kg) 1 scoop, Horse (500kg) 1-2 scoops, Large Horse (>750kg) 2-3 scoops.

Can brewer's yeast help with a stressed horse?

Yes, the B-vitamins in brewer's yeast can support the nervous system, potentially helping to promote relaxation and decrease stress responses in horses, especially during challenging times like travel or competition.

How long does a 1.4kg tub last?

A 1.4kg tub provides approximately a two-month supply for a 500kg horse when fed at the recommended rate of 1-2 scoops per day.

Is brewer's yeast safe for all horses?

Brewer's yeast is generally safe for most horses as a supplement. However, it's always best to consult with your veterinarian before introducing any new supplement, especially if your horse has pre-existing health conditions or dietary restrictions.

How should Nourish Brewer's Yeast be stored?

Store the product in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Keep the lid tightly sealed to maintain freshness and prevent moisture.

Can brewer's yeast improve coat condition?

While not its primary function, improved gut health and better nutrient absorption from brewer's yeast can contribute to overall well-being, which may reflect in a healthier, shinier coat.

Troubleshooting

Horse refuses to eat the supplement

Mix the brewer's yeast thoroughly with a small amount of palatable feed (e.g., dampened chaff or a favorite treat). If resistance persists, try gradually increasing the amount over several days or consult with a nutritionist or veterinarian for alternative feeding strategies.

Mild digestive upset (e.g., loose droppings) upon introduction

This can occasionally occur as the gut adjusts. Reduce the dose by half for a few days, then gradually reintroduce the recommended amount. Ensure plenty of fresh water is available.

No noticeable improvement in digestive health or stress levels

Allow at least 2-4 weeks of consistent daily feeding to observe effects. If no improvement is noted, the issue might require veterinary attention, or a different supplement might be more suitable for the horse's specific needs.
