What are stomach ulcers

Horses produce stomach acid 24 hours a day. Only if they can constantly eat roughage, graze and/or eat enough hay, the stomach acid is usually sufficiently buffered. In some cases when the stomach acid in the stomach is insufficiently buffered, this stomach acid attacks the intestinal wall. This often happens when horses move, walk, jump, are ridden, or are transported. The stomach acid splashes up in the stomach and causes "wounds" on the stomach wall. These are stomach ulcers.

How do stomach ulcers develop in horses?

Stomach ulcers often occur when horses eat too little roughage during transport, during stress, during competitions or in other situations. Some horses have a "natural predisposition" to develop stomach ulcers, just as there are people who are more likely to experience stomach problems.

According to various good sources, on average 50% of recreational horses and up to 90% of sport horses have stomach ulcers. Often not known by the owner / rider, but with a major influence on the behavior and performance of these horses.

Causes of stomach ulcers in horses

Stomach ulcers can be caused by, among other things:

too rich and fresh grass, a lot of sugar stress when using medication to treat injuries and/or diseases. Painkillers and antibiotics can destabilize the stomach, deworming, air sucking, and pain in general. This can be caused by various causes: toothache, dental problems, pain from saddle and harness, ... an empty stomach

Symptoms that may indicate that a horse has stomach ulcers include:

poor/reduced condition poorer performance when riding and at competition stops for jumping obstacles long(er) recovery after exertion lethargy dull coat less appetite weight loss frequent gaping teeth grinding colic, which in many cases regularly recurs regular diarrhea difficult to handle and while riding pain when girding pain, causing horses to bite and bite being sullen when putting on and taking off the blanket, pain when touching the abdomen, depressive behavior, air sucking, crib biting

According to various good sources, on average 30% to 50% of foals and young horses and 60% - 90% of adult sport horses have gastric ulcers. Often not known by the owner / rider, but they do have a major influence on the behavior, condition and performance of these horses.

Operation & Unique features of Ponease

the Ponease products create a film on the intestinal wall. If horses already have stomach ulcers, this will "protect" the stomach acid from stomach acid and allow the stomach ulcers to heal quickly. Already after a few weeks, a noticeable difference can be noticed. If horses do not have stomach ulcers, this protection of the stomach wall will ensure that the ever-present stomach acid does not attack the stomach wall, so that stomach ulcers cannot develop. Preventive use mainly applies to horses on transport to competitions, during competitions, in stressful situations (competition, but can also be when weaning foals) and/or other circumstances in which horses build up stress. There is a suitable product for both situationsULC FIX: to heal stomach ulcersULC MAINTENANCE: to prevent stomach ulcers while driving, stressful situations, during competitions, during transport, to prevent the natural development of stomach ulcers, ...
