It has been reported that up to 60% of foals have gastric acid related issues from birth, which can result in foals experiencing side effects such as:

- Teeth grinding
- Salivating
- Crib biting
- Wind sucking
- Inability to hold weight
- Stomach upsets
- Cramps
- Scouring

Feeding Coligone, which maintains natural acid balance within the digestive tract, may assist in such circumstances.

If you're due to wean or would like further information please click here.

Coligone liquid is designed to soothe the digestive tract, balance acid levels and maintain a healthy environment which enables the foal to thrive. Coligone's unique action coats the stomach and provides a buffer-raft, to protect the delicate upper areas of the stomach from excessive gastric acid. Used on a daily basis or when required, Coligone is gentle on the foal's digestive system and yet extremely effective.

EXCELLENT FOR USE WHEN SCOURING OCCURS OR WHEN THE FOAL FAILS TO THRIVE

Periods such as weaning are instances when both mare and foal encounter stress. Feeding Coligone Powder may help to prevent digestive disturbances at this time. The bioavailability of minerals in Coligone Powder, particularly calcium, supports bone development and strength and is also useful for lactating mares to support milk production.

The balance of microflora within the foal's gut can easily be unbalanced by stress, which can result in scouring and invasion by bad bacteria. Prebiotics and Yea sacc are two excellent ingredients which support the hind gut and both are designed to encourage good bacteria to flourish and improve feed (protein) utilisation. (Undesirable bacteria in the foal's digestive tract can lead to it being unable to thrive.)

Research has shown that live yeast supplementation can improve lactation in mares and the broad-spectrum mineral availability in Coligone Powder not only boosts digestive health but also bone strength, hoof and coat condition and general well-being in both mare and foal.
