Cavalor Vitaflor 365
Does Cavalor Vitaflor 365 contain prebiotics or probiotics ?
Cavalor Vitaflor 365 contains prebiotics and yeasts. Living yeasts support lactic acid using bacteria in the large intestine of the horse and may help to tolerate high starch diets. The risk for the incidence of colic may therefore be decreased. Yeasts improve the digestion of crude fibres, the absorption of minerals and the production and absorption of B-vitamins. Thus, a higher yield from the feed may be obtained when yeast are provided especially when fibre rich diets are fed. Prebiotic compounds like inulin are non-digestible feed ingredients that beneficially affect the animal by selectively stimulating the growth and/or activity of positive bacteria in the large intestine. Prebiotic administration helps to prevent upregulating of some bad or "pathogenic" bacteria. This may result in an improved gastrointestinal health and the immunity status of the animal. Inulin is not stored in the body, therefore, a daily application is necessary to maintain the desired effect.
Will Cavalor Vitaflor 365 help my horse put on weight ?
Yes, it will help the efficiency of the horse's digestion. This implies that the horse can render more energy made available especially from fibres rich feedstuffs. When you have not access to good quality roughage, Cavalor Vitaflor will be especially effective. Because the energy utilization (and also the utilization of some other nutrients) is improved, it helps the horse gain weight. Some of our customers who use our products say: "We see our horses grow".
Can I use Cavalor Vitaflor 365 while my horse is on antibiotics ?
Yes, antibiotic supplementation can affect the micro-biotic-life (microflora) in the intestines. There are wanted and unwanted strains of bacteria. Antibiotics may act on both types of bacteria and does not differentiate in it's effect. Supplementing Cavalor Vitaflor when your horse is taking antibiotics may help your horse maintaining a healthy microflora.
CAVALOR VITAFLOR 365® - Premium Line
Living yeasts and prebiotics to enhance the absorption of important nutrients and stimulate "good" bacteria
Indication for use
The intestinal tract ensures the absorption of all the necessary nutrients by the body. Its optimal functioning is therefore essential to health. By optimising the intestinal flora, the maximum yield from the feed is obtained and the body's immunity is strengthened. There are numerous factors, which can disturb the intestinal balance such as stress, specific medications, concentrated feed etc.
The colon is a very important component of the horse's digestion. The horse's natural diet is mainly roughage (grass, hay, straw). Because we put higher demands on our horses, there is a need for concentrated feed in the form of grain mixes (high starch content). The small intestine can often not completely process the digestion of starch, causing a part thereof to be pushed into the colon. There, the starch is converted to lactate. This may lead to acidification of the colon, inhibiting the proper functioning of the microorganisms, which results in a lower digestion of roughage and a reduced absorption of nutrients (especially minerals). This may lead to lowered disease resistance, reduced fitness and/or a colic susceptibility. Vitaflor 365 is a daily requirement to balance the absorption of nutrients, improve good development in young horses and the condition of the sports horse.
Composition of the product
CAVALOR VITAFLOR 365® contains live yeasts and inulin. Live yeast supports bacteria using lactic acid in the colon, preventing acidification (lowering of the PH), ensuring that the microorganisms present work under optimal conditions. This improves the digestion of crude fibre, the absorption of minerals and the production and absorption of B-vitamins. Thus, a higher yield from the feed is obtained and the incidence of colic decreases.
Inulin is a fructooligosaccharide (FOS), which belongs to the family of the prebiotic compounds. These are non-digestible feed ingredients that beneficially affect the animal by selectively stimulating the growth and/ or activity of one or a number of species already present in the colon. As an indirect result, prebiotic administration inhibits some pathogenic bacteria to develop. Since inulin is not stored in the body, a daily application is necessary to "feed" these microbes to ensure their beneficial effect and protection against pathogens.

FAQ
When should I provide Cavalor Vitaflor 365?
Optimal functioning of the micro flora in the large intestine is essential for the overall health of the horse. By using Cavalor Vitaflor 365 an improved feed utilization ( especially of fibre rich rations) and gastro intestinal health will be obtained which helps the overall immunity of the horse.
