TRM Synbiovit
Synbiovit for hindgut health contains a powerful blend of prebiotics, probiotics and b-vitamins formulated to enhance nutrient digestibility, stimulate the growth of helpful bacteria whilst the b-vitamins assist energy production.
This product has been found to be effective through the whole of a horses digestive system including the hind gut which is very important as this plays a very vital part in a horses digestion.
What are....pre and probiotics
Under normal conditions, billions of beneficial bacteria live in the horse’s intestinal tract. They help break down fibrous material and produce fatty acids that provide energy. If nothing interferes with these beneficial bacteria, they do their job and digestion proceeds normally.
Unfortunately, due to domestication of the modern horse and considering how sensitive the equine digestive system is many things can upset the status quo in the intestinal tract, including an abrupt change in feed, stress from training and travel, or a course of antibiotics. When that happens, the good bacteria suddenly die off, releasing endotoxins and other toxic substances into the bloodstream. At the same time, opportunistic bacteria, which are always present, but usually in small numbers, reproduce and increase. Among the byproducts they produce is lactic acid, which can cause gastrointestinal disturbances.
The importance of probiotics has long been known. These live bacteria have proven beneficial for combating issues within the gastrointestinal tract and keeping the digestive system in a happy place. They also play an important role in strengthening the immune system of the horse.
Probiotics are live microorganisms that live inside the gastrointestinal system of your horse. They aid in digestion by essentially cleaning out the gut so that things keep flowing. Like all living things, probiotics need to be fed in order to remain active and healthy, and to benefit your horse as much as possible. This is where Prebiotics come into play. Prebiotics act as food for probiotics. In other words, probiotics eat prebiotics. Prebiotics are the preferred food source for beneficial bacteria, and are given to the horse to stimulate continual growth of these beneficial bacteria. Feeding prebiotic and probiotic supplements will assist to maintain the population of good bacteria in the gut.
What is a Synbiotic?
Synbiotics refer to supplements combining probiotics and prebiotics in a form of synergism, hence synbiotics.

Potential benefit of adding SynBioVit to your horses’ daily feeding regime
- Improved gut health.
- Improved digestion.
- Aid in feed efficiency through improved nutrient absorption.
- Reduce risk of digestive upsets.
- Reduce stress impact during competition, stressful events or diet changes.
- Improve gut health when your horse has recently been treated with antibiotics.
- Can be of benefit to horses that don’t hold weight.
- Help improve the balance of normal bacteria in the intestine.
- Promote regularity in bowl movement.
When to Use SynBioVit
- Ideal for horses that travel alot or under stress due to training/competition.
- Horses that have received a course of antibiotic treatment.
- SynBioVit can also be used after anthelmintic administration.
- Foals who are exhibiting signs of digestive upset.
- Horses that have difficulty maintaining weight.
- Horses suffering from diarrhea.
- Feed to older horses with insufficient dental function, preventing adequate utilisation of food.
- Feed to high-end performance horses to facilitate overall good health and an optimal functioning gastrointestinal tract.
- Promote optimal feed utilisation.
A healthy gastrointestinal tract reduces gas, improves digestion and absorption of nutrients, benefits the immune system and leaves less room for colonisation by pathogenic bacteria.
- During times of stress: travelling, competing, illness
- After antibiotic treatment, when hindgut bacterial populations have been diminished
- Poor gut health: horses with diarrhoea, or parasitic infection
- Young horses with incomplete bacterial populations
