PRO BI is a biological feed additive designed to maximize digestive efficiency.

Why is Pro Bi different? How does it work?

Pro Bi is a prebiotic, not a probiotic. Pro BI is food for microflora and substrate that creates a supreme environment for microflora to colonize and multiply at an accelerated rate.

This is why Pro Bi is so effectice. Benefits are realized rapidly and consistently. Pro Bi consists of 90% Prebiotics (food for digestive microflora) , 5% Probiotics (digests microflora), 5% Enzymes.

Pro Bi doesn't have to be refigerated. Shelf Life is forever.

A horse's beneficial intestinal bacteria can be destroyed or depleted and the pH of their environment can be altered during times of stress. Competion, travel and breeding or treatment with antibiotics, dewormers and other medications can cause this stress. Stress can also be created by alterations of weather, environment, feeds and water.

Without the beneficial intestinal bacteria, food ferments instead of being digested. Undigested foods may then lead to situations of colic, bloat, founder and increase the possibility of developing allergic conditions. PRO BI contains a natural fermented extract plus a number of herbs, such as Ginger, Peppermint, Dandelion and Violet Leaves which nourish the natural bacteria and encourages them to reproduce and multiply at a rapid rate. Most bacteria reproduce every 15 minutes, so it is possible to speed recovery of a colic case or even treat some simple colics entirely with PRO BI.

PRO BI is the benefit of microbials; no waiting, It Just Works! Best of all no worry about shelf life.

Ingredients: Lactobacillus Acidophilus Fermentation Product, Alo Vera, Chlorophyll Liquid, Peppermint, Ginger,
Dandelion and Violet Leaves in a proprietary blend.

Here is a photo last month at the Buck Brannaman Foundation Clinic.

My 3 year old Perch/Paint Kingsley has been battling major diarrhea since before I bought him at 1 1/2 yrs old.
I had a hair analysis taken then put him on a personalized supplement, did several fecal tests he did have small strongyles but got that all taken care of. Changed hay which I found Orchard Grass and Teff Hay especially did not agree with him!
Still major diarrhea for months and months I had used ABC products before but had stopped for some reason before I purchased Kingsley.

I got a hold of Vickie and told her the problem she patiently worked with me and answered all my many questions.

Finally, no more diarrhea and no more gross tail!

I fed 1 scoop MOP in his feed twice a day for 30 days, 2 scoops ABC PLUS twice a day ( double suggested dose), and 5 ml of Probi twice a day with one cup alfalfa pellets.
And FREE CHOICE Rush Creek Mineral.

I know longer force feed the MOP but do keep the MOP and Rush Creek Mineral as free choice at all times.

Now I just feed the 1 scoop alf pellets, 2 scps ABC PLUS twice a day, and the 5 ml Probi twice a day.
Plus pasture while we have it and or grass hay.

Thank you Vickie!

NOTE on more PRO BI uses:

1) For sores (ulcer type) that won't heal, you can apply PRO BI, it will often induce healing.

2) It has shown some success on healing stubborn scratches.

3) For fungus or eye infections; dilute four parts distilled water to one part PRO BI and use as eye drops.

4) Has been used for persistent fungus of the sheath.

I personally keep Probi on hand and use it for colic episodes, after antiobiotics for a few days to a week to
put back the friendly flora killed off by antiobiotics (if you use chemical wormers still you should use it
after that and vaccinations), I use it on my cats and dogs to settle their tummies
and after antiobiotics, clear up vomiting or diarreah. It's like GOLD to me.

Enteroliths or bezoars are stones that form in the intestinal tract of horses. They are made of minerals - primarily magnesium, ammonium and phosphate.

The stones start to form when a foreign object such as a small piece of wood, twine, wire, sand or even a piece of hair becomes wrapped in concentric rings of minerals.

When a horse has an enterolith he has a condition called enterolithiasis. (Say that fast three times!)

The cause of the stone formation is under constant research. At this time it is believed that enterolithiasis is caused by several factors: genetic, environment and diet.

Researchers at UC - Davis have identified three genes that may be associated with enterolithiasis. Records have also shown that Arabians and Arabian crosses are more prone to develop enteroliths, making up 40 percent of the reported California cases. Warmbloods seem to be less prone to stones.

Stall confinement and lack of access to pasture decreases the risk of enterolith development. It is thought exercise improves the mobility of the intestinal tract and grass dilutes the mineral concentration.

Research has also shown enterolithiasis is more prevalent in California and the southeastern part of the United States. Reasons are unclear, although a common factor is the feeding of alfalfa.

Alfalfa hay has always been an element associated with the formation of enteroliths. Alfalfa is high in calcium, magnesium and protein, which can create higher levels of mineral concentration in the large intestine.

Research has also shown a high pH (alkaline) level within the cecum (part of the large intestine) is associated with enterolithiasis. Creating a more acidic environment may be helpful in reducing the formation of enteroliths. Adding a half cup of apple vinegar to the diet twice a day may help lower the pH level in the cecum (1,000 pound horse).

Dietary recommendations for horses with a history of enterolithiasis or that fit the profile include offering no alfalfa, not feeding wheat bran (high in phosphorus), adding apple vinegar to the diet and pasture. Insuring horses have access to fresh clean water at all times also lessens the chances of an enterolith developing.

Colic is the first indicator that your horse might have an enterolith. The symptoms may worsen as the large intestine becomes loaded with gas. Colic symptoms are:

• Refusal to eat grain or hay
• Change in attitude
• Restlessness
• Pulse, respiration rate, or temperature may be slightly elevated
• Glancing back at the sides of the barrel
• Kicking at the stomach
• Pawing or foot stomping
• Yawning
• Standing in a stretched position
• Tail switching
• Stumbling
• Groaning or sighing
• Repeated laying down
• Stretching of the legs while laying
• Attempting to roll

Horses with enterolithiasis may also be sluggish, unwilling to work or exercise, be thin and unthrifty and have occasional loose bowel movements.

Diagnosing enterolithiasis is difficult. The stones are usually discovered when the horse is operated on for colic.
