FORTITUDE Critical Care for Foals and Weanlings Experiencing Digestive Stress and Diarrhea

March 16, 2010 Off By Roberta Johnston

Kauffman’s Animal Health, a leader in the equine and animal health industry for over 30 years, has formulated FORTITUDETM Critical Care, a premium digestive supplement, for foals and weanlings experiencing digestive stress and diarrhea. Horses are constantly challenged by a host of pathogenic bacteria that enter the gastrointestinal tract. Foals and weanlings are particularly susceptible to the ill effects of these pathogens. Furthermore, foals and weanlings seem to lack the same digestive capacity of mature horses and may not utilize the feedstuffs they consume as efficiently.

FORTITUDETM Critical Care has been formulated specifically to enhance both aspects of digestive function – increase digestive efficiency and improve protection of the gut against harmful effects of bacterial and viral pathogens.

FORTITUDETM Critical Care provides optimal balance of the microflora of the equine gastrointestinal tract by using the highest quality direct-fed microbials. Active, dry-cell yeast, beneficial bacteria, fructooligosaccharide (FOS), mannanoligosaccharide (MOS) and digestive enzymes have been uniquely combined with our dried egg yolk technology to create a multi-faceted product designed to stabilize the equine digestive tract and provide protection against specific harmful bacterial and viral pathogens that lead to digestive upset.

FORTITUDETM Critical Care is available in an easy-to-use powder. Simply blend the powder with vegetable oil, skim milk or plain yogurt, load oral dose syringe (included in the canister) and administer orally. Likewise, the highly palatable powder can be conveniently top-dressed over daily feed for young horses. In addition to FORTITUDETM Critical Care, Kauffman’s Animal Health also offers a complete line of equine and canine supplements.
