Fermentation Process
Cytozyme Laboratories: Fermentation Process
Cytozyme Laboratories, Inc. owns a proprietary, multi-stage process that was developed by their scientists. This technology allows them to control the nutrient content of growth media and to manage the biological activity and population dynamics of microbial cultures used to produce Ration Plus for Horses. Thus, they are able to direct the production of Ration Plus which contains balanced, stabilized, biologically active ingredients.

Ration Plus for Horses is formulated to sustain the beneficial microbes existing in the horse's digestive tract. GRAS approved microorganisms, naturally found in the horse's digestive tract are utilized in Cytozyme's unique multi-stage fermentation process. In each phase of this process the microbes are stimulated into an accelerated growth cycle which maximizes the production of important metabolites. As the process progresses into the next stage, a new strain of microorganisms along with special supplements are introduced and stimulated into another accelerated growth phase initiating one more cycle in the fermentation process. At the end of this cycle the pH is lowered and the microbes are lysed. Therefore, there are no live microorganisms in the remaining finished product. It consists of the variety of metabolites produced during the different cycles to stimulate the growth activity of the microbes. The end result of this process is a highly stable concentrate that when fed to the horse provides a favorable enviroment to sustain the growth and activity of the horse's beneficial digestive microflora.

Modern day management practices of stabling and twice per day feedings, high concentrate diets, travel, breeding and competition, can all jeopardize the health of a horse. The horse's digestive tract is very vulnerable to stress and is one of the main contributors to health problems. The horse's digestive tract can be negatively affected by any one or all of the stressors modern day horses are subject to every day. Ration Plus for Horses provides the digestive enviroment necessary to maintain the important balance of the digestive microflora. The importance of these microorganisms and the balance of their populations cannot be overemphasized.

Their functions are many and complex, but generally include the following:
1. An antagonistic or inhibitory effect on actual or potential pathogenic microbes that cause digestive disturbances.
2. A role in the normal development and actual morphogenisis of the gastronintestinal tract as well as the development of digestive tract cells that are involved with the immune response.
3. The production of digestive enzymes which are essential in the breakdown of ingested foods.
4. The production of the Vitamin B complex, Vitamin C and Vitamin K. All are important coenzymes for normal metabolism of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins essential for normal growth and maintenance of the host animal.

The physiological make-up of the horse is much more fragile than and less forgiving than that in any other domesticated animal. Shifts in digestive microbial populations can be devastating and even fatal. Ration Plus for Horses makes a valuable contribution to the horse industry by encouraging a healthy environment for the establishment of the vital balance of beneficial digestive microorganisms.

In short, Ration Plus will maximize digestive efficiency and reduce the probability of digestive disturbances in horses.
