Clay Cannon, D.V.M. and Associated Regional and
University Pathologists, Inc. of Salt Lake City tested the effect of
Ration Plus™
on equine digestive microbial populations. Four
healthy horses were fed quality alfalfa hay and oats for 20 days to
establish a baseline, then supplemented with 4cc/day of Ration
Plus™ for
30 days.
Analysis of fecal samples revealed the following
results:
1. The total number of bacteria per gram of feces increased with Ration
Plus™ supplementation
from 105 to 106.
2. More beneficial species were recovered in treated horses.
3. Streptococci were found less often and in smaller numbers.
