Increase Weight Gain, Decrease Feed Bills, Improve Gut Health

October 14, 2021

What if there was something to help your horse gain weight, and also lower your feed bills?  

Here is a common scenario: you buy a skinny, unthrifty horse. You feed, feed, feed the horse, but you just don’t see any improvement in his or her weight or muscling despite proper nutrition and training. If this sounds familiar, here are some questions for you. How much is your horse absorbing? Is your horse absorbing its feed, or is it just going out its hind end? 

Nutrition? Yes. But, absorption? This is something many horse enthusiasts do not consider. When the horse digests its food, in order for nutrients to be beneficial to the animal, they must absorb them. Seems like a no-brainer. Yet somehow, we forget this part of the equation and often the valuable products we feed our horses do not get utilized by the body. 

Amaferm® can help add those extra pounds and give the “bloom” you’ve been searching for. 

How Amaferm Increases Weight Gain: 

Amaferm, BioZyme®’s research-proven prebiotic, helps your horse gain weight. How does a prebiotic do that? It works in three ways: 

  1. Maintains Good Intake 
  • Amaferm helps keep horses on feed and eating consistently. 
  1. Improves Digestion 
  • Research has shown forage and fiber digestion increases by 17% with Amaferm, which means less colic and better performance. 
  1. Increases Nutrient Absorption 
  • Absorption is the KEY to weight gain. Amaferm works to increase your animal’s nutrient absorption. This means your horse will utilize what you feed it. Many times, we feed our horses, but they may not actually use the nutrients because they do not get absorbed. Research has shown Amaferm increases absorption by up to 30%. 

How Amaferm Decreases Feed Bills: 

You are saying I will save money? Yes, Amaferm will help make your nutritional program work better. And, because your horse will digest and absorb its feed better, many of our customers have reported a decrease in the feed needed to maintain body condition. 

A word from our customers: 

“I feed between one and two bags less of grain every two weeks than I did at this time last year. As a whole we spend a fortune on quality grain for Thoroughbreds, so this to me is a no brainer for every horse since it does not matter how fantastic your grain is, if your horse isn’t utilizing the nutrients properly!”  – Hillary Irwin 

“I started using Vitalize® Alimend® about 3 months ago on my OTTB. He started to really put on weight, which I wasn’t expecting! We cut his grain in half and he hasn’t dropped any weight at all… which is shocking for an OTTB!” – Caroline Kavanagh
