What is OKAPI ColoProtect Forte?
OKAPI ColoProtect forte is a high-quality supplement specifically developed to support the gut environment. With a carefully selected blend of herbs, beta-glucan, and other valuable ingredients, ColoProtect forte helps maintain the natural balance in the digestive system of horses.
ColoProtect forte is designed for horses with a sensitive digestive system that are prone to issues such as diarrhoea or loose stools. It includes herbs such as fennel, which have been traditionally used in folk medicine to soothe the digestive system, for example, in the classic “aniseed-caraway-fennel tea” that is also commonly consumed by people when digestion is off track. Additionally, ColoProtect forte contains components that support the immune system in modulating inflammation and may help aid the regeneration of the intestinal mucosa.
Is OKAPI ColoProtect Forte suitable for my horse?
ColoProtect forte was developed for horses with a sensitive digestive system that are prone to issues such as loose stools or diarrhoea. It can also be administered to horses that are frequently exposed to stress from travelling, competitions, or other stressful situations. In the case of existing digestive problems, it is advisable to plan the feeding in consultation with a qualified therapist or veterinarian.
Can I combine OKAPI ColoProtect Forte with other products?
OKAPI ColoProtect forte can generally be well combined with other feed additives and supplements, but it should be fed with a minimum of two hours’ separation from mineral-based feeds to avoid the binding of minerals by bentonite. It offers supportive effects, particularly for horses with sensitive digestion that react to stress or changes in diet.
It is recommended to combine ColoProtect forte with an equine-appropriate feeding plan to promote the natural gut environment. For optimal results, ColoProtect forte can be used alongside other products such as OKAPI Bitter Herbs or OKAPI Licorice Extract. These products can work synergistically to support the overall digestive health of the horse.
How long should I feed OKAPI ColoProtect Forte ?
OKAPI ColoProtect forte is suitable for long-term use. The exact duration of feeding should be determined in consultation with a qualified therapist.
How is OKAPI ColoProtect Forte fed?
The feeding of OKAPI ColoProtect forte is typically done as a supplement mixed into the horse’s feed.
How do I calculate the correct dosage for my horse?
To calculate the appropriate dosage for OKAPI ColoProtect forte, follow these steps:
Determine your horse’s weight. This can be done by weighing the horse, using a weight tape, or by using apps such as the BCI App from our partner Sanoanimal, available for free on both Google Play and the Apple Store.
The general recommendation for OKAPI products is based on a 600 kg horse. The recommended daily amount is 3-5 ml three times daily (1 scoop = 13 g). For ponies or horses with chronic issues, the dosage should be approximately halved according to their size.
If, for example, your horse weighs 300 kg, the dosage should be adjusted accordingly. The calculation would be:
Daily dose (65 g) ÷ 600 kg × Horse weight (300 kg) = Daily ration (32 g).
This calculation method helps determine the correct amount.
Due to the higher levels of technological additives, this feed should not exceed 1% of the daily ration for horses.
