Gastrix 3,78 L HORSE MASTER — Nutritional support for gastric ulcers in horses

Gastrix Horse Master 3,78 L: a solution suited to horses prone to gastric ulcers

Gastrix Horse Master is a liquid nutritional supplement designed to support the gastric mucosa of horses prone to gastric ulcers or digestive imbalances linked to stress, training, or concentrated feed.

In horses, the stomach secretes acid continuously. This physiological feature explains the frequency of gastric sensitivities, particularly in horses:

• in sport activity
• living in a stall
• transported regularly
• fed rations rich in cereals

In these situations, supporting the gastric mucosa helps limit digestive irritation and preserve feeding comfort.

The 3,78 L format is particularly suited to extended courses of use or to establishments housing several horses.

Why are gastric ulcers common in horses?

Gastric ulcers are now one of the most widespread digestive disorders in sport equine medicine.

A digestive physiology specific to horses

Horses produce gastric acid continuously, even in the absence of feed. When the stomach remains empty for too long or during intense physical effort, this acidity can weaken the gastric mucosa.

Several factors increase the risk:

• intensive training
• rations rich in concentrates
• periods of transport
• environmental stress
• prolonged confinement

In these situations, appropriate nutritional support helps protect the gastric wall.

How does Gastrix act on gastric ulcers in horses?

Gastrix acts by supporting the natural protective mechanisms of the horse's gastric mucosa through a combination of ingredients selected for their digestive action.

Its use helps to:

• protect the gastric wall
• limit irritation linked to acidity
• support digestive balance
• improve feeding comfort

This supplement fits into a comprehensive approach to managing gastric ulcers combining dietary adaptation and veterinary follow-up.

A 3,78 L format ideal for long courses or stables

The 3,78 L packaging is particularly beneficial when gastric supplementation needs to be maintained over several weeks.

It is especially suited to:

• chronically sensitive horses
• competition horses
• riding centers
• owners' stables
• seasonal digestive programs

This format ensures continuity of supplementation without interruption, an essential element in managing equine gastric sensitivities.

When to use Gastrix for a horse prone to gastric ulcers?

Gastrix can be used in many situations that promote digestive imbalances.

During periods of intensive training

Exercise increases abdominal pressure and promotes acid splashing in the stomach. This situation can weaken the gastric mucosa.

During frequent transport

Travel represents a significant digestive stress factor in horses.

During dietary changes

A change in ration can disrupt gastric balance and require nutritional support.

A liquid solution easy to incorporate into the daily ration

The liquid form of Gastrix makes it easy to administer within the ration or directly with a dosing syringe.

This form allows:

• good acceptance
• simple dose adjustment
