Rapid fetal growth demands more protein, but reduces space for normal fill
01/06/05 - OMAHA, NE -- Revolution-Rx Equine Prescription Diet introduced by Biovance Life Sciences, Inc., of Omaha, offers a new way to nutritionally manage the pregnant mare. According to the company, the product offers "a proven way to ensure optimum nutrition for digestive health, fetal growth, and the reduction of digestive related problems."
Revolution-Rx contains ReStore, the patented equine supplement that enhances digestive efficiency and helps maintain gastric motility -- both important in the prevention of common dietary distress syndromes (DDS) in horses.
Late gestation has a double impact on the mares nutritional and digestive health. The exponential growth of the fetus greatly increases the demand for protein and energy. At the same time, the rapid increase in the size of the fetus and associated tissues reduces the space available for normal fill and motility in the gastro-intestinal tract.
To compound the problem, current husbandry practices use concentrates high in small grains. This results in a high carbohydrate load and a high glycemic index that often upsets an already distressed digestive system and triggers a variety of dietary distress syndromes (DDS).
Biovance reports the low carbohydrate, calorically-dense composition Revolution-Rx gives the product a low glycemic index of less than 50. This reduces the carbohydrate load on the digestive system, stabilizes intestinal pH and promotes optimum large bowel fermentation.
In addition, the special blend of enzymes and specific amino acids and protein in the Revolution-Rx / ReStore combination enhances the normal fermentation process in the horse. Together, this unique combination safely increases production of volatile fatty acids, microbial proteins, and digestive efficiency---increasing the digestible energy and protein in the diet.
This combination of a stabilizing effect on the gastro-intestinal tract, and an increase in digestible energy and protein is especially beneficial to mares in late gestation and lactation.
