KA-HI Pro Paste
Supplemental Gastro-Intestinal Bacteria and Digestive Enzymes for Oral Equine Use.
.Kauffman's KA-HI Pro Paste
This paste provides a convenient, positive dose probiotic supplement designed to enhance the natural bacteria and enzymes present in the equine digestive tract. It will provide added essential gastrointestinal microorganisms (microflora) during times of feed changes, stress, exercise, training, and after de-worming and antibiotic treatment regimens.
Stress and your Horse: Horses undergo stressful situations virtually everyday-weather or ration changes, de-worming, antibiotic treatment, heavy training and/or competition, or transportation. These stressful situations can compromise the digestive capabilities of your horse. KA-HI Pro Paste provides insurance against digestive deficiency of beneficial microorganisms critical for efficient digestion.
Specially Selected Bacteria:
A product with a single species of bacteria does not fit every situation! The digestive tract of a monogastric horse is significantly different from that of a ruminant (i.e. - dairy and beef cattle), so don't be fooled into using a paste claiming to be formulated to fit all species. KA-HI Pro Paste probiotic formulation starts with host-specific bacteria strains specially selected for their compatibility with the equine digestive tract. These bacteria are then micro-encapsulated to preserve their viabilty during storage and to enhance their effectiveness. This same micro-encapsulation breaks down when exposed to the gastric juices and then releases the bacteria at the point of action - the intestinal tract! In addition to their fermenting/digestive action these bacteria have a competitive advantage over disease-causing pathogenic bacteria, which helps inoculate the digestive tract with "good" bacteria.
Digestive Enzymes:
KA-HI Pro Paste contains a specific combination of digestive enzymes that work synergistically with the inherent bacteria and naturally occurring enzymes of the equine digestive tract. Enzymes are the catalysts responsible for the breakdown of feed stuffs. Feed stuffs that may normally pass through the digestive tract are subjected to the hydrolyzing effects of these supplemental enzymes releasing otherwise unusable amino acids, energy, and essential nutrients found naturally in the feed.
Convenient, Positive Dosing:
With KA-HI Pro Paste there is no guesswork. Simply administer a 15- or 30-gram dose orally on the back of your horse's tongue and be assured that your horse is receiving the full dose of probiotics that you intended!
