More about this product

Cavalor Gastro Aid creates a healthy environment in the stomach by neutralising gastric acid and protecting the stomach wall. A horse's stomach produces acid continuously, making it very susceptible to developing wounds or sores. The herbs in Cavalor Gastro Aid help to protect the stomach wall against excess acid. They provide extra support for the stomach by stimulating saliva production and promoting the healing of ulcers.

Cavalor Gastro Aid contains herbs and yeast cultures that protect the stomach wall and help to neutralise stomach acid, keeping it from attacking the stomach wall. Cavalor Gastro Aid also speeds up the healing process when damage to the stomach wall has already occurred.

Once the horse has recovered and is eating better, you can switch from the paste to the powder or liquid version. The liquid and powder versions can also be used as daily preventive measures for horses prone to stomach ulcers. Unlike omeprazole, it does not shut down stomach acid production, but works to protect the stomach from acid damage.

Recommended use of Gastro Aid: Mix 30 g into feed daily for at least 4–6 weeks. 1 measuring scoop = 10 g.

Maximum 100 g per day

Did you know?

A horse's stomach is constantly producing acid. When the stomach is empty, this acid will irritate the stomach wall, causing sores or ulcers. There are several ways to protect the stomach from the effects of excess acid.

Ideally, the horse should have hay available ad libitum, as the fibre in hay creates a protective fibrous coating in the stomach which absorbs acid and prevents it from attacking the stomach lining.

In addition, the horse's feed should be low in sugar and starch. Sugar and starch increase acid production.

Feed management is essential to preventing stomach ulcers, but once ulcers are diagnosed, they are more likely to recur. It is therefore recommended that horses prone to stomach ulcers receive daily support.

What our fans think about our products:

They look and feel their best

The horses need proper nutrition to build muscle and look and feel their best. Strucomix Senior is palatable for my older horses and the Fiberforce is great for my easy keepers. It keeps them trim but provides them with all their nutritional requirements!

Individual nutrition needs

Endurix has made the biggest change in my horse, it has put on the lean muscle that I was trying for. My horses are able to meet their individual nutrition needs with Cavalor, which in turn allows me to make them the best athletes they can be.

Opening the feed is a treat!

Strucomix Senior is so palatable and smells so good I want to eat it! It is a treat just to open the bags in the feed room.

Leslie Terry

A healthy GI system

We feed a lot of Fiberforce as I have lots of ponies and warmbloods all of which travel and compete - the Fiberforce ensures a healthy GI system without added sugars so I can safely feed it to my tiniest ponies and oldest members of the herd.

A satisfying meal

I love Cavalor Silhouette because it allowed my chunky horse to eat more than a handful of pellets, maintain muscle, and still get the required nutrients at a low feeding rate. I chose it for my OTTB to give him a different and more natural feed.

Sarah McClaflin

Highly recommended!

Cavalor NutriPlus is the perfect vitamin mix. My two horses and two ponies only get roughage and this vitamin mix. They like the fruity smell and taste and always lick their bowls clean. It’s highly beneficial for the horses and for the owners that these vitamins can be fed in pellet form.

The solution for sensitive guts

I’d like to congratulate you on your Fiberforce feed. My horse was very ill and had lost a lot of weight. He’s also very prone to stomach ulcers, so I was looking for an easily digestible feed. I’ve been feeding my horse Cavalor Fiberforce for about a month now and it’s really helped him!

Mieke

No more problems or sweet itch

After trying different feeds, I’ve finally found the right one for my Shetland mare, Annie. I was really worried about her last year, but after changing her management (grazing muzzle and a handful of Fiberforce per day), she’s like a completely different pony!

Charlotte De Beule

It’s perfect for a laid-back leisure horse!

My horse has always been a bit lazy more power would be nice. Before I started giving her Cavalor Perfomix, I had to use a lot of leg but I still didn’t manage to get her going forwards. I noticed a big difference even after just a few days and half a scoop of the feed.

Charlotte De Beule

A mane to be proud of!

My Friesian's mane is 160 cm long. I care for it with Star Shine to let my superstar shine at every competition, where I always hear lots of “oh’s” and “wow’s” from the spectators.

The ultimate cool-down

I’ve recently been treating my pony with Cavalor Muscle Cooler following intensive training. There’s no doubt that his muscles are less stiff than they used to be after a hard training session. Hot tendons and muscles return to normal body temperature much faster after using the Muscle Cooler.

Marlotte Kaldenberg

The results are incredible!

I was looking for a feed for my 17-year-old mare who needs a low-sugar diet, as she is unable to metabolise the high sugar content of other horse feeds. That’s how I came upon Cavalor Fiberforce. My horse loves this mix and hasn’t had any excess muscle acidity since I started feeding it!

Natascha Rogmans

It’s a great feed

Cavalor Tradition Apple really is a brilliant feed! My pony is always good and waits until I give her some. She is generally greedy and she especially likes the apple pieces. The feed has improved her appearance and her coat has a wonderful shine.

Suzanne Willemsen

The long mane is back

My horse was really itchy and had rubbed away most of his mane. Since I’ve been using Cavalor SwItch - you can see the beautiful, long mane for yourselves. A fantastic product!

Jana Verschoren

My shining star

My horse Skipje is now getting the Western Mix from Cavalor and he’s doing really well on it. He looks much fitter and healthier. It’s a very promising start. With Cavalor Star Shine, I can get him shining like a star even after an afternoon in the field! And Cavalor Dry Feet stops him from getting thrush if he does stand in the mud!
