 Consistent testing is especially important for performance horses.

Because symptoms are an unreliable indicator of GI health, practitioners should test horses periodically. Given the ease and affordability of the FBT, testing all horses on a regular schedule is a practical option for early detection. The SUCCEED® FBT may be an important part of a veterinarian’s wellness program.
Consistent testing is especially important for performance horses, or wherever the care, feeding and general husbandry are less than ideal for digestive health, including intermittent feeding, high-grain diets, stall confinement, etc. Because it is possible that GI health may be a root cause of many performance or behavioral problems, horses with such issues may be prime candidates for testing.
The SUCCEED® FBT may also be a valuable resource to aid in monitoring blood loss following colic surgery, or as part of a pre-purchase exam. |
