EQI® Gastiv is a special combination of red algae and live yeast to support a healthy gastrointestinal tract. The red algae in EQI® Gastiv helps buffer stomach acid and protect the gastric wall, whereas the live yeast in EQI® Gastiv aids digestion and promotes the growth of lactic acid bacteria. Keep the balance—harness the power of EQI® Gastiv!
Our effective range of feed additives and dietary feed supplements are specifically selected and developed to support animal health and productivity. Their modes of action add value and benefit.
Neutralizing gastric acid helps to reduce adverse effects such as mucosal damage, gastric ulcers, and general discomfort.
Probiotic-produced digestive enzymes such as proteases, carbohydrases, and lipases improve feed breakdown which enhances nutrient availability, nutrient absorption, and feed efficiency.
Due to probiotic-driven substances like cyclic peptides or organic acids that directly reduce or prevent growth of harmful bacteria by disrupting membranes or cellular processes.

The horse’s digestive tract is a sensitive organ that reacts to changes in diet composition, feeding and exercise patterns, such as stress. Factors that deviate from natural grazing patterns or that induce increased acid production—such as prolonged breaks in feeding, stress, and high-energy diets—can cause gastrointestinal problems, such as equine gastric ulcer syndrome, leading to impaired performance and low weight gain rates.
Maintaining a horse’s health requires careful attention to its delicate and complex digestive system. EQI® Gastiv, a uniquely formulated feed supplement, provides a comprehensive solution to support your horse’s digestive health.
Wild horses have a lifestyle that is very different from that of their modern, domesticated counterparts, and the design of a horse’s gastrointestinal tract reflects its natural lifestyle and feeding patterns. A horse has a small stomach that constantly secretes acid. It is designed to accommodate a small and continuous flow of high fiber material.
However, modern horses are fed very differently. Modern horses consume 2-3 meals a day of hay and high energy feeds to meet the energy needs of performance horses, broodmares, and growing horses. As a result, a horse’s stomach is empty for long periods of time and gastric acid builds up, damaging the stomach wall and leading to the development of gastric ulcers. This problem is worsened by increased stress often caused by participation in competitions and other external environmental factors.
EQI® Gastiv, which contains red algae and live yeast, is an effective countermeasure. The red algae, rich in calcium and magnesium, have a strong buffering capacity to neutralize stomach pH and protect the stomach wall. Live yeast promotes digestion in the colon by encouraging the growth of lactic acid-consuming and fiber-degrading bacteria resulting in better nutrient digestibility.
EQI® Gastiv stabilizes the intestinal microbiota and reduces the risk of improper digestion. Harness the power of EQI® Gastiv today to effectively nourish your horse and restore the digestive balance essential for optimal health and performance.
