Stomach set – Hippodigest plus & crackers for horses

Why these two together

Not because two works better than one. The cracker is the everyday form, not the stronger one – that is what its product page says and it holds true here. The two cover different situations: the liquid version is the daily basis at the feed bowl. The cracker steps in where that does not work – at a competition, in the trailer, in a box at an unfamiliar yard, or with the horse that simply leaves liquids standing in the bowl. If you keep both in the cupboard, you do not have to reorder when the situation changes.

Feeding at a glance

• Hippodigest® plus: 60 ml for the first 7 days, then 30 ml daily. At 30 ml, 1 litre lasts around 33 days
• Hippodigest® crackers: 2 crackers of 15 g daily for a 600 kg horse, ponies 1.5. The pack of 42 crackers lasts 21 days

This is meant as a switch according to the situation, not as a double daily dose. Fed one after the other, the two packs together last around 54 days.

A good fit if your horse …

• has a sensitive stomach and you are feeding continuously anyway
• regularly goes to competitions, travels or stays at unfamiliar yards
• leaves liquid supplements standing in the bowl but eats from the hand
• is at a livery yard where feeding has to be quick and clean

Not the right set if …

you only need one of the two forms – then the individual product is cheaper. And not if gastric ulcers are suspected, signs of colic appear or symptoms keep returning. That belongs in the hands of a vet. Both products are complementary feed, not medicinal products – they replace neither diagnosis nor treatment.
