Question: “Are there any natural things you can do preventatively to ‘prevent’ stomach ulcers? Obviously besides good management AND unlimited hay.”
➡A good gastrointestinal flora is incredibly important, anyway for overall resistance, but to prevent stomach problems all the way. Stomach problems are often caused by stress. If a horse has an intestinal problem and therefore pain in his stomach, stomach problems often arise as well.
Furthermore, good management is very important, but very different for each horse. A horse can be outside 24 hours a day with access to roughage, but if there is unrest in the herd, for example, this can be a trigger for stress and thus stomach problems.
So there is no ready answer, except to know your horse and his/her situation well and respond accordingly. For example, stress sensitive horses can benefit from an extra Magnesium supplement.
The sound files of Information Medicine are very versatile and can also be used preventively.

Question: “How can you tackle internal parasites when stool examination indicates that treatment is needed?”
➡ Targeted regular treatment is then certainly advisable. In addition, Phytonics Micro comp, for example, can be used for additional support.
