What is Founderguard?
Founderguard is a granular feed additive designed to prevent feed-induced laminitis in horses and ponies. It is particularly effective for animals on high grain diets, such as gallopers and eventers.
How Does Founderguard Work?
By controlling the build-up of lactic acid in the hindgut, Founderguard prevents damage to the gut lining, reducing the risk of laminitis. It is scientifically formulated to ensure the active ingredient, Virginiamycin, is delivered effectively.
Recommended Usage and Dosage
Administer 5g per 100kg of bodyweight daily. Introduce gradually over 5 days to reach the full dose. For best results, mix with feed or administer alone.
