Pavo GastriCover 5kg

Pavo GastriCover can promote regeneration of gastric mucosa in the stomach wall. The long-lasting buffering effect on stomach acid and the pre- and probiotics in
this supplement support an overall healthy digestion.


The horse's digestive tract is very complex and its stomach very sensitive. In
some cases it might be necessary to support the stomach a little bit more. Pavo
GastriCover offers great stomach-support as it can promote regeneration of
gastric mucosa (stomach wall) and helps to neutralize the effect of the highly
sour stomach acid.

Neutralisation of stomach acid
Stomach acid is essential for digestion, but too much or too sour stomach acid
can have a negative effect on the stomach wall of your horse. Maerl (calcified
seaweed) is the main active ingredient of Pavo GastriCover, that not only
buffers the stomach acid but also has an anti-inflammatory effect.

Buffering of stomach acid is desired as it can help to create a healthy pH value
in the stomach, necessary for good digestion and a healthy stomach wall.
Moreover, the major benefit of maerl is the long-lasting effect. Many other
buffering ingredients have a short but strong effect. In contrast, Maerl has a
long lasting and gradual effect, meaning that the stomach acid is buffered for a
longer period of time and in steady amounts. Stomach acid can be harmful for the
stomach but is also indispensable for digestion. However, too much buffering of
stomach acid will decrease digestion in the end.

Tasteful prebiotics to support stomach and gut
Apple pulp and dried desugared beet pulp are 100% natural ingredients with a
very high content of pectin. These pectins have a double positive effect on your
horse’s digestion. They build a protective gel-like layer on the stomach wall,
which has a protective function against the stomach acid. As well as that, they
also have a prebiotic effect as they support growth of good bacteria in the gut.

Probiotic: digestibility enhancer & stabilization of gut microflora
A good level of good bacteria supports good digestion and intestinal health. The
certified Biosprint® live yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) improves
digestibility in your horse. The fibre fractions especially are better digested
as a result of improved hind gut fermentation. The probiotic live yeast in Pavo
GastriCover supports good intestinal health, fermentation and a better
utilization of lactic acid. In short, it enhances the digestibility and
stabilizes the gut microflora.

##(Feeding) management is key Pavo GastriCover can definitely support a healthy
gastric function, but proper feeding management is the basis for success.
Therefore, it’s important to take a look at the current management of your horse
and check if you tick all the boxes.
