3 FERMAID EASE for foals health
Foals are very sensitive to gastric ulcers, which can be fatal. Again there are many factors that contribute
to gastric ulcers in foals including physiological stress, underlying diseases, transport, weaning, or
generalised reduction in milk or feed consumption. There are also many non specifi c symptoms of
gastric ulceration in foals, including: teeth grinding (bruxism), increased salivation, diarrhoea, poor or
infrequent feeding or failure to thrive.
FERMAID EASE can be fed to foals during periods where they are at risk from gastric ulcers.
Recommended inclusion rate
25 g/horse/day. This can be doubled at times of high stress for a period of 30 days or in combination with veterinary
anti-ulcer medication.
12.5 g/foal/day during 30 days at weaning.
Not all products are available in all markets nor associated claims allowed in all regions.

between the gastric juices and the stomach lining leading to its
erosion. Loss of appetite reduced body condition, recurrent colic
and loose drappings are all indicators that gastric ulceration may
be present. FERMAID EASE can be used following traditional
veterinary therapy to maintain gastric health.
