Horses thrive on consistency, but there’s nothing consistent about competition: performance schedules are anything but predictable, new neighbors arrive in adjoining stalls, and arenas and environments are constantly changing. This inconsistency can take a toll- affecting health, attitude, and performance. Even common activities including stall confinement, exercise, and transportation are known to cause stress in horses, which may challenge their immune systems and can lead to gastric discomfort.

  • Purina® Ultium® Gastric Care horse formula helps equine athletes during the stress of competition by providing optimal gastric and immune support.
  • Purina® Ultium® Gastric Care horse formula was developed by Purina’s Ph.D. Equine Nutritionists and Veterinarians to provide consistent support during times of stress. This feed is the culmination of decades of Purina equine nutrition research and contains specialized ingredients designed to support a healthy gastric environment and immune system.
  • Balanced Nutrition to Support Overall Health: Formulated by Purina Ph.D. Equine Nutritionists use only high-quality ingredients, Ultium® Gastric Care horse feed is designed to meet the daily protein, vitamin, and mineral needs of equine athletes.
  • Consistent Nutrition in Every Bag: Purina's Constant Nutrition® formulation process makes small adjustments in the amount of ingredients to compensate for nutrient variability. This process helps ensure that your horse receives consistent nutrition in every bag.
  • Energy to Support High-Performing Horses: Ultium® Gastric Care horse feed is nutritionally balanced and has the calories needed to support body condition and performance in smaller meals.
  • Highly Digestible Fiber Sources Support Optimal Hindgut Environment: Formulated with beet pulp, alfalfa, and soy hulls to provide prebiotic fibers to the hindgut, which support beneficial microbes and gastrointestinal health.
  • Immune Support for Horses Affected by the Stress of Competition: Ultium® Gastric Care horse feed contains a specialized yeast extract to help support the immune systems of horses affected by stress. Throughout the rigors of competition, you can have confidence your horse has the support needed for peak performance.
  • Purina® Amplify® Supplement Added to Support Body Condition: Multiple sources of fatty acids from flaxseed, stabilized rice bran, and vegetable oils help maintain body condition, healthy hair and skin.
  • Purina® Outlast® Supplement: Scientifically shown to support gastric health and comfort and proper pH through the stress of travel and competition.

50 lb bag.

* This is the recommended minimum amount of hay to be fed. If feeding more hay, you may reduce the feeding rate of Ultium® Gastric Care Horse Formula to maintain appropriate body condition.
** To meet nutrient requirements, do not feed less than 0.3 lbs. per 100 lbs. of bodyweight per day for mature horses at maintenance (3 lbs. per 1000-lb horse). If your horse gains too much weight at the minimum feeding rate, transition to Purina® Enrich Plus® Ration Balancing Feed.
*** Feeding rates of Ultium® Gastric Care and forage may be adjusted or feed may be top-dressed with Purina® Amplify® High-Fat Supplement for additional calories. Hard-working horses may also benefit from supplementation with Purina® Supersport® Amino Acid Supplement.

A 4-pound meal of Ultium® Gastric Care Horse Formula supplies a full serving of Outlast® Supplement.

Caution
Follow label directions. Feeding added selenium at levels in excess of 0.3 ppm in the total diet is prohibited. 

Important

  1. Feeding rates will vary with size, age, temperament, health status, forage quality, climate and activity level. Feed at regular times, at least twice daily. Do not feed more than 0.5 lbs/100 lbs of body weight per meal. Do not feed free-choice. Prevent rapid eating by the horse of any feedstuff.
  2. Reduce and/or delay feeding a horse which is hot, excited or showing pain, has fever or diarrhea. Consult your veterinarian if any problems arise.
  3. Always feed a minimum of 1.0 to 1.2 lbs per 100 lbs of body weight of good quality clean hay or the equivalent in pasture.
  4. Any feed changes should be made gradually over a period of 7 to 10 days. Changes in the rate of feeding should not exceed 1.0 lb per day for each horse.
  5. Provide fresh, clean water at all times. Provide your horse with access to salt. Consult with your veterinarian regularly and maintain a routine dental, parasite control and health care program for your horse.

If you're like most owners, you're always looking for ways to help your horse perform and look their best. I've personally researched and fed quite a few types of grains and supplements, and only one has managed to capture me as a lifetime user- Purina Ultium Gastric Care. Any stomach issue is going to impact your horse, from their attitude to their hair coat. My own horse, as a foal, developed stomach issues due to stress and it has been an ongoing battle over the years to keep him ulcer-free and to lessen how often he had loose stools. Most grains I tried on him worked as they claimed, but I was never ""blown away"" by the results as I was still having to buy supplements to keep him from getting those loose stools at every new stimulus he came across. This was a tough battle, as he is a reining horse who is constantly under the stress of training, traveling, and showing. It wasn't until the Purina Ultium Gastric Care came out that I saw a difference. It is a fantastic feeling to cut out the cost of expensive digestive supplements! Purina Ultium Gastric Care has their Outlast digestive supplement mixed into it. On top of his stomach feeling better, there was a drastic improvement of his hair coat, and his attitude and willingness to work came back. This grain is formulated with the performance horse in mind, and it shows. It is also super palatable! He is shiny, dappled, happy, and most important, comfortable. Don't make your horse wait until they have a problem to fix it- take a preventative measure and start them on Purina Ultium Gastric Care. And if your horse has an ongoing issue, help fix the problem by starting them on this grain or even just by supplementing their current grain with the Purina Outlast Digestive Supplement. Your horse will thank you!
