Can I use SUCCEED® on pregnant mares or foals?
Yes. Because the ingredients in SUCCEED® are all natural and tested for safety, you can provide it to pregnant mares and foals following the use instructions on the label. In fact, our research shows benefits of using SUCCEED on pregnant mares, as well as weanlings and yearlings.
What if my horse isn’t eating right?
There are many reasons that horses may not eat properly. You should consult with your veterinarian.
Is SUCCEED® for performance horses only?
No. Although SUCCEED® was formulated for the special needs of performance horses, every horse is the same on the inside. Even light performers - horses that compete only occasionally or are used for riding - can be forced to deal with the challenges of training, travel, stalling, intermittent feeding and more. And brood mares and foals face special challenges that can affect digestive health. These horses can benefit from a digestive tract conditioning program.
What if I miss a day of using SUCCEED®?
Regular, ongoing use of SUCCEED® Digestive Conditioning Program® is an important part of maintaining digestive health, now and into the future. If your horse misses an occasional day, however, there should be no significant impact.
Will my horse like SUCCEED®?
SUCCEED® Digestive Conditioning Program® is made with the oil and fiber of oats. It has a natural oat flavor horses love.
Does it matter what time of day I give my horses SUCCEED®?
No. It is best to give your horse SUCCEED® immediately before feeding or with feed. It does not matter with which meal you provide SUCCEED®, but it would be best to provide it with the same meal every day.
Can I give a horse SUCCEED® on the day of an event?
Yes. The nutrients in SUCCEED® Digestive Conditioning Program® are safe and natural. There is nothing in SUCCEED® that will compromise the horse’s well-being or its ability to perform on the day of competition.
How long do I need to use SUCCEED® on my horse?
SUCCEED® is not a drug or a quick fix. It is a functional feed supplement designed to support digestive tract health and well-being. Continue to feed SUCCEED® once a day, every day for ongoing digestive health. A response to good nutrition may be visible within 30 days, but please allow at least 90 days. Continue to use SUCCEED® daily thereafter.
What if I give SUCCEED® to my horse twice in the same day?
Should your horse get twice the recommended amount of SUCCEED® in one day, your horse will be fine. For fastest results, we recommend that you give a serving of SUCCEED® both morning and evening for the first week of use. Always consult your veterinarian if you see any adverse reactions to any products.
Do I use a full serving of SUCCEED® with a pony?
SUCCEED® has been formulated for a typical 1200 lb adult horse. A full 27 gram serving of SUCCEED® is not going to harm a smaller horse.
Why does my horse need SUCCEED®?
If you could keep your horse on pasture and have the ability to rotate pasture from time to time, there would be few demands on its digestive system and your horse would most likely get the nutrition it needs. But in the performance world, this is not practical. As a result, we’ve designed SUCCEED® Digestive Conditioning Program® for any horse whose lifestyle includes a high grain diet, intermittent feeding schedules, stalling, travel, training and competition, all of which can challenge a horse’s delicate digestive tract.
Is this a probiotic?
No. Probiotics, or direct-fed microbials, deliver two lactic-acid producing microbials to the digestive system, to encourage normal gut microflora. SUCCEED® provides a nutrient source for the horse’s existing microbial population.
Is SUCCEED® intended for colicky horses?
If your horse has a serious health condition like colic, consult your veterinarian.
If SUCCEED® is so good, and grain is so bad, can I stop giving my horse feed and just give him SUCCEED® three times a day?
SUCCEED® Digestive Conditioning Program® is intended to supplement the diet of horses and is not to be used in place of regular feed. While SUCCEED® can support better nutrient absorption from feed, it does not provide all of the necessary nutrients for good health.
If SUCCEED® helps a horse get more from its feed, should I change the amount of feed I’m giving?
Possibly. Consult a veterinarian or horse feed specialist to determine the appropriate ration for your horse. |
