The effectiveness and synergy of these strains has been proven in years of trials and production application. Protexin is an aid duting periods of intestinal dysfunction in all animals, including treatment and control of scouring or diarrhoea, post-antibiotic therapy in all animals for the re-establishment of gut microflora following antibiotic usage, improved weight gain and feed conversion in growing pigs and cattle, aids in the establishment of gastrointestinal microflora of physiologically immature animals, eg. day old chicks, neonatal calves, foals, lambs and kids, puppies and kittens\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFeeding Protexin to broodmares before and after foaling is recommended to help minimise digestive upsets and the effects of stress, to help ensure a plentiful supply of colostrum and to improve milk quantity and quality. Extensive research trials by Dr Michael Glade (USA) indicate that mares fed probiotics for six weeks prior to foaling, had foals which were 11cm taller and 21kgs heaver at eight weeks than foals from unsupplemented mares. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFoals and other animals are born with a sterile gut which is colonised quickly after birth by many strains of bacteria. The ratio between the strains is important as both beneficial and harmful bacteria are present and if harmful bacteria dominate the microflora, foals can rapidly become very sick. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eProtexin may be administered to foals immediately after birth to flood the gut with beneficial bacteria and aid in the establishment of a healthy gut microflora. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOther benefits of Protexin for foals include :-\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProtection from scours\/diarrhoea\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMany of the cases of scouring so often seen in young foals are caused by bacterial infections.
