RE: [RC] Probiotics in electrolytes Question - Susan & Jerry Milam
Excellant question and
have asked the very same question months ago and never got a response but very
common sense would tell you the answer. This concentration of salt should kill
those bacteria and render it fairly void of benefit. What I try to do is probi
the horseway before I dose with electrolyte so it's out of danger from the
salts.

Question
I know many riders add pro biotics to their
electrolyte concoctions. What I am curious about is do pro biotics remain
effective in a very salty base like electrolytes. One of the reasons I
give pro biotics is because stress can cause the micro flora in the gut to die
off and disrupt digestion. It seems to me that these microflora are pretty
sensitive to environmental changes. I know they are sensitive to changes
in temperature, pH, antibiotics, etc.
So if I mix pro biotics in my
electrolytes should I expect them to be viable by the time they get to
where they would have a positive effect for my horses digestion? If I am
going to give pro biotics would it be more effective to give them separately
from electrolytes or mix them with feed at vet checks?
