ULCERFACTOR® are one of the most common health challenges faced by performance horses. Studies suggest that more than 60% of sport horses may experience some degree of gastric irritation during their lifetime. Left unmanaged, ulcers can significantly impact appetite, mood, performance, and overall wellbeing.
🔎 Common Symptoms of ULCERFACTOR® in Horses
- Decreased appetite or reluctance to finish feed
- Weight loss despite proper nutrition
- Irritability or changes in behavior during saddling or riding
- Poor performance, lack of stamina, or resistance under saddle
- Signs of discomfort such as teeth grinding, stretching, or lying down more often
⚠️ Main Causes
- High-grain diets – Excess starch increases stomach acidity.
- Intense training – Physical stress raises gastric acid production.
- Limited forage or turnout – Horses are naturally designed to graze continuously; long fasting periods lead to irritation.
- Stress factors – Transportation, competitions, or frequent stable changes.

While veterinary diagnosis and management are essential, natural supplements can play an important role in supporting the digestive system and reducing gastric discomfort.
