Topspec Ulsakind Cubes

UlsaKind (Ultra Low Starch Anlaysis) Cubes are very low starch and formulated to provide calories for condition (12MJ/kg) whilst being highly sympathetic to the digestive system. This can occur even when it is compromised by extreme acidity. That means that TopSpec UlsaKind Cubes are suitable for horses prone to, or suffering from ESGD (gastric ulcers).

UlsaKind Cubes are ideal in those circumstances where the internal surface of the stomach has been eroded, because they contain very high levels of β-glucans which form a gel and coat the stomach lining with a protective film. The gel-like stomach contents are less likely to splash the upper squamous epithelium in the stomach.

These β-glucans also slow the rate of passage of feed through the stomach and intestines. This is due to the sticky, gel-like consistency of the feed. This reduces the periods of time when the stomach is highly acidic. Because the β-glucans in UlsaKind Cubes bind to sugars in the intestine,this slows their absorption and lowers the glycaemic index of the feed.

UlsaKind Cubes formulation allows it to be added to a TopSpec Feed Balancer or supplement. Therefore, they contain no added vitamins or trace-elements. They are however, enriched with the minerals calcium, sodium and magnesium.
