Welcome to the New Buckeye® Nutrition Website

Sun, 28 Feb 2010 09:14:37 GMT

Welcome to the new and much improved Buckeye® Nutrition website. This has been months in the making, and we are finally able to unveil a prominent website that reflects the premium-ness of our feed. The goal of this website is to not only promote our brand and feed, but to also offer educational tools and resources to help all horseowners and caretakers keep their horses healthy.

Our new website offers many new features, including an interactive feed selector, an opportunity for visitors to share stories, accomplishments, and pictures of their horses while using Buckeye® Nutrition feed, an opportunity to join our email list for news and promotions on Buckeye® Nutrition feed, and an easy way to get in contact with our Research, Quality, and Nutrition department to get questions you may have, answered. When using the feed selector, you will be guided through a series of important questions that will result in a selection of Buckeye® Nutrition feeds we feel are best suited for your horse's situation. This is not your ordinary feed selector that provides you a list of feeds for you to do your own research and feed selection.

Information on every product we manufacture under the Buckeye® Nutrition brand can be found on our site. Each product now has it's own downloadable information sheet that you can print off and learn about at your convenience. Our dealer locator page is now linked to Google® Maps, which will allow you to get driving directions from your farm. You will no longer have to browse through the long list of dealers to find the closest to you, as we have narrowed your query to the five closest to your zip or postal code.

We have minimized the number of clicks to get to the information you seek, and the information we feel is important for all horseowners to know. Thank you for visiting our site and let us know what you think!

EQ8™ Gut Health: An Innovative and Proven Feed to Support Equine Digestive

Tue, 06 Oct 2009 16:56:11 GMT

To maintain a healthy horse, providing quality forage and essential nutrients in the correct balance is key. Typically, horse feeds have the nutrients listed on the tag or bag. However, some ingredients used (such as whole corn whose starch is hard to make available) are not often digestible in the small intestine. Undigested ingredients leak into the large intestine and may cause digestive upset, such as colic and hindgut acidosis, which can lead to laminitis. EQ8™ Gut Health by BUCKEYE® Nutrition has been scientifically formulated with balanced digestive support to help promote optimal health for your horse.

EQ8™ Gut Health has been globally researched, field tested, and proven to support equine health, by targeting the digestive system. The use of cooked grains ensures optimal digestion in the foregut, greatly decreasing the chances of excess starch and other nutrients reaching the hindgut. Live probiotics are applied to the feed that will continuously line the intestinal wall, creating a barrier of protection from harmful bacterial growth. John Sylvester, Ph.D., Director of Research and Quality at Buckeye® Nutrition explains: "Many competitors promote the use of probiotics in their feeds. However, these fragile species are invariably killed due to the high temperature during the manufacturing process. With our BioFuze™ technology, we are able to apply an even distribution of live probiotics that remain protected in the feed and become beneficially active in your horse's digestive system."

"I love the idea that there are live probiotics in this feed. I work my horses very hard and they do compete regularly, so I like the extra assurance that this feed will keep my horse's digestive system healthy when they're stressed. Feeding EQ8™ Gut Health helps me ensure that my horses are healthy enough to give me their best performance without me having to buy any extra supplements."

Lara Anderson of Full Gallop Farm, Aiken, S.C.
