Description
Support the horse with a touchy gut through travel, hard work, and feed changes using Purina Systemiq Probiotic Supplement. One level scoop a day delivers a patented Bacillus coagulans strain that stays alive through pelleting and through the acid of the stomach, so the live organisms actually arrive in the hindgut instead of dying somewhere along the way. Purina spent more than a decade studying the equine microbiome to get to this formula.
Key Features
- Patented probiotic technology: Bacillus coagulans GBI-30, 6086 at 10 billion CFU per 30 gram scoop, shown in research to support digestive and immune function when fed daily.
- Survives the trip: Proven to remain live and active through the pelleting process and through the gastric environment, unlike strains that die before they reach the hindgut.
- Backed by hindgut research: Studies showed support for normal hindgut health and fecal consistency in horses stressed by exercise and other activities.
- Simple daily dose: One 30 gram scoop per horse per day, with the scoop included in the tub.
- Safe across the barn: Suitable for horses of all ages, including pregnant and lactating mares.
- Part of the Purina MQ platform: The microbiome quotient line built on Purina’s long-running equine gut research.
Feeding Directions
Provide one level scoop, 30 grams, per horse per day and keep feeding it daily rather than only around events; the probiotic works by maintaining a population, not by a single dose. Most owners see results within 10 to 14 days of the first feeding. Mix the scoop into the horse’s normal grain ration or a wet mash so nothing is left in the bottom of the tub. Suitable for horses of all ages, including pregnant and lactating mares. Keep the lid sealed and store the tub in a cool, dry place out of direct sun to protect the live culture.
Caution: If the animal’s condition worsens or does not improve, stop administering the product and consult your veterinarian. For use in horses only.
Warning: Not for human consumption. Keep out of reach of children and animals. In case of accidental overdose, contact a health professional immediately. Wash hands after feeding and handling animals, and wash feed and water containers regularly. This product should not be given to animals intended for human consumption.

Guaranteed Analysis
Purina publishes this supplement as a product-facts panel rather than a conventional nutrient guarantee. The label guarantee is the active organism count: Bacillus coagulans (GBI-30, 6086), minimum 10 billion CFU per 30 gram scoop. No protein, fat, or fiber guarantees are declared, since the tub is fed at a 30 gram daily rate as a probiotic rather than as a feed.
