When horses rely on high-fibre, low-starch diets for metabolic health, it’s crucial to help their digestive systems work as efficiently as possible. That’s why we added Levucell SC Titan, a protected live yeast, to our Ultra Low GI Feed — to naturally boost fibre digestion, improve nutrient absorption, and support overall gut health.
The Details and How It Works
Levucell SC Titan is an encapsulated live brewer’s yeast. It’s a specific strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and it plays a critical role in optimising your horse’s digestion.
Horses on low GI diets rely heavily on forage and fibre rather than starches for energy. Levucell SC Titan boosts the efficiency of fibre digestion by promoting the growth of good bacteria in the hindgut, helping horses extract more energy and nutrients from their hay, pasture, and fibre-rich feeds.
Importantly, it also helps stabilise hindgut pH, reducing the risk of hindgut acidosis — a major concern for horses with metabolic issues like insulin resistance or laminitis risk. By supporting beneficial bacteria that break down lactic acid, Levucell SC Titan helps maintain a healthy, balanced digestive environment.
Titan Encapsulation Technology
The Titan encapsulation technology is key. It protects the live yeast through the stomach’s harsh conditions, ensuring a higher number of viable yeast cells reach the hindgut where they are most effective. This means better nutrient absorption, fewer digestive upsets like colic, and more consistent condition and energy levels - exactly what sensitive horses need.
By including Levucell SC Titan in our Ultra Low GI Feed, we’re helping your horse get maximum benefit from a low-GI, high-fibre diet, safely, naturally and effectively.
