RiteTrac ®

Total Digestive Tract Buffer

RiteTrac is a proprietary blend of ingredients designed to support total digestive tract health. Targeted to benefit both the foregut and hindgut of the horse, RiteTrac works in two distinct ways. First, with its combination of fast-acting antacids and coating agents, RiteTrac quickly neutralizes excess gastric acid, protecting the stomach lining and restoring the normal gastric environment. Second, RiteTrac contains EquiShure®, a time-released hindgut buffer designed to act within the cecum and colon by maintaining optimal pH, thereby reducing the risk of hindgut acidosis.

Features and Benefits

Emphasis On Digestion

Much importance is placed on gastrointestinal health because optimal digestion ensures efficient conversion of feedstuffs to energy, which in turn fuels growth, performance, and reproduction.

Feeding Recommendations

Administer one tube (60 g) of Race Recovery Paste one to two hours after performance and a second tube four to six hours later. Feed one scoop (60 g) of Race Recovery Powder twice a day mixed thoroughly in feed for at least five days thereafter. Suitable for use as daily electrolyte.

What Is Furosemide?

Furosemide, a diuretic commonly referred to by the trade names Lasix® or Salix®, is administered to racehorses to reduce the incidence of exerciseinduced pulmonary hemorrhage (EIPH), also known as bleeding. Furosemide inhibits the body’s ability to absorb sodium and chloride, leading to large urinary losses of electrolytes, including calcium, large increases in urine output, and dramatic weight loss.
