The Future of Equine Gut Health Is Here
Equi-Phage BOOST uses nature’s own precision mechanism — bacteriophages — to eliminate harmful gut bacteria while preserving the beneficial microbiome your horse depends on. Not a probiotic. Not an antibiotic. Something fundamentally better.

The Challenge
Why Your Horse’s Gut Needs More Than Probiotics
Conventional supplements add bacteria and hope for the best. Equi-Phage BOOST takes a fundamentally different approach — removing the harmful bacteria that cause the problem in the first place.
Colic: The #1 Killer
Colic remains the leading cause of death in adult horses aged 1–20, accounting for nearly a third of all equine deaths. Over 920,000 U.S. horses experience colic episodes every year and the economic toll exceeds $200 million annually.
31.2% of equine deaths
Gastric Ulcers Are Epidemic
Studies show 70–94% of thoroughbreds in training and most sport horses suffer from gastric ulceration. Stress, travel, competition schedules, and modern feeding practices disrupt the delicate gut microbiome balance critical to your horse’s health.Up to 94% prevalence
Antibiotic Resistance Crisis
Overuse of antibiotics in animal care is driving antimicrobial resistance — a global health emergency. The veterinary industry urgently needs targeted, non-antibiotic solutions that eliminate harmful bacteria without contributing to the resistance cycle.

Phages and Gut Health
The equine gut is one of the most complex and delicate digestive systems in the animal kingdom. A horse's hindgut alone contains trillions of microorganisms — bacteria, fungi, and protozoa — that work together to ferment fibre, synthesise vitamins, support immune function, and maintain the integrity of the intestinal lining. This gut microbiome is central to a horse's overall health, energy, temperament, and resilience.
Disruptions to this microbial community — from stress, dietary changes, travel, antibiotic use, or environmental pressures — can allow opportunistic and pathogenic bacteria to proliferate. When the balance tips, the consequences can range from digestive discomfort and poor nutrient absorption to more serious gastrointestinal disturbances.
Bacteriophages support gut health by selectively addressing harmful bacterial populations while preserving the vast community of beneficial microbes that the horse depends on. This targeted approach helps maintain the conditions in which a healthy, diverse microbiome can flourish.
