PRN Pharmacal Introduces GastroMate Equine IgY Plus Gel - Unique, Cutting-edge Gut Support for Horses and Foals

Pensacola, FL – March 1, 2007 –  PRN Pharmacal introduces GastroMate® Equine IgY Plus Gel; a highly palatable flavored gel that contains dried hyperimmunized egg product, direct fed microbials,  antioxidants and vitamins.   It can support the natural mucosal immunity to microbial agents which can cause disorders in the normal state of the digestive tract.  GastroMate Equine IgY Plus gel is ideal for use prior to and after foaling, prior to foal heat and at any sign of scours, especially foal scours.  And it doesn’t just cover up the problem – it addresses it at the root.

The exclusive formula of GastroMate contains egg product characterized by the content of yolk antibodies. The antibodies bind with other undesirable bacteria, preventing it from adhering to the intestinal mucosa and becoming established. The dried egg formula consists of highly digestible proteins with excellent nutritional value.  “This is a fantastic addition to our product line, “ says Gary Cushing, Vice President of Sales for PRN Pharmacal. “The distinctive egg-yolk formula provides a unique solution for intestinal disturbances.  It is also a unique complement to the other products in our line.”

GastroMate Equine IgY Plus Gel will not influence the chemical composition or efficacy of drugs used in the treatment of intestinal disturbances.  GastroMate Equine is intended for use in both horses and foals and makes an excellent companion to drug and antibiotic therapy.
