ADR Support your horse's gastrointestinal tract
ADR supports the horse’s gastrointestinal tract by providing a unique blend of
direct-fed microbials, yeast culture, and yeast extracts. These ingredients work
synergistically to maintain normal gut flora.
A horse’s well-being hinges largely on the health of its gastrointestinal tract. For
complete digestive health, choose ADR!
ADR was developed by EquiVision, Inc. and is marketed by Kentucky
Performance Products, LLC.
WHEN AND HOW TO USE
In what form does ADR come?
ADR is available in 30-g tubes (paste) and 5- and 20-pound buckets (powder).
Can Neigh-Lox and ADR be used together in a maintenance program?
Yes, the products can be used together or individually.
When do I use ADR Paste, and when do I use ADR Powder?
ADR Paste is intended for young foals and horses that cannot or will not eat grain.
ADR Paste is also helpful in situations when delivery of the product into the
gastrointestinal system must be guaranteed. ADR Powder is top-dressed onto a
grain meal and fed as part of a daily maintenance program.
Why is the maintenance dose for ADR Paste 30 grams and for the ADR
Powder 25 grams?
The total amount of ADR Paste in a tube is 30 grams, 25 grams of ADR Powder
mixed with 5 grams of a carrier. Therefore, both have the same concentration of
active ingredients.
How many CFU (colony forming units) does ADR have? Is this more than
other probiotics?
ADR Paste and Powder have nine trillion CFU. This represents about twice as
much as some other leading brands.
Is it dangerous to have too many CFU of yeast ?
No. If the horse does not use the yeast, it is passed out with the feces.
SCIENTIFICALLY FORMULATED
ADR blends probiotics and yeast extracts in a safe and powerful formula suitable
for all horses. Using three key ingredients, ADR features a multiprong approach to
digestive health. The ingredients work synergistically to keep the gastrointestinal
tract healthy enough to ward off challenges by pathogenic bacteria that most
commonly affect the equine population.

Dr. Bill Vandergrift is an equine nutrition specialist with a lifetime of work to his
credit. After earning his Ph.D. in animal nutrition from Texas A&M University in
1980, Vandergrift held a professorship at the University of Georgia, where he
taught both undergraduate and graduate nutrition and management courses. He left
academia to work as director of equine nutrition for both regional and national feed
companies. In 1992, he formed a nutrition consulting company for breeders,
trainers, riders, and feed manufacturers. In working with these horsemen,
Vandergrift discovered a need for specialized supplements that were unavailable in
the marketplace. Since he formed his company, EquiVision, Inc., Vandergrift has
formulated several custom-made supplements for clients in every corner of the
world—Australia, Japan, England, South Africa, Ireland, Canada, Germany. In
2005, he forged a relationship with KPP to increase the exposure of products he
developed in the marketplace.
INGREDIENTS THAT WORK
A chief function of the hindgut is the fermentation of
forages, which ensures horses have sufficient energy
to fuel growth and exercise. Fermentation, however,
is dependent upon a robust population of beneficial
microorganisms. Stress, disease, and other factors
are sometimes detrimental to the vitality of this
microorganism population. As the hindgut becomes
depopulated of microorganisms and fermentation
slows, the digestive and absorptive capacity of the
hindgut decreases and appetite becomes less vigorous.
The ingredients in ADR provide a unique blend of
direct-fed microbials, yeast cultures, and yeast
extracts which support normal hindgut health.
