Actigen in Ulcabuf | Prebiotic Support for Horse Gut Health

What is Actigen? 

Actigen® is a proprietary prebiotic ingredient included in the Ulcabuf supplement to support long-term digestive health in horses. Prebiotics are non-digestible nutrients that selectively promote the growth and activity of beneficial gut bacteria (probiotics), helping to maintain a balanced digestive environment. 

How does Actigen work? 

Actigen serves as a food source for beneficial bacteria such as Lactobacilli and Bifidobacteria, helping them flourish while reducing the growth of harmful bacteria. This selective action creates a healthier gut microbiome and promotes better digestion and nutrient absorption. 

Benefits of Actigen for horses include: 

  • Improved gut health and microbial balance
  • Enhanced nutrient absorption
  • Better digestive efficiency 
  • Support for the immune system 

Why is Actigen included in Ulcabuf?

Ulcabuf is formulated to support overall digestive health, particularly for horses prone to stress, travel, or dietary changes. By including Actigen, Ulcabuf offers targeted support for maintaining a healthy and stable digestive system. 

The importance of gut health in horses 

A horse’s digestive system plays a key role in overall health and performance. An imbalanced gut can lead to issues such as ulcers, colic, poor feed conversion, and behavioural changes. Supporting gut health can help prevent these issues and support better overall condition. 

In summary: 

Actigen in Ulcabuf provides prebiotic support that encourages healthy bacteria in the horse’s gut, supporting digestion, immunity, and long-term well-being.

Actigen in Stance Supplements





In my time working as a professional rider I have dealt quite a few times with new horses that came in with stomach ulcers and it really took a while to figure out how to deal with it. So many options. As a preventative I have finally found a successful product in Stance Equitec UlcaBuf, that actually does what it says. It is a seaweed derived calcium based supplement that will neutralise the PH levels in the gut and hindgut. This together with a high fibre diet and slippery elm powder has really made a difference for my horses and my client's horses that have dealt with stomach ulcers. The results are astounding."- Marvin Smink



"My 6 year old's whole demeanour had changed to the point of her becoming dangerous to approach, rug, feed, catch etc., let alone ride! Then, three weeks ago I started feeding her UlcaBuf. I changed nothing else. Two weeks in and she was a different horse! She is friendly and happy to see me and almost even sooky! I am so impressed with your UlcaBuf, that I would recommend it whole heartedly. Thank you so much."- Sharyn
