Professor John Hunter publishes a comparison of the human and horse gut. This leads to the identification of low pancreatic enzyme activity and too-rapid digestion as possible explanations for horse digestion problems.​

2010/11

Prof Hunter and Dr Rosemary Waring identify enzyme rich malt extract as a source of enzymes to compensate for lack of adequate pancreatic enzyme activity in horses.

2012

Our enzyme rich malt extract is tested in horses at a flat racing yard ranked in the top 5 in the UK. The horses show significantly improved condition and run better. Careful stool analysis shows a drop in acetate, which means nutrients are being better absorbed in the gut.
