Kentucky Triacton

Bone, Gastric & Hindgut Support Pellet

KER Triacton is an advanced pelleted supplement providing triple-action nutritional support for bone density, gastric buffering and hindgut health in growing and performance horses.

Developed by Kentucky Equine Research (KER), Triacton combines highly bioavailable minerals and vitamins with BMC, a natural buffering ingredient, and yeast to support the bones, stomach and hindgut.

It is particularly valuable for young growing horses and equine athletes undergoing intensive training, where maintaining strong bones and a healthy digestive environment is essential. Supplied as a convenient, easy-to-feed pellet.

Triple-Action Support

• Bone Health & Density: provides highly available calcium alongside a comprehensive combination of minerals and vitamins required for normal skeletal development and maintenance.
• Gastric Buffering: contains BMC, a natural stomach-buffering ingredient researched for its ability to help neutralise gastric acidity and support a healthy stomach environment.
• Hindgut Health: helps support a favourable hindgut environment for beneficial microorganisms, with added yeast to support normal fibre digestion and microbial activity.

Advanced Bone Support

Bone is constantly undergoing formation and remodelling, making appropriate nutrition particularly important for growing horses and horses undertaking high-intensity exercise. Triacton contains a novel, highly digestible source of calcium, together with other nutrients important for normal bone development and maintenance, including:

• Calcium
• Magnesium
• Boron
• Silicon
• Iodine
• Zinc
• Manganese
• Vitamin A
• Vitamin C
• Vitamin D
• Vitamin K

Selected minerals are provided in chelated forms to support efficient absorption and utilisation, helping ensure important trace minerals are readily available for maintaining normal bone and overall health.

Gastric & Hindgut Buffering

BMC is a research-investigated natural buffering ingredient designed to help neutralise excess acidity within the stomach. This provides nutritional support for a healthier gastric environment, particularly in horses exposed to factors commonly associated with increased gastric acidity, including:

• Intensive training
• High-concentrate diets
• Travelling
• Competition
• Limited access to forage
• Stabling and management stress

Maintaining an appropriate hindgut environment is essential for healthy microbial fermentation and efficient utilisation of fibre. Triacton provides buffering support, while the added yeast supports beneficial microorganisms and normal fibre digestion.

Triacton should be considered nutritional gastric support rather than a treatment for diagnosed Equine Gastric Ulcer Syndrome (EGUS).

Research-Based Equine Nutrition

Research conducted by Kentucky Equine Research has investigated Triacton's effects on bone density and buffering capacity within the equine gastrointestinal tract, forming the basis for its combined skeletal and digestive approach.

Complete Bone & Gut Support

KER Triacton combines highly bioavailable bone-building nutrients with gastric and hindgut buffering support and added yeast, providing comprehensive nutritional support for growing horses and equine athletes in intensive training.

When feeding Triacton alongside fortified feeds, balancers or other mineral supplements, consider the horse's complete dietary mineral and vitamin intake to avoid over-supplementation. Always read the label before use. Horses with suspected gastric ulcers, recurrent colic, persistent digestive problems, lameness or suspected skeletal disease should receive veterinary assessment, and consult your veterinarian or the manufacturer if your horse is pregnant or on other treatment.
