Kentucky Triacton

KER Triacton

Triple-action nutritional support for stronger bones, gastric buffering and hindgut health in growing and performance horses.

KER Triacton is an advanced pelleted supplement formulated to support bone density, skeletal development and digestive health in horses.

Developed by Kentucky Equine Research (KER), Triacton combines highly bioavailable minerals and vitamins with BMC, a natural buffering ingredient, and yeast to provide comprehensive nutritional support for 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.

Triple-Action Support

Triacton provides three key areas of nutritional support:

1. Bone Health & Density
Provides highly available Calcium alongside a comprehensive combination of minerals and vitamins required for normal skeletal development and maintenance.

2. Gastric Buffering
Contains BMC, a natural stomach-buffering ingredient researched for its ability to help neutralise gastric acidity and support a healthy stomach environment.

3. 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 processes of formation and remodelling, making appropriate nutrition particularly important for growing horses and horses undertaking high-intensity exercise.

Triacton contains a specialised source of Calcium selected for its high digestibility, together with other nutrients important for normal bone development and maintenance.

These include:

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

Highly Digestible Calcium

Triacton contains a novel source of highly digestible Calcium, providing an efficiently utilised source of this essential mineral.

Calcium is fundamental to normal skeletal development and maintenance and is particularly important for young, growing horses and horses undergoing demanding training programs.

Chelated Minerals

Selected minerals are provided in chelated forms to support efficient absorption and utilisation.

This helps ensure important trace minerals are readily available for the numerous physiological processes involved in maintaining normal bone and overall health.

Gastric Buffering Support

Triacton contains BMC, 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

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

Hindgut Support

Maintaining an appropriate hindgut environment is essential for healthy microbial fermentation and efficient utilisation of fibre.

Triacton helps support normal hindgut conditions by providing buffering support, while the inclusion of yeast provides additional nutritional support for beneficial microorganisms and normal fibre digestion.

Feeding Recommendations

Mature Horses:
Feed 120g per day.

Growing Horses:
Feed 60–120g per day.

Mix with the horse's normal daily ration and follow current manufacturer feeding recommendations.

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.

Build Strong Bones & Support a Healthy Gut

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 facing the demands of 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 unnecessary over-supplementation.

Horses with suspected gastric ulcers, recurrent colic, persistent digestive problems, lameness or suspected skeletal disease should receive appropriate veterinary assessment.
