Kentucky Equine Research Rite Trac
Kentucky Equine Research Rite Trac
Kentucky Equine Research RiteTrac is a proprietary blend of ingredients designed to support total digestive tract health. Targeted to benefit both the foregut and hindgut of the horse, RiteTrac works in two distinct ways. First, with its combination of fast-acting antacids and coating agents, RiteTrac quickly neutralizes excess gastric acid, protecting the stomach lining and restoring the normal gastric environment. Second, RiteTrac contains EquiShure®, a time-released hindgut buffer designed to act within the cecum and colon by maintaining optimal pH, thereby reducing the risk of hindgut acidosis.

Contains EquiShure, a time-released buffer to neutralize excessive acid in the hindgut
Provides rapid relief from the discomfort associated with gastric ulcers and hindgut acidosis
Aids in maintaining a healthy digestive environment for optimal nutrient absorption
Cost-effective means of reducing the risk of gastric ulcers and hindgut acidosis
Combats the increased risk of hindgut acidosis in horses on high-grain diets, grazing lush pasture, or prone to laminitis
Often results in improvement of symptoms in horses experiencing
loose manure
weight loss
lack of appetite
frequent mild colic
stereotypical behaviors
Recommended for prophylactic use during training, showing, transport, weaning, or other stressful events
Recommended as digestive tract support for horses on chronic NSAID therapy, as well as those recovering from illness or colic surgery
How to use RiteTrac
Administer 120 g per 500-kg (1100-lb) horse. May be given orally or added to horse’s daily grain ration. For best results, divide between grain meals.

RiteTrac contains ingredients that quickly and effectively protect the sensitive stomach lining, preventing the damage caused by the continuous production of gastric acid.
The antacids contained in RiteTrac rapidly neutralize the acid secreted in the stomach, providing a more pH-neutral environment between meals. Similar compounds have also been shown to have a role in alleviating clinical signs in horses with severe ulceration.
Research at Kentucky Equine Research has shown that horses consuming EquiShure, a time-released hindgut buffer, did not exhibit hindgut acidosis when subjected to a hindgut challenge of elevated grain or fructan as found in lush pasture.
EquiShure, which is contained in RiteTrac, helps moderate gut conditions by preventing the drastic drop in pH associated with high lactate production and supports lactic-acid utilizing bacteria to enhance the natural production of volatile fatty acids (VFA) from starch and cellulose. While VFA are weak acids and will reduce pH, the dramatic effects of lactic acid acidosis are moderated and the associated problems attenuated by the time-released buffer EquiShure contained in RiteTrac.
