-- With research indicating that over 90% of performance horses and half of light-work horses suffer from gastric ulcers, Tribute® Equine Nutrition upgraded the formulas of several products last year. The company proudly announced that these upgrades have expanded to the entire Tribute product line, standardizing its advanced gut-health technologies across nearly all formulas to address a growing industry-wide health concern.
“As horse people, we understand the frustration that comes from owners struggling with their horse’s digestive health and performance,” said Nicole Rambo, Ph.D., Equine Nutritionist for Tribute Equine Nutrition. “Science- and research-backed results shouldn't be a luxury. By bringing Constant Comfort® and our new Uptake Technology™ to our entire line of full-intake feeds, we’re supporting the health of horses from the inside out through their daily nutrition.”
The 2026 rollout focuses on three pillars of equine physiology:
- Added Gastric Buffering: The expanded inclusion of Constant Comfort® (a seaweed-derived calcium) provides a natural pH buffer. This formula is designed to stabilize the stomach environment for 2 to 4 hours post-meal, bridging the gap between feedings when horses are most vulnerable.
- Bio-Available Nutrient Delivery: The debut of Uptake Technology™ introduces a complex matrix of prebiotics, probiotics, postbiotics, digestive enzymes, and a key addition, phospholipids, which assist in the breakdown of fats to maximize digestive and caloric efficiency, a critical update for hard-keepers and senior horses.
- Allergen-Conscious Ration Balancers: Responding to the rise in sensitivities, Tribute’s line of ration balancers is now 100% flaxseed-free and molasses-free, which achieves a lower NSC profile.
Industry Impact & Availability
This update represents one of the largest formula standardizations in Tribute's history. The 2026 enhancements will be phased into all of Tribute’s standard feeds (excluding Ultra GH, Wholesome Blends™, and race lines) throughout the year.
