Unika Balls Crib Biting contains plant-based substances that enhance the natural salivation system, increasing the amount of saliva produced in a completely physiological manner. The alkalinity of saliva, when it reaches the stomach, helps the horse naturally and physiologically counteract the highly acidic gastric environment, providing a feeling of well-being. By improving the natural well-being of the stomach, the crib biting horse will experience improved live weight, a shinier coat, an improved external appearance, and a restored overall condition.
Unika Balls also possess other important characteristics: they are artisanal, made in Italy , formulated with 93% plant-based ingredients, completely free of grains and sugars, and rich in noble raw materials such as soy and rice. This is precisely why they are also suitable for horses intolerant to grains, horses on a low-glycemic index diet, and competitive horses that perform significant muscular efforts and for which the introduction of sugars is highly inadvisable as it would encourage the production of lactic acid.
(Given the specificity of each individual organism, it is always good practice to test new food products, gradually introducing them into the horse's diet to evaluate their tolerance).
