What is FWS/FFW ?
Fecal Water Syndrome ( FWS ) also known as Free Fecal Water ( FFW ) in horses is considered a separate condition from diarrhea or loose stools.
FWS is characterized as a horse passing fecal liquid separately from normal solid manure and can occur before, during and after, or separately from normal defecation.
Although underlying causes are not fully known at this time, the issue is thought to be fairly common, and there appears to be no effect on general health associated with the condition, but it can cause skin irritation and it becomes a management and appearance issue.

WHY USE A SUPPLEMENT PRODUCT CONTAINING ENZYMES AND PROBIOTICS
Feed (feedstuff) typically accounts for the majority of animal production costs. Some estimates under many common management schemes or practices suggest over 70% of direct costs are meeting the nutritional requirements of the animal. Efforts to reduce such costs either by utilizing less desirable (e.g. nutritionally inferior (lacking) or containing recalcitrant ingredients) feed components or making increase use (e.g. digestibility) of existing feedstuff are consistent with the economics of animal ownership. Traditional and historic application of hormone promoters, feed applied antibiotics, and/or chemical additives fairly consistently enhanced animal performance but legitimate concerns of product wholesomeness by customers have discouraged such use.
There are several potentially important performance enhancing components that have been shown to substitute, at least partially, supplements and digestive aids. These include most commonly plant extracts, prebiotic natural and synthetic compounds, exogenously supplied enzymes, and, probiotic microbes. Published research literature is replete with carefully controlled studies showing the often variable performance impact of applying these alternative supplements in animal husbandry. However, it is apparent that certain combinations of these more ‘natural’ supplements will more consistently enhance animal feed conversion efficiency and overall performance.
Laboratories at universities and at private companies over the past four decades have worked on developing combinational products that when formulated to a targeted animal species can promote both better health (e.g. resistance to pathogens), enhance body condition and overall production performance.
To increase availability of energy which resides principally in the form of complex carbohydrates such as cellulose, hemicellulose, complexed starch, xylan sheets, et cetera - the animal’s digestive tract (and its resident microorganisms) must gain access to these plant components. Complex structures of such carbohydrates often stuck together by the plant’s glue (e.g. lignin) limits availability of these compounds. Plant tissues have devised complex structures mostly in the cell walls which greatly limit water hydration and therefore gut microbial or gut enzyme access. To make such tissues available to the digestive processes we recommend inclusion of enzymes such as cellulase, xylanase, amylase, mannanase, and glucanase. By converting such plant components into smaller entities and affording water solubilities the host animal gains energy (via sugars) to carryout animal metabolism. Also it is important to note that such enzymes will assist in the liberation of a rich supply of minerals in the plant cell walls or in a chemical form that animals cannot digest (e.g. phytate acid)
In common feedstuff, often proteins are denatured (e.g. collapsed) by processing (e.g. heating) and as such rendered difficult to extract or solubilize from the plant materials or much more difficult to hydrolyze to amino acids. To make such protein readily available to the digestive processes of the host we recommend inclusion of several types of proteases (e.g. serine, metallo, cysteine, aspartic types). These enzymes can facilitate the ‘tweezing” of protein molecules or various length peptides from the plant materials and provide a high quality source to the host. Furthermore, all plant based feedstuff unavoidably contains some level of fungal pathogens or mycotoxin contamination. Such mycotoxins can have a dramatic negative impact on animal health and digestive physiology. Fungi are in fact the most abundant microorganism on planet earth and have been shown to exist in every growth environment in existence. Therefore, no matter how careful or capable the producer of fiber is, fungi are present in all plant based agricultural commodities. By including certain types of enzymes as listed above (and others) it has been convincingly demonstrated that several forms of mycotoxins (e.g. aflatoxin, deoxynivalenol, patulin, others) can be inactivated using certain oxidoreductases, lipases and/or proteases, respectively. Our products include such enzyme activities.
Lastly, there exists in nearly all feedstuff certain component ‘factors’ that limit or inhibit host animal digestive physiology. To break down such feedstuff anti-nutritional factors (such as arabinoxylans, phytate, certain beta-glucans….) we recommend inclusion of enzymes including xylanase, glucosidase, phytase and others. By converting or breaking down these factors in the digesta the host animal can more successfully and completely utilize the more abundant nutrients.
In summary: Enzyme supplementation will assist in managing the variable nutrient availability of seasonal feedstuff, may minimize the need to use antibiotics, better optimize animal feed efficiency, improve the overall and consistency of animal health, and, perhaps reduce both the volume and mineral based toxicity of animal waste.
Numerous species of naturally occurring microorganism (e.g. bacterial, yeast/mold types) are nominally found on (or even within) plant tissues. Although it is not mechanistically known exactly the absolute importance or a detailed and complete mode of action of this association, it has been suggested that such species afford competitive advantages to plants. When considering non-pathogenic microbial species that might provide a physiological impact on its host they are considered to be probiotic. Whether the impact is dependent on microbial viability is somewhat uncertain but evidence is accumulating that the microbes physiology (e.g. the ‘bag’ containing metabolites) is more critical to its impact than the ability to divide (grow or be viable).
Nevertheless, probiotic species, when added, have been convincingly shown to alter and often improve a number of aspects related to animal performance. In general such microorganisms have fairly consistently been shown to improve the digestion and essential nutrient availability, afford benefits in animal health by preventing pathogen proliferation and increase feed conversion. Probiotics supplement carry out these production benefits using several tactics.
Probiotic mode of action minimally includes enzymatic (those synthesized in the cytosol) conversion of certain feedstuff sugars to organic acids (to be used as energy) that can better condition the digestive apparatus (e.g. gut wall, caecum, other). They specifically produce a variety of secreted and extracellular acting enzymes that can aid in the breakdown of mostly inaccessible plant nutrients such as certain plant proteins again affording increased solubility and accessibility to gut wall uptake structures and gut microbes or degrade directly certain types of mycotoxins found in the feedstuff. Furthermore they produce extracellular compounds (e.g. colicins, bacteriocins, other small peptides) that can act directly on microbial pathogens as inhibitors. Also, by competing directly for gut located and available nutrients, probiotics can successfully out compete or reduce pathogenic organisms.
It is the above mentioned reason that we have included certain collections of probiotic species in our supplementation products. For instance, several Lactobacillus species have been shown to produce powerful anti-pathogen compounds when supplemented. In fact, it has been convincingly shown that these species produce many very important compounds included bacteriocins (several types and forms), gamma amino butyric acid, ornithine, several types of exopolysaccharides, mannitol, 3-phenyllactic acid, 2-hydroxyisocaproic acid, et cetera, that clearly can have a large and profound impact on animal physiology. The process of pathogen exclusion (for instance of Escherichia coli, or Clostridia ssp) has been very successfully accomplished using several types of Bacillus species in animals after a trial pathogen challenge.
Even though it is the intention of our products to be offered as a supplement daily, there are well documented cases where inoculation even infrequently can cause persistent changes in the microbial populations of the gut. The total numbers of species and relative populations have been lengthily altered when the correct types of probiotics are added. Our products provides a collection of other probiotics including Saccharomyces ssp and Propionibacterium ssp to both aid in the production of colicin molecules and enlarge pili structures to both increase nutrient adsorption and prevent pathogen binding to the gut well. Such prevention of binding will result in ‘pass through’ or rapid ‘wash out’ of such pathogens. It is also likely that inclusion of such beneficial probiotic species assists in the prevention of certain types of inflammation events in the gut wall.
There are very likely numerous additional interactions between the intestinal gut lining of their host and the physiology of probiotics. Evidence is plentiful proving that these interactions can and do support the immunological response of the animal to or against foreign antigen invasion. Such interactions although not fully defined or understood clearly point to a key aspect of the advantage of probiotic supplementation. In fact, it has been convincingly shown that probiotic supplementation increases the height of gut epithelium (specifically the villi) and therefore dramatically increases digestive interactive surface area. Probiotic interaction with the host’s T cells (and perhaps B cells) has been shown to greatly specify and activate the host’s immune response to foreign antigen presence. Such notions point to the fundamental impact of probiotics on the development of animal disease and pathogen resistance. The young animal’s gut development is most certainly assisted by allowing earlier maturation and increased feed conversion efficiency and the animal is better protected against pathogen invasion.
In summary: Probiotic supplementation will assist in managing nutrient balancing at time of feeding lower quality feed that possesses few adequate amounts of essential nutrients and apparently higher numbers of potentially dangerous pathogens. Better and more consistent health and performance is also expected largely because of the many metabolites that the probiotics synthesize and provide to the host animal and therefore contributes to the expected gains in management practice flexibility.
