Supports Gut Health During Weaning
Equine Probiotic Pellets
The hard wean from mom took a toll on his gut. He is on Probiotic Pellets and back to normal. This is now an everyday must for life to maintain his health.
SUPPORT DIGESTION & COLOSTRUM QUALITY
Equine Extra Strength Probiotic Pellets
Purchased for my broodmares during their gestation. All three ladies scarfed it up with no problem and two of these are the pickiest eaters you've ever seen.

Foal Kit
Ran across Full Bucket on Facebook. Read about how it works. Gave it to my 2 foals. It sure makes a difference in how they get started from day one. So glad I ordered it. And will stay with this company for all my babies. Thanks Full Bucket.

Foal Kick Start Paste
Foal kick start followed by 5 days of foal probiotics have made my foals thrive. Minimal to no foal diarrhea. They just look healthy and fill out much faster.
EARLY DIGESTIVE SUPPORT
Foal Probiotic Paste
Valo was born with a high SSA and severe diarrhea. He was treated with antibiotics the diarrhea wouldn’t subside for weeks despite interventions. He was maintaining his weight and was as energetic and healthy on the outside as a colt should be. When he was 4 weeks friend recommended Full Bucket Foal Probiotics and we placed the order. After one week of the probiotics his diarrhea cleared up and my worry was over! Full Bucket is the real deal.
BUILT FOR GI DISRUPTIONS
Equine BioClay 5-in-1 Paste
I purchased this product to go along with my foal starter kit. I only had to use a half dose, and it works!! You can't go wrong with this in your barn. If you have babies, BioClay Paste and the foal kit are must haves.
Foal Indicator Strips
Milk ph strips were amazingly accurate. Maiden mare and she had the foal within about 6-8 hours after PH dropped significantly. Foal is now almost a month old and has had a very strong healthy start. I'm sure all of the probiotics have had a part in that. Very thankful!

Foal Kick Start Paste
This is our second foaling season using the Foal Kick Start Paste, I love how it gives our babies that extra boost and no foal heat diarrhea at all! It is one small thing we can do to insure that our horses start out with a healthy gut and strong immune system.
EARLY DIGESTIVE SUPPORT

I love your Foal Probiotic paste. As a commercial Thoroughbred breeding farm we deal with hundreds of foals each year. I discovered your Foal Probiotic paste last year and started using it at the first sign of any digestive upset and it works faster than any other probiotic on the market.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does supporting gut health affect colostrum quality?
Studies show that supporting the mare’s gut and immune system during late pregnancy can contribute to stronger immune responses and higher quality colostrum for the newborn foal.
How do veterinarian developed supplements differ from standard products?
Veterinarian developed supplements are formulated using clinical experience and research to support horses during specific life stages such as breeding, foaling, and early development.
How does early gut support benefit newborn foals?
Studies show that early gut support helps establish a healthy digestive environment in newborn foals during the first critical days of life.
What does a foal need in the first 24 hours of life?
A newborn foal needs to stand, nurse, and receive adequate colostrum within the first few hours of life. Supporting the foal’s gut and immune system during this window is critical for long term health.
How do I support a foal's gut during the weaning transition?
Start adding FullBucket Probiotic Pellets to creep feed as early as possible — ideally before weaning happens. Seventy percent of the immune system comes from the GI tract. By the time you actually wean, that foal should already have a well-established microbiome and a gut that's ready to handle the transition to hard feed and forage on its own.
Should my broodmare be on a probiotic year-round?
Yes. A mare cycling back after foaling is nutritionally stressed. Her digestive health directly influences her ability to maintain body condition, produce milk, and support reproductive function. Mares that enter the breeding shed too thin often won't settle — the body simply won't prioritize reproduction when it's trying to keep itself stable. Daily probiotic and prebiotic support keeps that gut optimized through every stage.
