Backed By Intensive Scientific Research

Banana Feeds Australia are proud to have completed a collaborative study with the University of Adelaide, to evaluate the benefits of supplementing our dried whole green banana supplement into the diet of equine.

 

The study was funded in equal contributions by Banana Feeds Australia and the SME Solutions Centre through the Fight Food Waste CRC.

 

This was a world first study of its type, despite historical evidence of green bananas being included in the diets of range of species, including equine. The research project bought over $100k of research into the equine industry, and had the support from many highly qualified nutritionists, veterinarians, and equine specialists in delivering the project.

 

We are grateful to the University of Adelaide, The South Australian Research and Development Institute, and the Fight Food Waste CRC for their professionalism, the independence, and their hard work to deliver what was a complex research project.

 

Through this project, we have investigated the outcomes of supplementing a horse with 100 grams per day, with the primary objectives of observing and recording beneficial outcomes and to confirm that its 100% natural origin is safe, and that it can assist in the management of EGUS. It was compared to the highest standard of medicative care for EGUS (Omeprazole) with the learnings to be adapted to improving better animal well-being overall.

 

We are delighted with the results and anticipate further R & D to investigate the other strong anecdotal benefits that customers have reported during the use of B-Complete. Although we are a small family business, and our funds are limited, we do look forward to further collaborations with the University of Adelaide, for an even deeper dive into the mode of mechanisms for these benefits.

 

We firmly believe that using B-Complete as a gut health supplement, for prevention rather than cure, for overall health rather than symptomatic treatment of ailments, provides the industry with a new, natural option for horse well-being.
