What Makes FORCO® Feed Supplement Digestive Fortifier Different?

FORCO LLC is located on the eastern plains of Colorado near the town of Flagler where it first got its start over 30 years ago in 1982. FORCO is a family business owned by David & Lynette Frank.

FORCO initially started in the hay business making a product that would help prevent mold and heating in higher moisture baled hay. Interestingly the name FORCO is derived from the initial hay product of forage (FOR) conditioner (CO). The hay product was a bit different than what the FORCO® Feed Supplement Digestive Fortifier is today though the concept is the same to improve feed.

At the same time David and Lynette were producing the FORCO hay product they owned and operated a race horse training stable for Thoroughbred and Quarter Horse race horses. In 1984 they started researching and studying the use of the ingredients in the hay product for use in a digestive supplement for horses.

An in-house product was later developed from this research and used on the horses in the training center. The changes and results in the race horses were remarkable! In 1986 FORCO Feed Supplement was introduced into the horse market. FORCO’s product marketing has always been about result-driven products with appreciative customers versus elaborate advertising and flashy promotions. The business has been built by customers using the product, observing changes in the horses, being impressed with the results and ultimately spreading the word about FORCO® Feed Supplement Digestive Fortifier.

How Is Forco Different From Other Yeast Products On The Market Today?

FORCO® products are one of a kind products. They are one of the few pure and all-natural products on the market. They are dependable, stable, and safe. They do not contain live microbial or live-cell yeast due to their perishability and inconsistent performance. They have no carriers or fillers and there are no supplemental vitamins, minerals or proteins like many other digestive products on the market today contain.

Most digestive aid products are effective only in the foregut or early portion of the digestion system. This is especially true of microbial products. FORCO® is unique because it is designed to be effective throughout the entire alimentary system from the mouth through the colon.

This is a critical consideration for horses because its the cecum portion of the hindgut that digests most of the forage fiber (hay and pasture) and carbohydrates where the colon then absorbs and/or synthesizes vitamins, minerals, volatile fatty acids and amino acids. Because it addresses the entire digestive process, horses respond to FORCO® when they do not respond to other digestive aids.

Can All Horses Benefit From FORCO?

Yes! FORCO Feed Supplement Digestive Fortifier is a product that addresses the problem of providing proper bacterial populations and fermentation in the horse’s digestive tract. FORCO uses highly effective yeast cultures and digestive enzymes in making FORCO Feed Supplement Digestive Fortifier. FORCO uses a formula that

My sweet 13 yo mare Dottie had started going down hill for no apparent reason. I would have a buffet of grass hay, alfalfa, and grain in front of her at all times and she would eat, a lot, but yet she continued to go down hill. I took her to several different veternarians. They ran blood tests on her and checked her over for other problems, but none of them could come up with a reason that she should be looking like she did. One vet even told me to take her home to die, because that was where the road she was on was leading to. I was heart broken. A good friend then mentioned that I should try a product called Forco. I had not heard of it before, but if she was recommending it, I knew there must be something to it. I started Dottie on Forco in January and you can see from the series of pictures below the difference it started to make for her! As bad as she was it took awhile, but my Forco dealer told me to stick with it. So stick with it I did, and a full 7 months later I have my Dottie back! I know now that Dottie will never be without her Forco! Thank you Forco!

How did FORCO® come to be?

FORCO LLC is located on the eastern plains of Colorado near the town of Flagler, where it first got its start over 30 years ago in 1982. FORCO is a family business owned by David & Lynette Frank. FORCO initially started in the hay business making a product to prevent mold and heating in higher-moisture baled hay — the name is derived from forage (FOR) conditioner (CO). At the same time, David and Lynette owned and operated a race horse training stable for Thoroughbred and Quarter Horse race horses. In 1984 they began researching the use of those hay-product ingredients as a digestive supplement for horses, and in 1986 FORCO Feed Supplement was introduced to the horse market.

How is FORCO different from other yeast products on the market?

FORCO products are described as one of the few pure and all-natural products on the market: dependable, stable, and safe. They do not contain live microbial or live-cell yeast (which the company describes as perishable and inconsistent). They have no carriers or fillers, and no supplemental vitamins, minerals, or proteins like many other digestive products contain.

Why does FORCO target the entire digestive system, not just the foregut?

Most digestive-aid products are effective only in the foregut. FORCO is designed to be effective throughout the entire alimentary system from the mouth through the colon. This matters for horses because the cecum portion of the hindgut digests most of the forage fiber (hay and pasture) and carbohydrates; the colon then absorbs and synthesizes vitamins, minerals, volatile fatty acids, and amino acids. Because FORCO addresses the entire digestive process, horses respond when they do not respond to other digestive aids.

The FORCO formula contains only pure fermentation products designed to promote normal microorganism and bacterial population in the digestive tract. The company uses highly effective yeast cultures and digestive enzymes; the formula began in research over 25 years ago and combines different cultures and enzymes for a synergistic effect — making the fermentative quality greater than if each ingredient were used individually.

How does FORCO market its products?

FORCO's marketing has always been about result-driven products with appreciative customers versus elaborate advertising and flashy promotions. The business has been built by customers using the product, observing changes in their horses, and ultimately spreading the word.
