COCOPET COCONUT OIL 400GM

100% pure, natural food supplement for animals People have used coconut oil for generations as a health food and natural healer, with documented success. It can improve digestion, clear up skin problems, boost energy levels, aid in weight loss, fight infections, balance blood sugar and bring improvement to numerous other conditions. Those in the equine racing industry, and pet owners, are discovering it delivers the same benefits for their animals. * Reduction or elimination of body odour and bad breath * Healthier skin and elimination of rashes, itchiness * Shiny and healthy looking coats * Improved energy * Better digestion and reduction of excess weight * Relief for arthritic-like symptoms * Can reduce the instance of Salmonella in poultry Sceptics who don't believe claims made for the benefits of coconut oil say 'People can overcome just about any health problem simply because they believe the treatment they are using will help them'. This is a valid argument but it doesn't work with animals! Animals don't know that coconut oil in their food or applied on their skin is going to improve their health. Yet, it does. Obviously there are properties in coconut oil that bring about improved health for animals and humans. Coconut oil digests more easily than other oils and is converted into energy rather than body fat stimulating metabolism It has unique antiviral, antibacterial and antifungal properties It provides cardio-vascular support Coconut oil is well tolerated causing animals no harm, unlike many drugs and other treatments Coconut oil is stable and resistant to rancidity so can be stored for long periods of time It can be used topically for treating cuts, stings, bites and infections

EQUINE COCONUT OIL 3KG

Coconut oil is unlike any other vegetable oil fed to horses, and may provide the following unique benefits: Increased muscle glycogen storage Saturated fats such as those found in coconut oil are more effective at enhancing muscle glycogen storage than the unsaturated fats found in other vegetable oils (e.g. RICE BRAN, CORN, FLAX, SOY BEAN). Anti-viral and anti-bacterial protection for gut health and wellbeing; could assist with ulcers, acidosis, colic, poor condition and lameness. Also improves appearance of coat. Ready energy, coconut oil contains MCTs (medium chain triglycerides) which are easier to digest, absorb and convert to muscle energy, unlike long-chain fatty acids found in other vegetable oils. MCTs are absorbed directly into the portal blood and transported to the liver, whereas polyunsaturated oils are transported to the liver via the lymphatic system. Non-heating Feed, Oil provides a source of cool energy resulting in non behaviour. Further information for horse owners Rancid oils reduce the palatability of a feed and interfere with the utilisation of fat-soluble vitamins and may cause damage to muscle organ tissue if consumed. Some of the MCT (Lauric, Capric and Caproic acids) in coconut oil possess anti-bacterial and anti-viral properties. These fatty acids may assist the horse's immune system in fighting off viral and bacterial challenges, leading to improved overall gut health and a reduction in ulcers and laminitis, and overall wellbeing. Non-heating Energy Source fizzing generally comes from high starch/grain diets where there is a risk of starch overload into the hindgut. The risk of starch overload can be minimised by replacing some grain in the feed with oil, to provide energy. Coconut oil provides a source of cool energy. Oil is very energy dense and yields about 2 1/4 times more energy than starch or protein. This may be useful for a number of reasons including reduction in gut fill and feed intake required to sustain maintenance and exercise. Dysbiosis (Leaky gut syndrome) is a gut disorder commonly affecting horses fed high levels of sugar and starch (NSC or non-structural carbohydrate) from pastures, grain and grain-based feeds. Feeding natural products such as medium chain triglycerides (MCT) that are reported to have possible anti-microbial actions is thought to preserve gut health. Coconut oil is a functional food, defined as a food that provides a health b equine enefit over and beyond the basic nutrients. Coconut Oil FOOD SUPPLEMENT FOR HORSES Equine Muscle Disorder horses suffering from tying up need low-carb/non-carb energy diets, so partial replacement of grains with oil in the diet may aid in the management of the condition. Glycogen (is the form in which animals store carbohydrates in their bodies, for later use as energy) horses are able to utilise oil for energy during submaximal/ anaerobic activity. This means delay of the onset of fatigue and an increased capacity for high-intensity exercise. Therefore coconut oil provides a ready source of energy for use during exercise. Mud Fever/Greasy Heel due to the anti-microbial effects of the MCT (medium chain triglicerides), coconut oil aids in the healing process and may kill bacteria and prevent re-infection.

When combined with other vitamins (Vit PP, Vit Bc, Vit B12) these two factors play vital roles in the synthesis of tough, healthy horn. HOOF FORMULA contains an optimal complex of vitamins for horses with skin, coat and horn problems. HOOF FORMULA contains a high concentration of calcium to correct possible imbalances in this mineral's intakes. It also contains optimal proportions of other minerals that are indispensable for a horse's health, i.e., magnesium, potassium and phosphorus. Still, these elements cannot play their part without the addition of just the right amounts of trace elements, most of which are essential cofactors. So, HOOF FORMULA supplies significant amounts of copper, zinc, cobalt and iodine. HOOF FORMULA'S original composition makes it a unique and specific high quality nutritional supplement that speeds hoof growth and improves horn quality.

CORTAFLEX HA POWDER 454GM

For the maintenance of healthy Joints Wear and tear to the joints is a normal function and will occur naturally with age, but our domestication of the horse has increased the stresses on the joints resulting in joint related diseases being the biggest cause of lameness and the most common reason for a horse to come out of work. Constant pounding on artificial, hard or heavy ground is very demanding on joints - even hacking can cause abnormal wear and tear, metal shoes increase concussion and confinements of stables increases pressure. Feeding a proven joint supplement can help to redress the balance and support healthy joints. Chondroitin or Glucosamine? Chondroitin and Glucosamine are produced naturally by the body and aid in repair and maintenance of the joint tissue. Joint cartilage is not directly connected to any blood vessels so, all of the nutrients that the cartilage needs for good health have to be small enough to pass through cellular walls to benefit the joint tissue. Cortaflex contains the microsized key active isolates of Chondroitin and Glucosamine, providing the body with both the building blocks and the stimulus for its own production of Chondroitin and Glucosamine. Cortaflex and Hyaluronic Acid Cortaflex is now fortified with Hyaluronic Acid (HA) for even greater benefit to the joints, particularly for hard working horses. HA is a major component of synovial fluid, which is essential for providing the joints with lubrication and the cartilage with nutrients. HA has traditionally been derived from type II Collagen sourced from Rooster Comb, which has a high molecular weight of up to six million Daltons.This form of HA has been shown to be very effective when injected but is not considered to achieve a good rate of absorption when taking orally due to the large molecular size. The Hyaluronic Acid used in Cortaflex is of vegetable origin and has a molecular weight of less then 50,000 Daltons. It is believed that this is more readily absorbed, providing Hyaluronic Acid to the joints in a non-invasive way. Clinical evidence separates the Innovator from the Imitator Clinical Study Cortaflex is the only equine joint supplement to have been clinically proven in a double blind study of equine tarsal joint movement. The rigorous trial was conducted by the College of Veterinary Medicine at Michigan State University, one of the leading equine research institutes in the world. Unlike the more subjective research approaches in the majority of equine trials, the study used the most advanced kinetic analysis techniques to objectively and accurately measure the horses gait. These techniques, based on video and force plates, unquestionably proved the effects of supplementation. The results were then presented by the author Dr Hilary Clayton BVMS, PhD, MRCVS, to the American Association of Equine Practitioners (AAEP)) and published in the conference proceedings.

This is why horses get touchy, irritable, distracted (like ADD) and panicky. When magnesium is lacking horses certainly can't think straight! Calcium is vital for contraction and magnesium for muscle release. Horses are 80% muscle including some very large ones like the long back muscles and the hamstrings. This is why horses can get short-stepping and choppy and sometimes even uncomfortable to ride. When they are short on magnesium their muscles become tight and tense. This inhibits their movement and properlytherefore their performance. The presence of boron is essential for calcium and magnesium to operate properly and will reduce their excretion by up to 40%.

A blend of top quality vitamins and minerals, achieving outstanding results for horses and ponies in New Zealand. Vitamins and Minerals are also best replenished daily as they all have an important role in maintaining optimum health and behaviour. From Years of experience we have found that the best strategy for solving problems is to firstly ensure you are feeding the horse properly, then see what problems you have left after a month or two. You will see such huge improvements you will hardly believe it. Benefits of Organic Minerals When we talk about organic minerals this doesn't mean 'made without using sprays'. It means the mineral is already attached to an amino acid and therefore they are ready for immediate absorption They are not available to attach to other minerals thereby interfering with their absorption. This doesn't mean that inorganic is 'bad'. Some of these forms are beneficial too for certain processes. Major advantages of Feeding Premium New-Zealand-Horse Minerals: They can be combined with plain feeds like chaffs, beets, oats and barley which is an economical way to feed your horse. Contains ALL the anti-oxidants: Vit A,C,E & Selenium , iron, copper, chromium, zinc, manganese and MSM are all present in their organic forms. Contains MSM. Horses don't utilise inorganic sulphur very well but do respond very well to it's organic form: MSM Organic Iron, being bound to an amino acid is not therefore available to attach to other elements that it shouldn't such as copper, zinc and Vit E. Organic Manganese may help to convert free radicals into a form which can be readily excreted. Organic Chromium, along with magnesium has an important role in metabolising glucose. Organic Copper helps with calcium absorption and true coat colour Organic Zinc helps with hundreds of functions including building strong hooves and great haircoat Contains excellent levels of ALL the Vitamins : A, all B's including Inisitol, C, D, E & K

PROVIDE IT XTRA CAL 3.5KG

A blend of organic calcium with essential co-factors (magnesium, boron, phosphorous and Vit D) to ensure efficient absorption. Additional calcium is required for: Pregnant mares to build the skeleton (and other tissues) of the unborn foal Lactating mares especially until the foal is about 3 months old. Young foals take virtually all their nutrition from their mother's milk. For instance if Mum doesn't receive enough calcium from her diet then it is dragged out of her bones to supply the needs of the growing foal. This is detrimental to her long term health and means the foal may not get all he requires to be strong and healthy Horses that are working hard suffer a lot of 'wear and tear' and can lose calcium in their sweat Oxalates present in certain grasses, (especially kikuyu in New Zealand) bind up the calcium making it unavailable to the horse. The organic calcium in Xtra Cal is already bound so cannot be bound by oxalates and is therefore available to the horse. NB Pregnant and lactating mares that are also grazing oxalate grasses are very vulnerable to calcium deficiency.

EQUI CALMA 2KG

A magnesium supplement designed to address magnesium deficiency in horses. New Zealand pastures are generally low in magnesium, particularly in the spring and autumn. Pastures where potassium fertilisers have been used, such as dairy pastures, tend to have lower magnesium levels. Potassium also reduces the uptake of magnesium in the horse’s gut. One of the early symptoms of magnesium deficiency in horses is that they become more excitable and harder to handle. Supplementing with magnesium works quickly in bringing blood magnesium levels up, resulting in more settled and calmer behaviour.

VETPRO VITAMIN SUPPLEMENT 1KG

A cherry flavoured vitamin and amino acid supplement containing all the essential B group vitamins, vitamin A, vitamin C and the essential amino acids lysine and methionine. The B group Vitamins are essential for the efficient conversion of muscular glycogen to ATP. They are synthesized by the micro-organisms in the large intestine, at levels that generally meet daily requirements. However when horses are in training, these requirements increase significantly- added to this – the digestion of high grain diets leads to a decrease in B vitamins production due to a fall in the pH in the large intestine. Consequently supplementation of B group vitamins is necessary for horses in training and on high grain diets. Because of their water solubility, B vitamins cannot be stored in the body therefore supplementation needs to be on a daily basis. Equine Vitamin Supplement contains all the essential B group vitamins plus vitamins A and C at levels to meet the daily demands of training. Vitamin A is not manufactured in the horse so must be available in the diet. It is necessary for all growth processes, important in reproductive performance, also necessary for antibodies and resistance to diseases. Vitamin C plays an important role in the maintenance of a competent immune system and in the formulation of collagen, an important component of cartilage and tendons. Lysine and methionine are important essential amino acids, the definition essential means they cannot be synthesized by the body. Available sizes; 1kg, 2kg, and 10kg. Active ingredients per kg; Vitamin A 3.2g Lysine 5.0g Vitamin B1 3.5g Methionine 5.0g Vitamin B2 3.6g Folic Acid 1.6g Vitamin B6 2.5g Choline Chloride 10.0g Vitamin B12 20.0mg Niacin 4.0g Calcium Pantothenate 2.5g Vitamin C 16.6g

VETPRO IRON3 SUPPLEMENT 1LT

Equine Iron3 Is a total haemolytic supplement. Horses on grain and hay based diets with limited access to quality grazing can have a shortfall of up to 600mg of iron per day. Also horses in hard work and stressful conditions, or with heavy worm burden or blood loss, will be in need of haemolytic supplementation. Oral iron supplementation is preferable to injectable as it avoids the risk of overdosing and liver damage as the digestive processes of the horse will control the actual amount of iron absorbed. Equine Iron 3 supplement is a caramel flavoured formulation of three important haemolytic ingredients readily absorbable iron, cobalt and copper. Ironmaintains the horse’s iron reserves. It is necessary in order to maintain the haemoglobin component of blood, which is responsible for carrying oxygen throughout the body. The ability to carry and deliver oxygen has a direct influence on energy transfer in the muscles and therefore influences performance in the equine athlete. Cobalt assists the formation of B12 which works with folic acid to maintain red blood cell formation. Copper facilitates the absorption of iron and assists in the formation of haemoglobin in the red blood cells. Equine Iron 3 supplement can be mixed with a damp feed or syringed onto the back of the tongue. Because iron can interfere with absorption of some vitamins, avoid feeding at the same time as a vitamin supplement, especially Vitamin E., Active ingredients: Ferrous Gluconate 5.0% Copper Sulphate 0.5% Cobalt Sulphate 0.025%

VETPRO FOUR FEET 500GM

Cracked and brittle hooves are common amongst performance horses. Poor moisture retention combined with poor hoof growth are the cause of the problem. Horses end up having difficulty holding a shoe and are predisposed to quarter cracks, seedy toe and foot infections. Prevention starts with increasing moisture retention followed by promoting hoof growth. Nutrition affects hoof growth, hoof size is directly influenced by diet. Horses fed an optimum diet have an 80% increase in hoof-sole border size compared to those fed a limited diet. Research has shown that the minerals zinc, magnesium, calcium and sulphur, along with Vitamin A and Biotin are all necessary for the development of a normal hoof. Since horses are often not fed an optimum diet due to availability of good pasture and a correct balance of feed, it is necessary to feed a specifically formulated supplement which ensures that these vital ingredients are in the diet. Equine Four Feet contains zinc, sulphur, menthionine and biotin, all essential components of strong healthy hooves, in a gelatin and yeast base. Gelatin contains all essential amino acids except tryptophan. Although difficult to exactly quantify, some research has been able to suggest that for effective improvement of hoof quality an amount of 15 mg per day of Biotin needs to be fed, most grains are very low in Biotin with the exception of maize. The same dose size provides 9gms of methionine. Methionine is essential in producing cystine. This is present in Keratin which is the protein that the hoof wall is primarily made of. Hoof improvement is a long term process and supplementation needs to be continued for a minimum of three months on a daily basis. Hoof Oils cannot improve the structure or the development of the hoof, they merely help retain or seal in the moisture in the hoof, thus preventing some drying. At the suggested dose rate of 30gms Equine Four Feet provides 15 mg of Biotin and 9gms of methionine, 150 mg Zinc and 900 mg sulphur.

VETPRO DIGEST-RITE SPORT 2KG

Digest-Rite Performance is a nutritional supplement especially formulated for performance horses. It contains a combination of prebiotics, digestive enzymes and toxin binders to enhance digestion of grain based diets and at the same time helps maintain a healthy digestive tract. It also binds harmful mycotoxins that often contaminate grains or hay and endophyte ryegrass (known to create the condition called Ryegrass Staggers). To meet the demands of training, competition and racing, performance horses need access to a concentrated energy source. Grains such as oats, barley and maize are ideally suited because of their high starch content. Because these grains are not part of their natural diet, horses are limited in the amount of starch they are able to digest at one time. If too much grain is fed at once, or if the passage of ingested grain through the small intestine is too rapid, undigested starch will pass into the large intestine where it will undergo bacterial fermentation. Hindgut fermentation of starch, especially in the absence of adequate fibre (grass and hay) intake, can lead to a condition known as hindgut acidosis. The acids produced by the fermentation process can affect performance, causing problems like stressful behaviour, over-excitability and muscle tye-up. Feeding a product that will enhance carbohydrate digestion has obvious advantages for the performance horse. Add to this the advantages of a product that has the ability to bind harmful mycotoxins, such as those from mould and endophyte fungus, it is easy to see why Digest-Rite should be part of every performance horses diet. Digest-Rite Performance is more than just a simple digestive additive - like those containing live yeast cultures. Digest-Rite Performance contains pre-biotics (mannan oligosaccharides), digestive enzymes amylase and glucanase), rice bran oil and silicated oxides. It has a four way action: 1. By slowing the passage of food through the small intestine, allowing more time for the horses own digestive enzymes to work. 2. By enhancing digestion through the inclusion of enzymes that can break down sugar and starch. 3. The inclusion of the pre-biotics helps maintain a functional gut wall and ensures that nutrients are absorbed efficiently following digestion. 4. The silicated oxides bind harmful toxins and once bound they cannot be absorbed and are passed out in the horse faeces, also helping to prevent the absorption of the harmful by- products of hindgut fermentation. Digest-Rite should be fed to horses on high grain diets or when pasture conditions increase the likelihood of nutritional problems occurring.It should also be added if there is any likelihood that the hay being fed has developed any mould during storage. Itcontains no prohibited substances. Daily Dose Rate: Add 25gm per 1kg of grain/grain mix Digest-Rite SPORT formulation is available for horses on mainly pasture diets.

VETPRO MUSCLE-MAX 2KG

Muscle Max is a feed supplement formulated to maximise the efficiency of muscle metabolism. It does this in two ways, by improving lean muscle mass and by reducing the effects of post exercise muscle fatigue. A large part of the daily energy requirement of the equine athlete is used by the skeletal muscles to power the contractions that give the horse its attributes of speed, endurance and strength. The energy from feed is stockpiled in the muscles in the form of glycogen. Through a chain of biochemical reactions within the muscle cells, the glycogen is oxidised to release Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) the chemical energy source used to power the muscle cells. The oxidation process requires large amounts of oxygen, hence the need for an efficient blood supply. The waste products from this energy burning process include water, carbon dioxide, ammonia, lactic acid and free radicals, all of which have the potential to reduce muscular efficiency. Free radicals can cause serious damage to the muscle cell membrane. It is these free radicals, in conjunction with the waste ammonia and lactic acid, that many equine sport scientists believe are responsible for muscle fatigue, post exercise muscle soreness and muscle tye-up. Antioxidants are substances that have the ability to inactivate the free radicals within the cell. There are many nutritional antioxidants, mostly found in plants. Muscle-Max is an antioxidant supplement that contains rice-bran oil. Rice bran oil is a rich source of glycerides, free fatty acids, phospholipids and glycolipids. Its principle antioxidants are the tocopherals, tocotrienols and gamma oryzanol, as well as inositol, phytic acid and choline. Vitamin E is one of the Tocopherols found in Muscle-Max, but it is the tocotrienols that are 50 times more potent than Vitamin E, that makes rice bran oil such a potent antioxidant formulation. Besides being an antioxidant, gamma oryzanol is a plant sterol, giving it anabolic properties. Studies in which gamma oryzanol supplements were included in diets of both human and equine athletes over a 6-8 week period resulted in improved muscle to fat ratios, along with improved appetite. Muscle-Max also contains chromium picolinate. Chromium is not an antioxidant, but it does play an important role in increasing muscle energy utilization, while at the same time lowering blood lactic acid levels during exercise. Recent research in the USA has shown that racehorses in full training supplemented daily with 5mgs of organic chromium had 13% lower blood lactate levels after intense exercise than the control horses used in the studies. Studies with human athletes have shown that daily supplementation with organic chromium increases muscle gain and reduces body fat more than physical exercise alone. In summary Muscle-Max combines the antioxidant and anabolic properties of rice bran oil and along with chromium picolinate helps to reduce muscle fatigue and post exercise muscle damage. It alsto create muscle gain and a reduction in body fat. It is a 100% natural product that can be used right up to and during competition. It is formulated with an apple flavour that horses find palatable.

VETPRO BONE BUILDER 1KG

Bone Builder is a feed supplement formulated to help increase bone density in young horses. It contains Silicon, Magnesium, Boron and Lysine and is designed to be fed in conjunction with Vetpro High Performance Mineral Supplement which provides Calcium, Phosphorus, Copper and Zinc. For a long time it was considered that to have achieve stronger bone all that was necessary was to feed more Calcium. Research has conclusively proven that increasing dietary calcium above recommended dietary levels has no effect on bone density. What research has shown is the important role that Silicon, Magnesium and Boron play in bone mineralisation. The rate of skeletal growth in young horses occurs faster than weight gain. By 12 months of age a horse can attain 94% of its mature height and 65% of its mature weight. Total bone mineral content (BMC) lags behind skeletal growth. At 12 months of age bone mineralisation is 76% complete. Maximum BMC is not reached until a horse is 6 years old. The period when young bones need to be strong is often the time when they are subjected to the most stress. A horse traveling at race speeds is subjected to forces three times its own bodyweight. Maximising bone density is important in improving bone strength and thereby preventing bone injuries. By paying careful attention to mineral supplementation, bone density and skeletal durability can be improved. Bone mineralisation begins during the last three months of pregnancy. At this stage fetal bones are cartilage models of the adult bones. The skeleton of the newborn foal contains only 17% of the adult bone mineral content. The first 12 months are an important nutritional period as bone mineralisation proceeds at an accelerated rate. The importance of Calcium and Phosphorus in bone development is well known. Less is known about the importance of Magnesium, Boron and Silicon. Magnesium is essential for the formation of the collagen matrix and bone mineralization. Around 60% of the Mg in the body is found in bone tissue. Human studies have shown a positive correlation between bone mineral density and dietary magnesium. Low magnesium is associated with reduced activity by osteoblasts and osteoclasts - the cells involved in bone remodeling. Boron is a trace element that up until recently has received very little attention. Human research indicates that boron aids the uptake of Calcium and Magnesium into bone as well as increasing vitamin D3 levels, important for bone mineral metabolism. Silicon is an essential nutrient for normal body function and one of the most common, but most of the silicon found in nature is in a sand form and is unable to be absorbed by the body. Plants can take Silicon up from the soil so consequently the forage and grains that horses consume contain small amounts. Silicon is also involved in the formation of the collagen matrix. Experiments showed Silicon deficient diets resulted in lower bone collagen levels, resulting in abnormal bone growth. The same series of experiments also showed that Silicon supplementation increased the rate of bone mineralisation as well as increasing the Glycosaminoglycan levels in cartilage, important in the prevention and treatment of degenerative joint disease. Studies carried out at the University of Texas underlined the importance of Silicon in maximizing bone density in young racehorses. In these studies horses on Silicon supplemented diets were able to train and race for longer and sustained less bone injuries than non-supplemented horses. This was attributed to a reduction in bone absorption and an overall improvement in bone density. It was noted that Silicon supplementation had no effect on growth rate, therefore was not connected with any risk of growth related diseases like OCD. Bone Builder contains a highly absorbable form of Silicon, along with Magnesium, Boron and the essential growth promoting Amino Acid Lysine. Each 30g dose delivers 9.48g Lysine, 5.25g Magnesium, 30.5mg Silicon and 25ppm Boron. Bone Builder should be fed to weanlings, yearlings and 2 year olds in training. Older horses (36 months upwards) do not benefit from supplementation as the collagen matrix has developed fully. It should be fed to broodmares during the last three months of pregnancy. When fed during lactation the levels in the milk increase, resulting in Silicon being available to the foal. Recommended daily dose rates: Foals & Weanlings: 15gms Yearlings & 2 year olds: 30gms Pregnant (last trimester) & Lactating Broodmares: 30gms

VETPRO ELECTROLYTES 1KG

The muscular activity associated with training and competition results in a rapid increase in body temperature. The only way for horses to lose this excess body heat is via sweat production; in fact efficient muscle function is dependent on it. Sweat also represents the major route of fluid and electrolyte loss in horses, taking with it significant amounts of water and electrolytes from the body. Electrolyte composition of sweat Chloride 7gms/litre Sodium 4gms/litre Potassium1.3gms/litre Magnesium.13gms/litre Calcium .25gms/litre Phosphorus.03gms/litre Obviously these electrolytes must be replaced as quickly and efficiently as possible, either in the diet or by oral administration. We talk about the Dietary Electrolyte Balance (DEB) as being the total amount of electrolytes but a standard type mixed diet is usually not enough to meet the required DEB. To demonstrate this point, consider a basic diet of 6kg Grass/Hay + 3kg Oats + 3kg Sweet feed with no added electrolyte supplement. If we analyse this diet it equates to: Actual Requirement Crude Protein 1200gm 1300 gm Digestible Energy 30mCals 30mCals Potassium 145gms 55gms Sodium 18gms 42gms Calcium 60gms 47gms Magnesium 19gms 22gms Chloride 46gms 80gms This diet has a low DEB with Chloride, Magnesium and Sodium levels being low. Potassium is rarely deficient in diets based on grass and hay. An increase in the work of a horse will create a requirement for an increase in electrolyte supplementation. Horses do not store sodium, potassium or chloride from one day to the next. Therefore electrolytes need to be adjusted according to the work level of the horse and the environmental conditions. Working in hot conditions will create a higher rate of sweat and therefore a need for greater replacement. When not in work the horse needs less, if over supplemented, it will increase water intake and urine loss. A correctly formulated Electrolyte supplement should contain Chloride and Sodium at a ratio of approximately 2:1 as well as Calcium and Magnesium at low levels. The equine kidney has developed to handle forage diets which are high in Potassium and low in Sodium. As long as the kidneys are functioning properly and the DEB is correct, they will regulate and maintain the bodys Electrolyte levels. The idea of acid and alkaline Electrolyte supplements is now regarded by equine physiologists as unnecessary. Horses can develop a mild metabolic acidosis after intense exercise and may develop a metabolic alkalosis in situations of heavy sweat loss. In both these cases so long as there is sufficient Chloride in the DEB then the horses kidneys will sort out its own acid/base balance. Vetpro Equine Electrolytes are a neutral PH composition. It is difficult to assess a horses Electrolyte status from a blood test, samples of blood and urine need to be taken at the same time. Consult your veterinarian for this.

VETPRO B-BOOST 30ML

B group vitamins are essential for the conversion of chemical energy that occurs within the muscle fibres. Under grazing conditions, the daily requirement of B Vitamins is produced by the micro-organisms in the large intestine. High grain intake lowers the intestinal PH with a resultant drop in vitamin B production. A diet low in B Vitamins has shown to have an effect on athletic performance. Human studies have shown that when athletes were restricted to less than half of their daily requirement for vitamins B1, B2 & B6, a significant drop in performance occurred. Similar studies in equine athletes have shown that supplementing with vitamin B1 prior to competition improved performance by reducing the accumulation of lactic acid in the muscles.Horses in training benefit from B Vitamin supplementation for several reasons:; 1) The production of ATP increases with exercise, therefore so does the requirement for B vitamins. 2) Digestion of high grain diets leads to a fall in the pH of the large intestine, which in turn alters the microflora population. The result is a net decrease in B vitamin production. 3) Studies have shown that supplementing Vitamin B1 (Thiamine) in the diet has the effect of reducing post exercise lactic acid levels. B Boost paste contains high levels of all the essential B group vitamins in one single oral dose syringe. It also contains Betaine, which is converted to dimethylglycine in the liver. DMG reduces lactic acid build-up during strenuous exercise. B Boost contains no prohibited substances so is safe to use prior to competition and should be administered 12 to 24 hours prior to competition, or on a regular basis for poor appetite, or to assist recovery after sickness.

VETPRO QUICK-LYTE 30ML

The intense muscular activity associated with training and competition, whether it is racing, eventing, show jumping endurance or dressage, results in an increase in body heat. The only way a horse can get rid of this heat is through sweat loss. Sweat also represents the main route of fluid and electrolyte loss, between 5 and 10 litres per hour can be lost during an event or race. Rapid replacement of the fluid and electrolytes is important for a quick recovery. Failure to adequately replace lost electrolytes will lead to dehydration. Saline drenching has always been the traditional method of ensuring rapid electrolyte replacement. Although effective, this method is often inconvenient and expensive as it usually requires the services of a veterinarian. Now there is an alternative to saline drenching. Quick-lyte paste is a combination of electrolytes and chelated minerals formulated in a single dose syringe. One 30ml dose syringe replaces the electrolytes lost in 2 litres of sweat. Because the electrolytes in Quick-lyte are present in a highly absorbable form, they are rapidly absorbed from the horse’s stomach. Quick-lyte uses a patented carrier that ensures the stability of the electrolytes and minerals during storage and also gives the product its free-flow properties that make it easy to use. After taking Quick-lyte, horses have a strong desire to drink so it is important that fresh drinking water is made available. This makes Quick-lyte ideal to use before and after long float trips. How often do you hear of horses who won’t drink when they travel away from home?, Quicklyte will trigger a response to drink and often then to eat. Some indications for using Quick-lyte include:; # 8 to 12 hours before intense exercise # 1 to 2 hours after intense exercise # Regularly during hot summer months # When horses won’t take electrolytes in their feed # Endurance Recovery Stops # After transportation Quick-lyte also contains Iron Gluconate as well as Zinc, Copper and Cobalt chelates, all essential minerals for red blood cell production. Chelated minerals are more easily absorbed than ordinary minerals as they do not compete with each other for absorption sites across the gut wall. In addition, chelated means the presence of iron in Quick-lyte has no effect on adsorption of the minerals. Quick-lyte is available in single dose 30ml syringes. Active Ingredients per dose: Potassium 3776mg Sodium 2832mg Chloride 7791mg Calcium 250mg Magnesium 78mg Iron 17mg Zinc 3mg Copper 2.8mg Cobalt 0.42mg VitaminE 150iu

Keep food containers clean and provide clean fresh water. Keep out of direct sunlight, store between 10-25 C Glucosamine for Joints: Glucosamine Sulphate is one of the building blocks of connective tissues and fluids. Chondroitin for Joints: Chondroitin Sulphate originates from Shark Cartilage and is an important building block in the maintenance of joint health. This is because it gives cartilage its elasticity and cushioning ability. Chondroitin sulphates are found in the cartilage and connective tissues of animals, and are part of the family of glycosaminoglycans, which are produced naturally in the bodies of animals. Biotin for Hooves: Like all B-vitamins, biotin is water soluble so it is not stored in body fats. Since it cannot be stored, it must be present in the daily diet. Biotin is essential in your horse’s body for the production of fatty acids, glycogen production and for the production of proteins. Biotin deficiencies cause skin lesions, sparse hair growth, dry, scaly skin, and brittle, cracking hooves.

NUPAFEED LIQUID CALMER 1LT

Nupafeed Liquid Horse Calmer is a unique anti-stress formula that comprises of the MAHVET (magnesium aspartate hydrochloride) formula. This is an organic magnesium compound, whose origin is patented throughout the world. Erratic behavior is often caused by an increase of the release of the stress hormone adrenaline, which can cause the calcium- magnesium balance in the cells to be displaced, leading to excess calcium in the system. This overloads the nerve and muscle cells which in turn allows the build up of tension and anxiety. Nupafeed Liquid Calmer works by maintaing a healthy calcium-magnesium balance, and is proven to maintain a normal release of adrenaline. Suitable for use in all highly strung and nervous animals at home, in competition, for traveling, clipping, animals on box rest. Nupafeed Liquid Calmer can be introduced to the animals’ diet by directly adding to the normal feeding regime. Nupafeed Calmer Top-up Syringes are available for especially stressful situations. Because the compound is totally safe it allows the proportions to be adjusted enabling owners to find a level that suits each individual animal. Nupafeed Liquid Calmer is a highly effective calmer that is economical to use.
