How Hydra-flex CARE offers the best supplement for stiff horses:

A lack of joint lubricant combined with general wear and tear results in poor cartilage health. This causes remodelling, bone spurs and degenerative joint disease in horses.

When cartilage begins to deteriorate, movement becomes stiff with joints become inflamed and sore. Eventually, this friction results in the joint ends eroding away to the point where cartilage disappears and the joint ends touch. This bone on bone is also known as osteoarthritis causing the animal pain, inflammation and reduced quality of life.

Hydra-flex CARE the best supplement for stiff horses is a premium specialised supplement for aging joints and joint stiffness. It can also be used as a preventative to maintain great joint health. Hydra-flex Care contains high strength ingredients to encourage healthy cartilage and synovial fluid as well as providing comfort and ease to movement. Hydra-flex contains 100 % active ingredients and is free of fillers.

Benefits of Hydra-flex CARE:

Scientifically proven ingredients and levels:

Glucosamine benefits at oral administration of 10,000 or more is demonstrated to be an integral part of helping to strengthen, maintain and protect cartilage (ref: American Journal of Veterinary Research Medicine, 2008). It also demonstrated in a study to reduce inflammation inside the joint capsule on young horses after joint trauma.  (ref: Journal of Animal Health 2016, 94: 3294-3302).

MSM benefits supports muscular, skeletal and connective tissues as well as controls inflammation in the body. High levels of MSM at a rate of 20 grams daily was demonstrated in clinical assessments to effectively reduce inflammation in horses. The pathway is not entirely known but it is thought sulphur lowers inflammation be lending a donor (Sulphur) molecule that is used in the pathways for internal reactions. MSM also has a solvent action enhancing the effect of substances.

Hyaluronic acid benefits also known as HA is a primary component of the synovial fluid providing a slip surface. This “slip” helps to lessen friction on cartilage surfaces and with its very hygroscopic properties, it binds many times its on weight in water also keeping the cartilage hydrated and healthy. Cartilage bathes in the joint capsule and it is here where it absorbs its nutrition from the body.

High molecular weight hyaluronic acid is the only form that should be used for oral consumption in horses. This form is superior to low molecular weight HA as cell receptors recognise this as being similar to native HA (the HA the body naturally manufactures). This is proven by science to be the best absorbed and as a result is the hyaluronic acid of choice in equine joint supplements (ref: Journal of applied Nutrition, volume 54, 1, 2004), Therefore, high molecular weight HA is the only hyaluronic acid that provides proven joint benefits. Beware of low molecular weight hyaluronic acids, as this is inferior and cannot be regarded to provide the same joint benefits.

Collagen Peptides benefits proven by science to be the most absorbable form of collagen encouraging healthy bone, cartilage, skin, tendons and ligaments and repair.

Clinical studies have been impressive showing regeneration of damaged cartilage cells.

As collagen is lost when the body ages this has becomes an important component in maintaining joint as well as connective tissue health.

Devils claw benefits a highly concentrated form offers high potency at a low dose for more protection of joints.

Scientific studies show devils claw extract to be highly effective as an anti-inflammatory and relief ingredient by blocking the pain mediators that cause and initiate sore, inflamed joints.

Inflammation is damaging and therefore it is important this is controlled.

The process of inflammation releases enzymes which weaken tissue and cartilage, accelerating damage to cells and pain and swelling.

Why use Hydra-flex Care the best supplement for stiff horses?

Hydra-flex Care the best supplement for stiff horses! contains a potent blend of ingredients to help nourish joints and increase the comfort and flexion in your horse.

Much like us horses become stiff and arthritic as they age from either a joint trauma or due to wear and tear over time.

It is important for their quality of life to provide comfort to your horse to keep them active and happy.

Sunflower Seed 2KG (For Horses and Hook Beaked Birds)

For HORSES:

Sunflower seeds have become commonplace in feed rooms. They are a rich source of fat that may promote skin health, a shiny coat, and perhaps even weight gain in horses.

Are all sunflower seeds the same? Of course not. Classic sunflower seeds, like those consumed at sporting events and used in the bakery industry, are non-oil seeds that aren’t typically fed to horses. Black oil sunflower seeds, are more commonly fed to horses due to their higher oil content, better digestibility, and lower cost. Black oil Sunflower seeds have thinner hulls that are held more tightly to the kernel when compared to the thicker, non-oil seeds. Thinner hulls make Black oil sunflower seeds easier for horses to chew and digest.

Are sunflower seeds safe for horses? The answer is yes, although ideal feeding rates have not been studied. Small amounts (2-4 oz/day, about 56-133 grams) are typically consumed by horses without complications and can provide some supplemental calories. Black oil sunflower seeds are even included as an ingredient in some commercial horse feeds.

Black Oil Sunflower Seeds contain 40-50% oil and are rich in omega-6 fatty acids. Omega-6 fatty acids are important for the inflammatory immune response and for cell integrity, the latter of which may support skin health. Because modern diets, especially those that contain concentrates, tend to be already high in omega-6s, the addition of omega-3s will help bring the balance of omegas into desirable proportion. To keep the omega-6 and omega-3 ratio in balance, an uptick in beneficial omega-3 fatty acids can be achieved through the addition of fish oil, like EO-3, to the diet. EO-3 contains direct sources of DHA and EPA, two important omega-3s.

The additional fat may help improve coat condition. In addition, sunflower oil is a rich source of vitamin E, a potent antioxidant. For horses that are not allowed to graze fresh pasture, it is always best to supplement with a natural-source vitamin E product, like Nano-E.

While Black oil sunflower seeds contain a considerable amount of protein, they are low in the essential amino acid lysine, which is necessary for growth. Therefore, Black sunflower seeds is a valued supplement but should not be the main dietary protein source.

Black oil sunflower seeds has become popular for supporting shiny coats and overall condition. In moderation, Black oil sunflower seeds can be a supplemental part of a balanced diet for the horse.

Encourage horses to drink, helping to maintain fluid and electrolyte balance to maintain kidney and bladder function in performance horses

RECOMMENDED FOR

High performance athletes in hard training

Horses with a history of ‘tying up’

Rehydration after exertion in conjunction with a balanced electrolyte

Helping to flush toxins and waste products after hard exercise and hence maintain kidney, bladder and urinary tract function

Young, nervous and heavily muscled horses in work

WHY CHOOSE NEUTRADEX®?

Scientifically balanced formulation for race recovery, tying up and hard exercise

Neutralises damaging acid build-up – NEUTRADEX® contains sodium acid citrate, a natural bicarbonate precursor to increase the body’s natural stores and actively helps neutralise lactic acid before it causes damage.

Improves hydration, appetite and overall recovery after hard exercise

Replaces essential sodium salts lost in sweat

COMPOSITION

Each 28 mL dose contains:

Sodium acid citrate 7.93 g

DOSAGE & DIRECTIONS FOR USE

Horses (450 - 500 kg)

28 mL of NEUTRADEX® added to the feed daily. Following hard or fast work or racing, give 50 mL NEUTRADEX® orally (by syringe over the back of the tongue). Horses suffering from dehydration need a supplementary daily ration of electrolytes.

To Help Prevent Tying Up

Give additional 30 mL by mouth after every workout or slow work and increase to 50 mL after any hard work (if horses are prone to muscle soreness and tying up).

To Maintain Thirst on Fast Work Days

Give 50 mL NEUTRADEX® over the tongue as soon as possible after very hard or fast exercise to neutralise acid and stimulate drinking.

Race Days

50 mL over the tongue prior to evening meal.

Day After Racing

50 mL over the tongue prior to morning meal.

STORAGE

PRECAUTIONS

Ensure an adequate supply of cool, clean water is accessible. NEUTRADEX® exerts a mild diuretic and neutralising effect on acidic substances which accumulate in the muscles and blood stream. Metabolic acidosis may impair normal muscular function, thereby interfering with performance. Dehydration, which can cause sluggish blood flow and impaired tissue oxygenation, can be effectively assisted by the administration of NEUTRADEX®. In horses, NEUTRADEX® may also be prescribed as a co-treatment in kidney, bladder and urinary tract infections.

Use immediately after hard work and after warm down exercise is completed, for one to two days. Add to the feed daily or give over the tongue. Ensure fresh water is available at all times after dosing. Use only as directed.

The active constituents in Neutradex are not, to our knowledge, prohibited substances in any racing or competition jurisdictions. However users are encouraged to check with their respective authority prior to the use of any supplement or medication.

PACK SIZES

NEUTRADEX® is available in 1L bottles, 5L casks and 20L drums. 

Equine Performance Electrolytes

Supplementing horses with electrolytes is vital to the health and welfare of the horse. A horse that develops sweat will need replacement of the salts lost in that sweat. The harder a horse is working, or the hotter the conditions – the greater the loss of salts and minerals.

The highest levels lost in sweat are sodium, chloride and potassium. Small amounts of calcium and magnesium are also expelled and smaller amounts of other trace minerals. These losses can result in the horse not being able to maintain the correct cellular fluid levels.

Imbalanced and low fluid levels can result in ineffective transmission of nerve impulses and also muscle contractions. Insufficient electrolytic levels will result in early fatigue and reduced stamina. In extreme cases a horse will lose the desire to drink water, thus compounding the detrimental effects on their health and more severe symptoms such as unco-ordinated movements, muscle weakness and sometimes trembling.

Vetpro has developed a specialist pH neutral electrolyte formulation with higher levels for horses in hard work such as racing and endurance and eventing. Or horses working in very hot conditions.

Vetpro Performance Electrolytes are a neutral pH composition. The idea of acid and alkaline electrolyte supplements is now regarded by equine physiologists to be 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.

Lysine-T

Vetpro Lysine-T is an amino acid supplement which contains the essential amino acids Lysine and Threonine. Scientific research has shown that young horses show improved growth, and older horses can show improved muscle mass, plus horses in work (particularly low carbohydrate/high fat/low forage diets) benefit from Lysine and Threonine supplementation.

In summary where to use Vetpro Lysine-T:

• In the young growing horse to maximise growth rates.

• In the active horse used for moderate to heavy work.

• In horses where the increase of protein may result in the horse blowing, overheating and producing high ammonia in the urine.

• In the older horse to maintain its muscle mass, where increasing protein in the diet is often not appropriate due to digestibility being difficult in the aged horse.

Cells need energy – energy to drive muscles, digest food, transmit nerve impulses. The byproducts of cellular energy production are waste products called peroxides. These are particularly important in the athletic horse, whose musculoskeletal system demands a huge amount of energy. Unless the peroxides are neutralised muscle damage will occur.

Antioxidants work to neutralise these peroxides. One of the most important antioxidants in the body is the Selenium containing enzyme Glutathione Peroxidase. This makes Selenium an extremely important trace element.

New Zealand soils are generally low in Selenium. In fact over 30% of farmland is deficient. Dietary supplementation is the only way to ensure adequate intakes.

Selenium is usually given in general mixes as Sodium Selenite the inorganic form. This may be sufficient for the daily requirement in areas with good levels of selenium in the soil but problems can occur with poor absorption due to competition with other minerals. The liquid form of Selenium is potentially extremely toxic if too much is given, the dose rate is very small and therefore can be easily overdosed, or since it is often not a daily dose, it can also be forgotten.

Chelation is a process by which a mineral is bound to an easily absorbed organic molecule, allowing much better absorption and utilisation of the mineral. Equine Selenium K contains Selenium EDTA, a new form of Chelated Selenium.

It is well known that daily supplementation is the most efficient way to administer Selenium. One 15 gram dose of Selenium K provides 1.66mg of available Selenium, this being the optimal level for an adult horse. It is an easy efficient non toxic way of ensuring correct selenium levels. Broodmares should also receive Selenium K in the breeding season as it is known to help increase fertility.

Equine Selenium K is in a Kelp base. Kelp meal is a natural feed supplement derived from a seaweed found only in the North Atlantic Ocean. Rich in micronutrients; it contains over 30 minerals including Boron, Molybdenum, Iodine, Sulphur and Iron, 12 Vitamins, 18 Amino Acids as well as high levels of Alginic Acid.

Equine Supplements EVERYDAY MINERALS Balanced daily requirement for sport, leisure or spelling horses

Is the latest development from Veterinary Professional Services Ltd, this nutraceutical has been formulated using the latest science on the problems of obesity in horse plus provide gut support for all horses in stressful situations.

Vetpro Gut-Biotic – contains Prebiotic and Probiotic actives that in line with the science, will improve the horses gut Microbiome to be restored and hence directly assist the health of the horse. The good bacteria in the gut of a horse are very important to the overall health of the horse. A horse is vulnerable to the changes that can occur in the balance and quality of that bacteria (called the microbiome), and that change will negatively affect the processing of food and therefore the wellbeing of the horse. Changes can occur for many reasons, usually stress or illness related.

Providing both a Probiotic and Prebiotics will assist with establishing a gut microflora at times when it may be naturally depleted by excessive workload, stress, long distance travel, changes in diet or grazing conditions, ill health and antibiotics.

Also overweight horses if left unresolved, can develop Insulin Resistance (IR), which creates metabolic and health complications, such as Laminitis, EMS (Equine Metabolic Syndrome). Science has proved that feeding a short chained fructo-oligosaccharide does help reduce that possibility.

When does a horse need Vetpro Gut-Biotic:

• Overweight horses to help prevent onset of insulin resistance and its consequences

• Underweight horses to improve the gut flora to process food efficiently and aid weight gain

• Horses in hard work and competition to help maintain good gut function under that stress

• Horses that are unwell and especially those on antibiotics

• Horses that show signs of diarrhea

• Horses that are undergoing long distance travel

• Horses that have to change their diet, especially change of grazing

Store in a cool dry place and always reseal the pouch after use.
