EQUISHURE






Time-released hindgut buffer
EquiShure is a dietary supplement designed for horses suspected of suffering from or at risk of subclinical hindgut acidosis. At risk-horses often show one or more signs that can compromise athletic performance.
Subclinical acidosis is thought to result from over consumption of either high-starch concentrates or pasture rich in fructan; fructan is the sugar abundant in rapidly growing grass. This over consumption leads to changes in the pH of the hidgut due to alterations in the mocrobial populations and acid profiles.
In a recent NSW survey, it was found that 25% of racehorses were suffering from subclinical hindgut acidosis (Richards et al)

Subclinical acidosis is often associated with disorders such as:
. Subclinical Laminitis
. Loose droppings and behavioural issues appentence in severe cases
. Mild to moderate colic signs
. Poor feed conversion efficiency and subsequent weight loss
. Poor growth in young horses
. Stereotypical behaviour such as wood chewing, weaving and box walking

USES
. For horses on high grain diets
. For horses grazing lush pasture
. For horses with behavioural problems with an unexplainable cause
. For horses with unexplained weight loss or other digestive upsets such as Colic and loose droppings
. For horses prone to Laminitis

MAP-5 INTRODUCTION



MAP-5
potential increase in pregnancies with frozen semen from low fertility stallions


INTRODUCTION
Successful breeding with frozen stallion semen is currently quite variable. Conception rates range from 30% - 70% and vary greatly with the fertility of the stallion, the freezing ability of the semen, cryopreservative used and the technician performing the collection & freezing.

A previous study by Ottier & Palasz using an equine cryopreservative semen extender containing  MAP-5, demonstrated a 7% increase in the binding of thawed sperm to equine hemizona from a highly fertile stallion (100% conception with frozen sperm, in clinically normal mares, during the 1999 breeding season).

In an atttempt to reproduce these results & examine the effects of MAP-5 on cryopreservation of low fertility stallions, an in vitro study, with semen from three stallions was conducted.

MAP-5




MAP-5
sterile sodium hyaluronate


PERMITS THE SUBSTITUTION OF BIOLOGICAL SERA IN EMBRYO FREEZING MEDIA.

Sterile MAP-5 acts as a replacement for serum and serum products in cell handling and freezing solutions, and thereby reduces the risk of transmitting micro-organisms that may contaminate serum products.


MAP-5 is panted salt of hyaluronic acid in normal saline for use in the collection, handling, culture & cryopreservation of embryo, ova, sperm and other cells.

. BORIC ACID BP ANTISEPTIC
minimises infection and re-infection, promotes healing

. TRAGACANTH
a natural poulticing agent, activated by water, draws out infected wounds, pus, dirt from wounds, abscesses and reduces inflammation. Contained in a specially made dressing with...

. LOW ADHERENT SKIN CONTACT LAYER
prevents damaging the wound on removal and protects sensitive skin.

. IMPROVED COTTON WOOL

. CUSHIONED PROTECTIVE LAYER
protects against external contamination, keeps in moisture and warmth for faster healing.

. ECONOMICAL TO USE
ANIMALINTEX is the only poultice and dressing you can cut to the size needed, keeping the remainder for later use. No need to waste.


CAUTIONS:
PLEASE REMEMBER...

. CHANGE ANIMALINTEX AT LEAST ONCE EVERY 12 HOURS.
wash hands before and after use.

. Do not overlap the ANIMALINTEX as this will create pressure points.

. Do not bandage too tightly.

. Do not apply too hot, i.e. tested on the back of the hand, it should feel comfortable.

. All wounds require tetanus cover. Check vaccinations are current. If not contact your veterinary surgeon.

. For external use on horses and dogs only.

. The over-use of hot wet dressings on a wound or abscess may encourage the development of excessive granulation tissue (proud flesh).

. All medicines should be kept out of reach of children. Store in dry place.

. If adhesive dressings are used on animals they should be discontinued if a skin reaction occurs. This is characterised by soreness, redness, and serum exudate at the site.

. Do not use with medical preparations except on the advice of your veterinary surgeon, who should be consulted before applying ANIMALINTEX to infected wounds.

EQUIWRAP


EQUIWRAP sel-adhering bandages are ideal for holding dressings and providing support. For extra strength and security and especially for hoof bandaging it's also good to have an elastic adhesive bandage such as VETERINARY FLEXOPLAST.

BIORACING



BIORACING
An unique natural feed supplement for horses
BIORACING is an important nutritional supplement containing the building blocks for:
DNA - The messenger of genetic information for all forms of life.
RNA - Transmits genetic intructions, and functions for the formation of proteins.
ATP - Energy source for muscle.

WHAT IS BIORACING?
BIORACING is an essential nutritional supplement. Trials have shown that ingredients such as nucleotides, RNA, Biotin and Folic acid significantly improve the immune systemBIORACING functions to accelerate the immune response, which results in greater resistance to, and faster recovery from, infections, diseases and allergies. It also serves to improve the overall performance of the animal.

WHICH ACTIVE INGREDIENTS ARE PRESENT IN BIORACING?
BIORACING contains a mixture of natural RNA, Nucleotides plus Biotin and Folic acid.

WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF BIORACING?
BIORACING...
... Strengthens the immune system and general resistance.
... accelerates the immune response and healing process.
... reduces the frequency of incections due to grazing, wounds and injuries.
... enlarges and invigorates intestinal villi which results in an improved absorption of valuable nutritional ingredients, vitamins and minerals from feed. An additional amount oif vital substances is available to tissue and organs, resulting in healthier organs and improved muscle development and functions. The positively improved function of the intestine reduces problems of digestion and diarrhea.
... Increases the number of red blood cells and, therefore the oxygen supply, so horses are more active, and their performance and endurance are improved.

CAN BIORACING DEVELOP UNWANTED SIDE EFFECTS?
No. Numerous studies show tha BIORACING is safe as a daily nutritional supplement. BIORACING is manufactured from specific yeast cells and supplies the body with an extra amount of very essential substances.

DOSAGE
20 30 grams per animal per day.
This recommended dosage of BIORACING should be fed daily and continuously. Positive results should be noticeable after two to three weeks.
