EO-3 OMEGA 3 SUPPLEMENT






EO-3
Omega 3 Supplement
EO-3 is a rich source of the long chain omega-3 fatty acids DHA andEPA in a palatable liquid form.
EO-3 should be fed to horses of all classes and levels of work, to provide a source of beneficial long-chain omega-3 fatty acids to improve the critical omega-3 : 6 ratio in the diet.
Research conducted in both humans and animals has found that the omega-3 fatty acids, DHA and EPA found in EO-3 have been shown to:
. Have a central role in maintenance of general health
. Aid sub-fertile stallions and mares
. Aid mares to increase colostral antibodies and passive transfer to the foal
. Have a positive effect on bone metabolism
. Aid in reducing inflammatory responses in joints. hooves and skin
. Improve vitamin E status and anti-oxidant function
. Reduce exercise induced bronchoconstriction
. Increase red cell flexibility
. Enhance immune function

Omega-3 fatty acids are found in a number of vegetable oils eg canola or linseed oil. These oils contain the short chain form, linoleic acid, which must be converted in the body to the active omega-3forms EPA and DHA. Only fish oil provides a direct source of EPA andDHA.
EO-3 is rich in Omega-3 fatty acids provided from fish oils (cold water species), Many fish oils are not very palatable or well accepted. However, Kentucky Equine Research has addressed this issue and has specially designed and tested EO-3 for its palatability and stability.
AVAILABLE PACK SIZES: 3.785 litres

USES
. To balance the omega 3 : 6 ration of horses on high grain or low pasture diets
. To supply long chain omega 3's DHA & EPA that aren't present in vegetable oils
. For equine athletes at risk of hoof, lung & joint inflammatory disorders
. Breeding horses especially stallions
. To optimize the transfer of antibodies from mare to foal through colostrum
. For horses at risk of allergies
GUARANTEED ANALYSIS
Nutrient per 30ml
Omega-3 Fatty Acids 945mg 35%
DHA & EPA 675mg 25%
Omega-6 Fatty Acids 810mg 3%
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
Add required amount daily to the horses hard feed. For the best results divide the daily amount equally between hard feeds. It is recommended that EO-3 is gradually introduced into the horses ration over a period of 7 - 10 days. Begin with 15ml per day increasing to the following recommended dose rate:
Horse in Light Work 30ml
Horse in Heavy Work 60 - 120ml

STRIDE HA SOLUTION




STRIDE HA SOLUTION

A POWERFUL - FAST ACTING MOBILITY SUPPLEMENT


STRIDE HA SOLUTION is a fast acting liquid formulation for the nutritional maintenance of healthy cartilage and joints in horses, with the additional benefit of Hyaluronic Acid.


All performance horses suffer from the rigours of daily training and competition. In particular there is enormous pressure on the articular surfaces. Healthy cartilage and adequate synovial fluid are essential to ensure that the equine athlete can withstand these pressures.


STRIDE HA contains four ingredients all of which combine to nutritionally maintain healthy cartilage and joints. It is formulated to be palatable even to shy feeders.




FEEDING INTRUCTIONS


STRIDE HA SOLUTION should be added to the normal feed ration.


Feed 2fl oz (approx. 60ml) per day for 7 days.

Thereafter feed 1fl oz (approx. 30ml) per day.


Complementary Feedingstuff for Horses.

EQUIVIT BONE FOOD








A Balanced Calcium, Phosphorus and Magnesium Supplement to Aid in Bone Production


Calcium, Phosphorus and Magnesium are the main structural components of the bone. Low dietary calcium and phosphorus can lead to weakening of bones in horses, especially performance horses and growing horses.

A horse needs adequate amounts of calcium, phosphorus andmagnesium and the correct balance between these minerals to produce and maintain strong bones.

This is especially important in tropical countries. Strong bones are vital to preventing injury and keeping horses in work.

BONE FOOD supplies sufficient minerals to balance a horse's diet and protect bone strength.

phosphorus and magnesium
. To supply extra calcium and phosphorus for horses
grazing high Oxalate pastures (Kikuyu and Buffel grass)

EQUIVIT B - QUIET





A supplemental source of Thiamine (Vitamin B1) to help calm nervous, hot or highly strung horses where bahaviour is related to thiamine deficiency.

Many horses are difficult to handle and do not fulfill their full potential as a resulf of spookiness or nervousness.

A deficiency of thiamine has been shown in several species to lead to nervous behaviour. B-QUIET provides concentrated levels of thiamine to treat the symptoms of thiamine deficiency, including hyper-irritability and nervousness in horses. Thiamine plays an important role in carbohydrate metabolism and nerve transmission.Thiamine deficiency can sometimes be caused by grazing on bracken fern.
B-QUIET is also useful for horses on high grain intakes and in heavy training, to aid energy utilisation and promote appetite. In these horses, production of thiamine by intestinal bacteria may be reduced by stress and hind gut acidosis.
USES:
. Excitable and highly strung horses
. Horses that are poor travellers and nervous away from home
Horses that are nervous, and prone to tie up
Mares who become irritable when in season
. Horses "heated up" by grain
Instead of injectible Vitamin B1
ACTIVE CONSTITUENTS:
Thiamine (Vitamin B1) 1,000mg - 33,333mg
AVAILABLE PACK SIZES: 600g (trial pack), 1kg and 4kg
DIRECTIONS FOR USE:
For nervous horses, and other horses showing signs of thiamine deficiency, use 30g per day mixed in the feed for as long as signs persist. Feed 30g per day mixed in feed to horses on high grain intakes in heavy training. Double doses may be given for 2 days prior to a show competition or racing to enhance the calming effect.
1 heaped scoop = 30g

Other feeding managements practices to reduce nervous behaviour should also be used. Match energy intake with body condition and workload. This includes the use of high fat supplements such as KER EQUI-JEWEL or "cool" prepared feeds. If further supplementation with high levels of other B vitamins is needed, EQUIVIT HEMABUILD can be used.

EQUI - JEWEL




High-Fat Stabilised Rice Bran with Calcium, Vitamin E and Selenium
Alternative sources of energy, such as rice bran, are now more popular than ever.


Equi-Jewel, a high-fat stabilised rice bran supplement, increases the energy density of a ration, thereby decreasing the amount of grain necessary to fulfill energy requirements of horses during growth, lactation or athletic performance. Addition of Equi-Jewel to a ration can reduce the risk of founder, colic, diarrhoea and exertional myopathies often associated with excessive grain and minimal forage intake.

Equi-Jewel contains a balanced calcium to phosphorus ration. In its natural state, rice bran is richer in phosphorus than in calcium.

Excessive phosphorus in the diet inhibits calcium absorption, which may compromise skeletal integrity or induce developmental orthopaedic disease. Inclusion of calsium carbonate ensures a balanced calcium to phosphorus ratio in the diet of a horse, and can be used as a calcium supplement.

To achieve superior coat condition, Equi-Jewel can be suppplemented to horses of all ages. Equi-Jewel is a highly digestible and higly palatable source of unsaturated fat for horses. Fats are composed of glycerol and essential fatty acids, elements linked to elastic skin and glossy hair coats.

BENEFITS:
Provides fatty acids essential for healthy skin and hair
. Improves and maintains condition on poor doers and picky eaters
. Enhances palatability and convenience compared to oil
. Delivers low starch and low glycemic index for horses prone to tying up and
behavioural problems
Stabilised to protect nutritional value and retain freshness
Adds calories to a ration without excessive grain intake
Supplies a highly palatable and digestible form of fat
Contains balanced ratio of calcium to phosphorus


ACTIVE CONSTITUENTS:
Crude Protein (min) 13%
Crude Fat (min) 17.5%
Crude Fiber (max) 13%
Calcium to Phosphorus Ratio 1 : 5 : 1
Vitamin E 650IU/kg
Selenium 1mg/kg
