EnviroEquine: Equine Biosecurity

Equine Biosecurity A Nutritionist’s Perspective

Role of Nutrition in Biosecurity & Health A horse in excellent nutritional status will have an optimized immune system to help ward off disease

Compared to a horse that might be missing key nutritional elements that play a role in immune and inflammatory function

Feeding management plays a vital role in a horse’s day-to-day wellbeing – and disruptions to diet, feeding schedule, etc. – can contribute a horse’s stress, and potentially affect their ability to fight disease Keeping feed safe and secure, as well as having ample supplies, will help horses and their people endure an outbreak

Nutrition for Health Horses should have balanced diets, meeting all of the nutritional needs for: water, calories, protein, vitamins and minerals, as well as good sources of fiber, fats and other carbohydrates

Work with an Equine Nutritionist to ensure your horse’s diet meets his needs Ideally find someone with a PhD in EQUINE nutrition

Deficiencies in any key nutrient will contribute to your horse not being able to fight off disease, or recover from disease if exposed

Some nutrients play an enhanced role in immune function You may consider supplementing with these a little higher than their base requirements

Antioxidants

Antioxidants function to counteract oxidative stress that occurs with exercise and disease

Antioxidants

Vitamin E – Horses should receive at least 1,000 IU/day, and upwards of 5,000 IU/day for athletes or those prone to stress

Blood testing for vitamin E may be helpful to determine how much your horse needs (3-5 µg/ml desired) Different products contain different forms of Vitamin E that may be more or less biologically available

Selenium – Mineral that works closely with vitamin E as a component of glutathione peroxidase Need 1-2 mg per day

Continued...

Beta-Carotene – Antioxidant and a precursor for vitamin A Vitamin C – Not normally needed by horses (synthesized by the horse) but is an important antioxidant Vitamin E and Beta-Carotene are plentiful in fresh pasture – but lower in dried forages like hay Supplementation may depend on diet

Omega-3 Fatty Acids

Omega-6 fatty acids can be pro-inflammatory if not balanced with omega-3 fatty acids Omega-3 fatty acids Support the immune system Decrease inflammation Found in: Marine oils (DHA and EPA) Camelina & Flaxseed oil (ALA)

Additional Support for Stress Some compounds may help reduce stress and anxiety Magnesium, tryptophan, thiamin “Calming” agents

Electrolyte supplementation may be warranted if a horse is sweating (due to exercise or a fever) and to help promote normal water intake Sodium, Chloride and Potassium

General Feeding Tips to Reduce Stress Provide clean water at all times Provide free choice forage (hay) at all times

Slow feeder hay nets if horses eat their allotment too quickly

Try to feed concentrates at the same time of day every day Avoid feeding large meals Ideally horses are fed in 3-5 smaller meals per day This way smaller meals are fed, which causes fewer metabolic and hematological disturbances

Biosecurity for Feed

Keep your feed secure and safe

Avoid sharing scoops, buckets, hoses, hay nets

Make sure you have ample feed available in case of any emergency Stock up and store safely Have enough feed (hay and grain) for 2 weeks on hand

Consider options for water sources in case of any emergency

Be Prepared – Checklist

Keep extra buckets for feed and water, extra hay nets Keep extra horse supplies – halters, leads, blankets, etc.

Gloves – sized to fit anyone, other PPE (masks, disposable gowns) Thermometers Cleaning agents Virkon or other antimicrobial Mops, brushes, rags, etc.

In Case of An Emergency

Don’t try to hide it. It is nobody’s fault - unless you share the disease knowingly Try to stick to normal feeding and management routine Avoid adding more stress for your horses

Set up zones within your area/facility

Healthy zone – no sick animals, clean zone for feed/hay/supplements, buckets, bedding/cleaning supplies Risk zone – Possible sick animal, take extra care Sick zone – Minimize personnel, last to feed/clean, dispose of all waste

Equine Recovery Aide SUPPORTS MUSCLE FUNCTION & METABOLISM

A Recovery Solution.

PROMOTES RECOVERY FROM STRENUOUS ACTIVITIES IMMUNE SUPPORT

Relyte is a unique blend of vitamins and amino acids, blended with herbs that promote the performance & recovery of your horse. To be used prior to, during, and after intense activities such as hard work or travel. ReLyte is used to promote muscle recovery and preparedness for the next level of effort.

Blend of Amino Acids

Blend of Herbs

Vitamin E and C are known antioxidants that help protect the muscle from reactive oxygen species produced during intense exercise. The B complex of vitamins (thiamine, riboavin, niacin, pantothenic acid, and pyridoxine) have functions that support the biochemical processes of metabolism.

Lysine, methionine, threonine, valine, and isoleucine are amino acids, which are the building blocks of skeletal and other types of proteins. In particular, lysine and threonine are considered essential limiting amino acids, such that they need to be provided for in the diet, but may only be found in limited quantities in a horse’s “natural diet” (of forages). These two amino acids have been shown to improve muscle mass in horses, and may be important in muscle recovery following exercise or other intense situations.

Boswellia serrata is a well-proven herb for its anti-inammatory and immune-boosting benets. Turmeric has been shown to not only decrease the severity of gastric ulcers but, it too boosts the antiinammatory response.

NATURE HAS IT RIGHT!

EveryDayBalance blends a unique combination of omega-3 fatty acids, probiotics, vitamins, and minerals. Added Zinpro© Performance Minerals promote healthy skin, coat, joint, and immune function, while mycotoxin binders and live yeast help to maintain gastrointestinal health; all provided in a base of flax, rich in omega-3 fatty acids. EnviroEquine's EveryDayBalance combines the best of nature and science to keep your horse happy and healthy.

Pre- and Probiotics

Omega-3 Fatty Acids

EveryDayBalance includes Alltech mycotoxin binders, prebiotics, and live yeast. Mycotoxins produced by molds found in your horse’s feed and environment can cause digestive disruption. Binders remove these potentially harmful toxins from the digestive tract. The live yeast in EveryDayBalance has been shown to stabilize the digestive tract environment promoting feed utilization and mineral absorption.

Hay-based diets may not provide adequate amounts of essential fatty acids.

Each serving of EveryDayBalance provides omega-3 fatty acids from flax.

Providing adequate omega-3s may help reduce inflammation associated with training and competition while at the same time promoting a beautiful coat.

+ Detoxification + Stomach Buffer + Proprietary Yeast Cultures + Zinpro© Trace Minerals DIRECTIONS FOR USE Young Horses

Full Grown Horses

1.5 oz. per day for a young horse 3 oz. per day for a full grown horse For adult horses receiving no other sources of fortified feed or supplementation, dose may be increased to 6 oz. per day.

Hydration Support

GastroBalancePLUS contains a source of naturally occurring unrefined salt. Daily sodium intake is important – it promotes adequate water consumption, which reduces the risk of impaction colic.

Detoxification

Bentonite clay and sodium calcium aluminosilicate, the two main ingredients of GastroBalancePLUS, have proven beneficial in livestock feed by supporting a healthy digestive tract through the binding of toxins such as fumonisin and aflatoxins that can occur naturally in feeds.

Skeletal Support Organic Trace Minerals

Bentonite clay provides a source of silica, which has an important role in the development of new bone, as it is necessary for new bone calcification.

GastroBalancePLUS includes Zinpro® Organic trace minerals to support vital metabolic functions, in addition to the more than 40 minerals provided by the bentonite clay and raw salt. MINED IN AMERICA
