ZYLKENE EQUINEKeep calm, you’ve got Zylkene.

Do you know that feeling when your horse’s focus is everywhere else but in the show ring? Do you want your horse to perform in the show pen like you are riding at home? Does your veterinarian or farrier struggle with your needle shy, farrier terrified four legged friend?

“Fight or flight” is a natural response of prey animals to danger. Domesticated horses no longer have the challenge of predators, but their natural stress response is still expressed in everyday situations. Fear, anxiety and phobias can make horses di�cult to work with, a�ect their health and performance, and increase risk of injuries.

DID YOU KNOW THAT…

• Studies have shown that horses’ heart rate and stress hormone level rise every time they travel, which can lead to early ”burnout” and poor performance.

• Stall pacers are at high risk of re-injury while confined for orthopedic rehabilitation.

• Stress in performance horses can lead to gastric ulceration.

HOW CAN YOU HELP YOUR HORSE DEAL WITH STRESS?

The solution is to identify the problem, and desensitize your horse through proper training, positive reinforcement and with the help of products that can decrease stress response without a�ecting the ability to learn. Vetoquinol is proud to present you with a unique solution:

For life’s ups and downs, Zylkene Equine help keeps your horse in stride!

NUTREQUIN ELITEInsist on the best.

The high workload of a modern horse athlete imposes physical, mental and physiological stress. In order to combat that stress, all metabolic processes have to work at their maximum capacity. This requires fuel in form of proper nutrition. Basic diet consisting of hay, grain and pelleted feeds is often lacking various nutrients such as vitamins and trace minerals. During storage, vitamins in hay are undergoing oxidizing processes and degradation.

Vitamin and trace mineral deficiencies show up in a horse after a chronic lack of supply, and may present as:

• Increased susceptibility to infections.

• Poor performance and lack of energy.

• Muscular and neurological problems.

• Poor hair coat and hoof condition.

BIO-ISO-G®

No joints no horse.

Horse athletes experience strenuous daily training. The intensity and specificity of certain movements such as fence jumping or sliding stops put extensive strain on joint structures. Over time this can trigger inflammation, called synovitis. A destructive cascade begins, and inflammatory molecules such as cytokines, degrading enzymes and free radicals cause changes in properties of joint fluid and damage to cartilage. If left untreated, such changes will progress to irreversible osteoarthritis.

BIO-ISO-G® IS A JOINT SUPPLEMENT WITH CUTTING EDGE TECHNOLOGY. IT CONTAINS ACTIVE COMPONENTS OF:

• Glucosamine (glutamine), Chondroitin (proline, glutamate, glycine and glucoronate)

• MSM (sulfur)

…for increased bioavailability.

BIO-ISO-G CAN HELP COMBAT EARLY JOINT DISEASE BY:

• Providing building blocks for joint cartilage.

• Providing lubricating ingredients for joint fluid.

• Providing anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.

DID YOU KNOW, THAT:

• Bioavailability of glucosamine in the horse is only 2%. Active isolate technology bypasses this issue.

• MSM is a derivative of DMSO, a potent anti-inflammatory and ingredient used broadly in veterinary medicine.

BC2A™

Engineered to help your horse train at maximum capacity.

In order to build, repair and ensure optimal health of muscles, adequate levels of essential amino acids must be included with the diet. Specifically, branched chain amino acids are required for efficient function of muscle cells, and for muscle growth and repair. They circulate in the blood stream in specific ratios and are required by muscle tissue during periods of strenuous exercise and stress.

BC2A’S UNIQUE FORMULATION:

BC2A is a patented branched chain amino acid formula in a pre-dosed oral paste form. BC2A’s L-crystalline, ”pre-digested” form ensures rapid absorption, and a circulating reservoir of branched chain amino acids in the bloodstream within 30 to 60 minutes after administration.

BC2A’S CLINICAL STUDIES

In studies on horses, BC2A was proven to:

• Decrease heart rate of exercising horses by 15%.

• Decrease lactic acid build up by 50%.

• Decrease break-down of muscle tissue in race horses prone to tying-up.

Racetrack horses that trained on BC2A had significantly lower leakage of muscle enzymes after the race. This indicates a lower degree of exercise-induced muscle damage.

ADMINISTRATION TIMING THE KEY TO EFFECTIVE RESULTS!

• Administer BC2A 30 to 60 minutes prior to strenuous exercise.

• Administer BC2A within 30 minutes after strenuous exercise.

EQUINE GASTRIC ACID SYNDROME (EGUS) IS HIGHLY PREVALENT AMONG PERFORMING HORSES AND IS FOUND IN:

• 94% of stabled race horses.

• 93% of endurance horses during competing season, dropping to 48% when not in competition.

• 69% of polo horses.

• 40-88% of western performance horses undergoing frequent travel and training.

• 63% of hunter/jumper and dressage horses.

U-GARD®

Stressed athlete? Let’s get to the stomach of the problem!

The physiology of the horse’s stomach has evolved to be attuned with natural lifestyle; grazing up to 17 hours a day results in constant gastric acid production. A fine balance in the horse’s stomach pH is achieved by the production of alkaline saliva while chewing to counter the acid produced by the stomach.

The lifestyle of today’s equine athlete has been modified to accommodate high workload, decreased risk of injuries by restricting access to pasture, and a high amount of nutrition in every day feeding. Our horses are under stress from strenuous exercise, stall confinement, reduced grazing time, and increased concentrated feeds intake, with a subsequent decrease in hay intake. All of these factors contribute to a shift of stomach pH toward more acidic, causing chemical damage over time to its lining, known as gastric ulceration.

DID YOU KNOW THAT COMMON SIGNS OF GASTRIC ULCERATION IN HORSES ARE:

• Poor performance

• Decreased appetite

• Sensitivity when tightening the girth, looking at the flanks and grinding teeth

• Recurrent colic

• Change in behaviour, often becoming irritable

An e�ective solution is treatment with products that increase gastric pH and coat the stomach, as well as modifying the environment of the horse. Some horses require long term maintenance doses of medication, which can become costly. Treatment options include drugs and agents including omeprazole, ranitidine, sucralfate and antacids such as calcium carbonate

U-GARD® IS A DIETARY SUPPLEMENT THAT CONTAINS:

• Calcium carbonate, which is an antacid shown to increase gastric pH in horses.

• Coating agents such as aluminum calcium silicate and aloe vera.
