Sodium and Chloride: Common salt (NaCl), which is composed of two ions, sodium (Na+) and chloride (Cl-). They are the major electrolytes of the body.

Potassium: One of potassium’s major roles is to maintain and ensure correct cellular osmotic pressure which affects the sensitivity of nerves and muscles to impulses. Horses suffering from a lack of potassium are prone to fatigue, muscle weakness, exercise intolerance, tying-up and decreased water intake.

Magnesium: Magnesium plays a critical role as a co-factor in over 300 enzymatic reactions within the body. Magnesium is also required for muscle function and is essential for DNA to send messages to the cells.

Calcium: Deficiencies of calcium in its ionic form may lead to muscle weakness and conditions such as tying-up and ‘thumps’

Country Park Marshmallow Root Powder 5kg https://tasrural.supplies/product/cp-marshmallow-root-powder-5kg/ https://tasrural.supplies/product/cp-marshmallow-root-powder-5kg/#respond Wed, 11 Sep 2024 04:44:24 +0000 https://tasrural.supplies/product/cp-marshmallow-root-powder-5kg/ Taken internally, marshmallow is healing and protective for damaged, inflamed gut walls, and is thus used for treating conditions such as ulcers, colitis and enteritis. Horses who have colicked, or who are scouring, can benefit from the soothing and healing effects of marshmallow for a number of weeks afterward (usually in conjunction with other herbs, including chamomile).

Hardworking horses, or those prone to colic (especially in association with ulcers), may benefit from regular inclusion of marshmallow in their feed. But although long-term use of marshmallow as a gut protector is safe, it is important not to use marshmallow merely as a suppressive/management tool that disguises a chronic problem. The source of any ongoing issues such as ulcers must be properly addressed.

Marshmallow is not only used to treat digestive tract disorders; it can also be used to soothe inflamed and irritated mucous membranes of the respiratory and urinary systems. Dry coughs, sore throats, urinary tract inflammation and cystitis have all been relieved by the effects of marshmallow. Horses who are bleeders (i.e. who have experienced epistaxis) may benefit from marshmallow’s ability to protect their airways from the allergens and irritants that can lead to inflammation.

DRUG INTERACTIONS: Fibre- and mucilage-containing herbs such as marshmallow have the potential to slow and/or reduce the absorption of any drugs taken simultaneously with them. Although this effect, in the case of marshmallow, is likely to be minor*, it is advisable to leave a couple of hours between the administration of any drug medications and marshmallow.

Olsson’s Green Caviar Horse Block 2kg https://tasrural.supplies/product/olssons-green-caviar-horse-block-2kg/ https://tasrural.supplies/product/olssons-green-caviar-horse-block-2kg/#respond Tue, 02 Jul 2024 23:22:08 +0000 https://tasrural.supplies/product/olssons-green-caviar-horse-block-2kg/ Olsson’s Equine Blocks are formulated for horses grazing pastures of buffel, kikuyu, setaria, and some of the other exotic grasses.
When on these pastures for extended periods horses develop the condition known as “Big Head”. This condition occurs because the calcium in the grass, although often at the correct concentrations, becomes unavailable to the horse due to phosphorus excess in the diet, with symptoms such as swollen and sore bones, big head, and milk fever in pregnant mares.

Kohnke’s Fabby 3.5kg https://tasrural.supplies/product/kohnkes-fabby-3-5kg/ https://tasrural.supplies/product/kohnkes-fabby-3-5kg/#respond Tue, 04 Jun 2024 00:05:19 +0000 https://tasrural.supplies/product/kohnkes-fabby-3-5kg/ Multi-Action Probiotic and Prebiotic Digestive Supplement for Horses]]> Kohnke’s Own® FABBY® has been formulated using the latest scientific knowledge in probiotic and prebiotic research, specifically to improve digestive health and function which is crucial for an efficient gastro-intestinal system of all horses regardless of age, diet and exercise levels.

Many horses also have digestive challenges including feed or grass sensitivity, lack of pasture access, scouring, intermittent loose or acidic ‘cow pat’ manure. These horses may show irritability, poor manure formation, bloated, gassy problems or be a ‘poor doer’ or hard keeper type.

With a concentrated, comprehensive and multi-action approach, FABBY has been proven in extensive research trials over 3 years to help all types of horses, especially those with poor hindgut health, maintain a well-functioning digestive system.

Kohnke’s Own® FABBY® is a highly concentrated supplement containing probiotics, prebiotics and additional specific nutrients which help optimise the digestive efficiency of the entire gastro-intestinal system, particularly the hindgut, in all horses.

FABBY® works to improve the function and balance of the hindgut microbiome fermentation system, particularly helping horses which are ‘poor doers’ maintain body condition and providing ‘cool’ energy reserves through better feed conversion.  It is beneficial as a daily supplement for working horses with hindgut acid imbalance or ‘acidosis’ from hard feeds containing grain, grain by-products or starch.

FABBY® is also an ideal supplement to help improve digestive function in aged or senior horses who struggle to maintain body condition despite an adequate diet or who suffer feed sensitivities such as scouring, bloating or loose manure.
