Cool, calm and collected
Nettex introduces eCalm, a new, natural and proven non-magnesium calmer for your horse
MANY owners experience behavioural difficulties with their horses year round, but these can become exacerbated in the autumn and winter months, thanks to Halloween, Bonfire Night and Christmas, and all the strange new sights, sounds and smells that accompany these celebrations.
Magnesium has long been advocated as the go-to ingredient in calmers, and while it can work for some horses, the scientific research on magnesium’s efficacy is limited(1).
It has also been suggested that if the horse does not have a magnesium deficiency, then feeding magnesium may have little effect on behaviour. This could explain why many horse owners report that magnesium has little effect on their horse.
A DIFFERENT OPTION
ECALM is a non-magnesium, natural calmer, developed by world-leading veterinary surgeons and scientists with proven, statistically significant results(2).
Its prebiotic-like functionality has been shown to influence the horse’s gut microbiome
“eCalm is a non-magnesium, natural calmer with proven results” which supports calmness and wellbeing, as well as supporting gut functionality and a healthy skin and coat.
In the published trials in Veterinary
Times, the positive effects of feeding eCalm to horses with poor behavioural scores were shown to occur in as little as 2 weeks (and in some cases in as little as 36 to 48 hours). H&H
eCalm further strengthens the Nettex calmer range, which provides options for magnesium or non-magnesiumbased calmers, pastes or powders. For more information on stockists please contact Nettex on 01283 524222 or visit nettexequine.com/ecalm-stockists
