Harnessing nature’s resources for horses
Anpario, a global supplier of environmentally sustainable feed additives, finds that the key to helping horses invariably lies in nature
ANPARIO HAHARNESSES NATURE’S resources to provide solutions for your horse that help to support his health — naturally. To help drive health and performance in the horse or pony, Anpario Direct offers a range of equine supplements and products across three main product categories — optimal health and wellbeing, condition and performance, and stable hygiene and insect control.
Orego-Stim Equine, which can be found in the first category, is Anpario’s own 100% natural oregano essential oil. A unique production process protects its active properties to ensure a high quality, sustainable product every time.
Containing no synthetic, chemical or prohibited substances, here are some of the reasons why your horse will benefit from Orego-Stim Equine:
1 Aids digestive health
2 Maintains healthy appetite
3 Rich in antioxidants
4 A natural calmer, helping focus and concentration
Orego-Stim Equine is aromatic and palatable, which has been shown to encourage feed and forage intake. It can also help older horses or fussy eaters to support daily intakes. As horse owners know, digestive issues can create an irritable horse and this, in turn, can affect temperament and concentration. Anpario Direct’s customers have revealed that, when Orego-Stim Equine is used continuously, their horses have appeared more focused while being worked and under saddle, plus they have shown a more relaxed demeanour during activities such as travelling, when competing and hacking. Orego-Stim Equine is available in 1-litre dosing bottles for easy addition to feed, in volumes varying from 10ml-30ml per day, depending on the size of the horse.
Oregano essential oil — nature’s answer
So what is special about oregano essential oil (OEO)? It contains a wide range of naturally occurring antioxidant and antibacterial properties, including carvacrol and thymol that are widely documented to provide an array of benefits when consumed. Encouraging feed and forage intake is important for maintaining gut motility and ensuring a healthy gut microbiota. OEO antibacterial properties beneficially shift the microbial population, especially Lactobacillus, helping to boost good bacterial populations within the gut, support firmer droppings and nutrient absorption, and maintain good digestive health. Antioxidants are also beneficial in helping the body to neutralise free radicals that interfere with a healthy immune system and may affect respiratory function.
