DuraPlex® 4 kg DuraPlex® is a bone mineralization supplement that contains a unique mixture of nutrients specifically designed to support optimal bone growth.

DuraPlex® is a proprietary blend of specific proteins, minerals and vitamins scientifically proven to increase bone mineral density and bone area in both performance and growing horses. Studies at Kentucky Equine Research with exercised Thoroughbreds showed positive changes in bone quality after just one month of supplementation. DuraPlex® was also shown to prevent the natural demineralization that occurs when access to free-choice exercise is restricted such as when young horses enter a training environment or during stall rest due to injury.

• Supports bone growth in horses involved in all disciplines
• Provides the proteins, vitamins and minerals necessary for strong bone development
• Prevents bone demineralization in horses with limited access to turnout or those on stall rest

EO•3™ Rich Source of Omega-3 Fatty Acids Because the advantages of feeding fat are accepted almost universally by equine nutritionists, veterinarians, and horsemen, scientists are delving deeper into how certain fats help horses. Researchers have focused much of their attention on omega-3 fatty acids and the relationship between them and omega-6 fatty acids. The two types of fatty acids must be balanced within the body in order for both to be effective. Horses are often fed diets composed entirely of grain mixes and hay. Such diets are rich in omega-6 fatty acids but extremely low in omega-3 fatty acids. If vegetable oil is added to the ration, it further skews the ratio, with omega-6 fatty acids being overrepresented. To help counteract this imbalance, horses should be supplemented with omega-3 fatty acids, the richest sources of which are fish oils.

Kentucky Equine Research developed EO•3™, a potent marine-derived oil that is rich in omega-3 fatty acids. EO•3™ is a palatable oil that is top-dressed onto the feed.

• Contains an omega-3 concentration of 35%, more than most common fat supplements
• Supplies omega-3 fatty acids, compounds with positive effects on reproduction, bone development and numerous inflammatory conditions in horses

Synovate HA® Liquid Sodium Hyaluronate delivers high molecular weight sodium hyaluronate in an easy-to-administer liquid. Equine athletes are prone to injury. Certain injuries happen quickly but others are a result of cumulative wear and tear. Hyaluronic acid (HA) plays a vital role in maintaining the health of connective tissue and optimizing normal joint function. Synovate HA® may assist with supporting equine athletes through the rigors of training and competition. Owners and trainers of high-performance horses rely on intra-articular, intravenous, or oral HA to help protect their horses' joints.

Manage Joints Proactively Synovate HA® provides horses with a safe, easily absorbed, and easy-to-use form of sodium hyaluronate. The core ingredient, HA, is a naturally occurring substance found in various connective tissues in the horse's body. HA contributes significantly to maintenance of cartilage health and elasticity, joint fluid viscoelasticity, and lubrication of the entire joint mechanism. In addition, HA has anti-inflammatory properties, especially useful for high-motion joints such as those in equine limbs.

The horse maintains considerable reservoirs of HA within its body, yet as horses mature and more athletic demands are placed on them inflammation leads to breakdown of HA in the joint fluid. The loss of HA leads to lower viscoelasticity in the joint fluid and further inflammation, which can damage cartilage and make the joint disease worse. Therefore, it is desirable to manage joint care proactively with Synovate HA®.

Superior Biological Activity Researchers have identified differences in biological activities for HA of different molecular weights. HA with a high molecular weight (more than 500,000 daltons) has the greatest biological response. Further, high molecular weight HA created from microbial fermentation, such as Synovate HA®, has the greatest likelihood for matching the known attributes of native HA found in the horse's body.

To support your horse's joints, choose Synovate HA®.

Nano•E™ provides highly bioavailable natural vitamin E to horses through a unique delivery system. The availability and necessity of vitamin E in equine diets is well established. When healthy horses are given frequent access to fresh green forage such as good-quality pasture, there is little need for supplementation of vitamin E. However, many horses today are managed without fresh forage in their diets. These horses can survive in such management systems, but they will likely not be consuming sufficient vitamin E for optimal health.

Vitamin E is first and foremost an antioxidant, an agent that keeps free radicals from forming and potentially weakening cells and tissues. In addition to its antioxidant responsibilities, vitamin E is vital to immune, cardiovascular, circulatory, neuromuscular, and reproductive functions. Therefore, supplementation with an effective vitamin E supplement is recommended for all horses that do not consume a significant quantity of green pasture.

Natural Vitamin E Is Preferred Research has revealed that vitamin E varies in its potency, based on whether it is natural or synthetic. The chemical structures of synthetic and natural vitamin E differ. Natural vitamin E is recognized as d-alpha-tocopherol, and is made up of a single isomer. Synthetic vitamin E, termed dl-alpha tocopherol, contains a mixture of eight different isomers, four tocopherols and four tocotrienols. Of these eight, only one is molecularly equivalent to natural vitamin E. Sources of natural vitamin E, especially Nano•E™, more effectively raise serum levels when compared to synthetic, as shown in Figure 1.

Figure 1. Nano•E™, a source of natural vitamin E, more effectively raises serum vitamin E levels when compared to synthetic vitamin E. Dose response equals multiple of 0 hr value which is represented as 1. Alpha-tocopherol is the form of vitamin E that is most abundant in the body, and is therefore the most appropriate for use in supplementation.

To make alpha-tocopherol stable for use in most supplements, it must be chemically joined with an acid during manufacture, a process called esterification. The acid, in this case acetate, acts as a padlock or protective cap that shields alpha-tocopherol from the damages caused by exposure to oxidative forces. Without esterification, alpha-tocopherol can quickly denature, losing its antioxidant properties and rendering it ineffective.

Once ingested, esterified alpha-tocopherol is subjected to normal digestive enzymes. A certain group of enzymes called esterases are chemically capable of unlocking the padlock created through esterification. Once free, alpha-tocopherol is available for absorption with its antioxidant properties intact.

Delivering Vitamin E Eficiently Fat-soluble vitamins like vitamin E must be offered to horses in a way that maximizes absorption. Because it is not mixed with other ingredients, the vitamin E in Nano•E™ does not need to be protected by esterification, but it must become water-soluble or dispersible in liquid. This presents a challenge: As everyone knows, oil and water don't mix.

Figure 2. Each water-soluble vitamin E nanoparticle in Nano•E™ is encapsulated or surrounded by liposomes, which allows the nanoparticle to mix evenly throughout a water-based environment such as the gastrointestinal tract. Researchers developed a method by which fat-soluble vitamins can be absorbed with great effi ciency. Because of its oily nature, vitamin E is hydrophobic (water-shunning). To overcome this, researchers use proprietary technology to encapsulate the vitamin E in nanoparticles and then surround each nanoparticle with a hydrophilic (water-loving) outer layer. The hydrophilic outer layer, as illustrated in Figure 2, allows the nanoparticles to be rapidly and evenly released in water-based environments such as the gastrointestinal tract. The differences in bioavailability among vitamin E sources are shown in Figure 3.

The greatest benefit of this unique delivery system is an increase in the bioavailability of vitamin E. The more vitamin E that is absorbed into the bloodstream, the more available it is for use as a body-wide antioxidant essential for tissue repair and for its imperative roles in various body systems.

Figure 3. Differences in relative bioavailability of various vitamin E sources. Nano•E™ is more bioavailable than other common sources of vitamin E. Synthetic bioavailability equals 1. Research Confirms Efficacy Controlled studies at Kentucky Equine Research indicate that Nano•E™ is superior to synthetic and other natural vitamin E sources.

Nano•E: Appropriate for Use in Many Horses Confinement Horses that do not have access to pasture may not be consuming optimal levels of vitamin E. Nano•E™ provides this essential vitamin in a form that is easily absorbed, and is appropriate for horses of all ages that are stabled due to training schedules, travel, or injury.

Performance Horses asked to work strenuously benefit from Nano•E™. A regular schedule of training and competition makes performance horses susceptible to muscle damage, which is due largely to oxidative stress. Nano•E™ provides fast-acting antioxidant protection for hard-working horses.

Breeding Appropriate for broodmares and stallions, Nano•E™ provides optimal antioxidant protection. Broodmares benefit from increased fertility and increased transfer of passive immunity to their foals. Vitamin E supplementation has been linked to increased libido and semen quality in stallions.

Neurological problems Veterinarians and researchers have found that vitamin E supplementation often helps in recovery from certain neurological problems. Nano•E™ provides natural-source vitamin E in a form that is quickly absorbed.

Stressful events Prior to relocation, long-distance travel, weaning, or other stress-inducing events, Nano•E™ provides a boost to antioxidant and immune defenses.

Convalescence Following injuries such as lacerations, puncture wounds, or burns, the addition of Nano•E™ to the diet will increase antioxidant activity and enhance recovery.

Feeding Directions Daily Use: give 4-8 mL (1000-2000 IU) per 1100 lb (500 kg) horse by mouth or top-dress on feed.

Pre-Competition: give 12-20 mL (3000-5000 IU) per 1100 lb (500 kg) horse 6-12 hours prior to competition or stressful event.

Guaranteed Analysis: 250 IU d-alpha-tocopherol per mL

 Advances in veterinary medicine have uncovered several metabolic disorders that affect horses. In general, these disorders have an effect on the production of energy within individual cells. Signs of metabolic problems, however, vary from horse to horse. Because of this, the nutritional management of these horses often veers from traditional methods.

Many overweight horses are prone to metabolic problems. Horses on low-grain diets often do not consume sufficient amounts of feed to fulfill their vitamin and mineral needs. For these horses, Kentucky Equine Research has formulated this concentrated, low-calorie, low-starch source of vitamins and trace minerals.

• Appropriate for horses on forage-only or low-grain diets
• Provides horses with top-notch vitamin and mineral nutrition
• Supports optimal digestibility through the inclusion of yeast culture
• Pelleted form allows for easy feeding
• Appropriate for both horses and ponies

Chondrogen EQ™ is the premiere combination joint supplement with hyaluronic acid, glucosamine and chondroitin. The product is veterinarian researched and developed. Chondrogen EQ™ is suitable for all breeds, and uses for horses to support joint health and flexibility. Molasses flavoring offers the horse owner a highly palatable product. Glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate are substances found naturally in the body. Glucosamine is a form of amino sugar that is believed to play a role in cartilage formation and repair. Chondroitin sulfate is part of a large protein molecule (proteoglycan) that gives cartilage elasticity. Hyaluronic Acid is a component of synovial fluid in the joint capsule and in the supporting tissues around the joint. In the joint, Hyaluronic Acid is responsible for directly lubricating the joint by making the synovial fluid more viscous and slippery, providing cushion and protection against friction. EQ is recommended to support joint health and flexibility and normal cartilage health in any breed with an emphasis on older animals with the wear and tear associated with age.

Chondrogen EQ™ is the original combination joint supplement with HA for equines, backed with established and continuing veterinarian research.

Conquer® Liquid At 100 mg per dose (200 mg per ounce), Conquer® Liquid is developed specifically to help maintain the health of your animal's joints. HA is safe, non-toxic and a naturally occurring glycosaminoglycan with its highest concentration found in all vertebrates' connective tissue and joint fluid.

Conquer® Liquid is a clinically proven HA product based on a controlled blind study, as published in the Equine Veterinary Journal (2006).
