Description
Hygain Safeguard EQ is a pelleted broad-spectrum mycotoxin binder formulated for all equines, which may assist in the quick and effective absorption of mycotoxins, minimizing associated negative health and performance problems.
Due to the difficulty to predict the occurrence of mycotoxins in your horses diet, it is advised to add a broad-spectrum mycotoxin binder to your horses diet, which simply binds the mycotoxins and passes them through the digestive tract, exiting with the manure.
Certain fungi found on fresh pasture grasses, conserved roughage (hay, chaff, straw) and in grains can produce secondary compounds called mycotoxins.
Several types of mycotoxins exist which may interact, especially under favourable environmental conditions, such as in warm and humid climates (as well as in improperly stored feeds).
Mycotoxins may contaminate feeds or grains and are hard to detect due to their odourless, tasteless and invisible presence.
The horses digestive system is sensitive to the effects of mycotoxins, as the gastric juices in the stomach cannot effectively deactivate the mycotoxins and these therefore enter the sensitive small intestine and hindgut.
Once mycotoxins reach the hindgut they may affect the intestinal wall or enter the horses blood stream, which can result in respiratory, gastrointestinal, neurological and reproductive issues.
This is why a toxin binder for horses is crucial to their diet.
Even though symptoms are usually non-specific, associated clinical signs with the existence of mycotoxins in horses diet include:
Poor condition (weight loss)
Reduced performance
Lethargy
Depression
Suppressed appetite
Lameness
Respiratory diseases
Gastrointestinal diseases (e.g. colic)
Reproductive failures
Neurological disorders (e.g. neurotoxicity, Fatal leucoencephalomalacia, ataxia)
Immunosuppression
Atypical myopathy (muscle disease
