| A horse
suffering from acute laminitis is seriously
ill and it is vital that he receives enough
nutrients to repair the damage happening
within his gut, foot and elsewhere in
his body. He is in an anabolic state which
means he needs to make new proteins to
repair the damage in his body. This is
an energy demanding process and it is
vital that he receives correct energy,
protein, vitamins and minerals from his
diet.
The feed provided should be in high in
fibre, low in starch and provide adequate
levels of vitamins and minerals. Dodson
& Horrell Safe & Sound was formulated
after much research into the dietary requirements
of horses prone to and suffering from
laminitis. This high fibre feed provides
everything that is needed plus additional
benefits including biotin, MSM and herbs.
Also, the uniquely processed ‘nutri-nut’
found in Safe & Sound helps to maximise
chewing and increases eating time.
Recent research has also shown conclusively
that high levels of free radicals are
found in chronic laminitics*. In light
of this research, it is paramount that
all horses prone to or suffering from
laminitis are fed with the right balance
of plant based antioxidants. With this
in mind Safe & Sound also includes
QLC, the unique blend of antioxidants
which supports the horse’s own natural
antioxidant system.
