Horse Vets work in all parts of the world, with all types of Equids: from million-dollar racehorses to the working donkeys and horses in Third World countries. The veterinary work focusing on working equines might not get a lot of coverage in magazines and journals, but that says nothing about the importance of the work.
So many options in complementary feeds but which one do you choose? When selecting a complementary feed, what do you pay attention to and which one suits which indication? At Grovet, we are driven to exceed horse vet expectations and are constantly developing our product line to keep optimising it.

Bonpard Enteral Nutrition - for nasogastric feeding of horses that cannot or do not want to eat
Horses that cannot or will not eat due to surgery or serious illness need to be provided with essential nutrients to support recovery. In particular, water, energy, electrolytes, protein and vitamins are important for these horses. Nutrients can be administered to these horses via a nasogastric tube, often using pellets dissolved in water that can easily clog up the nasogastric tube.
Bonpard has developed a product that contains the most important nutrients for ill horses and can be easily administered through a nasogastric tube.

Stomach ulcers in sport horses
Grovet's Equizol is an omeprazole granulate for the treatment of gastric ulcers in horses. Stomach ulcers are very common in sport horses, with a prevalence of about 90% in both racehorses in training and high-level endurance horses. A lower (58%) prevalence of gastric ulcers has been reported in competition horses in other disciplines, and it is frequently found even in horses that are trained intensively (53%).
Inhibition of gastric acid production is considered the therapeutic basis of the treatment of gastric ulcers in horses. Omeprazole is the drug of choice for this purpose.
Our colleagues Michelle and Sylvia attended last month the 11th edition of EEHNC in Gent for the workshop "update on claims and legislation" for equine nutrition. It was a very useful workshop for our colleagues Michelle and Sylvia responsible for equine nutrition and claims at Grovet. The EEHNC is an international congress focused on equine health and nutrition. We look forward to next year's edition.
