RECOVERY SUPPLEMENTATION
The care of a horse following a set back or illness can have a profound effect on both the speed of recovery and outcome and in many cases the long term quality of life. Experience soon teaches you which things help in certain situations and when to recommend them. These 5 formulas and Noof can be very helpful.
L94 – There is not a situation where this does not help. The liver is the body’s main chemical processing plant and most of the blood arrives at the liver direct from the intestines via the portal vein, it is heavily laden with nutrients and with the daily delivery of dietary toxic substances. Include with it all the debris from medicines, the increased mass of cell walls of dead bacteria and other toxic matter and the liver has to work even harder at a time when health state is still fragile.
100 ml/day for 10 days then 50 ml/day for 20 days if necessary
ASHVA MITRA – A longer term follow on to the L94. Still attending to Liver, Spleen Pancreas and kidneys this bring in a lecithin source and a cleaning action on dirty filters from the intestinal tract, it has a soothing healing effect on the gut and smoothes evacuation. The lecithin contents helps fat assimilation and it helps nerves and nerve endings. (In the case of laminitis follow L94 with Founderfrei)
Overlap for a few days with L94. Feed at 2 to 3 Spoonful/Day (30/45 g) in with the bucket feed.
HYDROBASE – Feed with L94 or Ashva Mitra or on its own if muscles are tense and tight. When lacklustre, depressed and only has short term energy coupled with bouts of spookiness. In cases of horses tying up feed Hydrobase T with Ashva Mitra
Feed after DAY 5 of L94 or with Ashva Mitra at 3 Spoonfuls per day split into at least two feeds.
ARUN POWDER – Follow L94 for horses that have difficulty returning to form after a viral challenge. When you want to stimulate powers of resistance and increase the effectiveness of the protective white blood cells. To help isolate (by adsorption) positive allergens and pathogens before absorption into the blood stream. To help fix calcium in bones and optimise the repair and elasticity of fractured bone, torn muscle and tendon.
Feed at 4 teaspoonfuls per day split into at two feed for at least 21 days or longer. Can be fed in conjunction with Echinacea augustifolia and Ashva Mitra and Hydrobase if necessary.
TEN-FOUR-G – Can be fed at the same time as L94 for horses that had lost body fluids, exhausted and are not making sufficient early recovery. The 10% L-Glutamine in Ten-Four-G helps augment the genesis of immunity and it is more palatable than ordinary electrolytes.
If necessary feed at 1 to2 spoonfuls each feed throughout recovery especially in especially in hot weather.
NOOF AND NOOF AZ WASH – Apply/spray during recovery from skin infections and haircoat problems.
Use sparingly at first if necessary at the same time as feeding L94 or Ashva Mitra or in the case of Sweet itch Berberine Mixture.
