What is Quiessence™?

Quiessence is a Magnesium(Mg) based feed supplement. As well as providing much needed Magnesium for the body, the supplement provides synergistic B vitamins and Chromium also a mineral.

 

Horses who may benefit from the feed supplement Quiessence:

Horses with dietary concerns such as obesity or laminitic predispositions

Horses whose main diet consists of processed feed stuff
Horses grazing land known to be low in magnesium
Horses grazing on acid soils
Horses who have problems gaining or maintaining weight
Horses prone to or at risk of founder
Horses prone to cresty necks
Horses with nerve conditions

Nervous, high-strung horses

Other general nerve conditions

Why supplement with Magnesium for dietary concerns such as founder, obesity or cresty necks?

In a study we conducted in 2002/2003 horses with thick cresty necks (that were also founder prone), showed a reduction in neck thickness and hardness when fed a magnesium supplement. The reduction in neck thickness made the horses easier to manage and ride and handle as well being more aesthetically pleasing.

Feed Quiessence if your horse can be described as one or more of the following :

Nervous, tense horses which show an inability to learn and concentrate will often show improvement if supplemented with Magnesium.

Horses which tend to have tight tense muscles, are slow to warm up and have 'sore' or 'tight' backs, can also show improvement if Magnesium is supplied.

Horses which are in work, kept in stables and fed on preserved and processed foodstuffs often benefit from Magnesium supplementation in their diets.

Horses who are easy keepers and on a hay-only diet

Horses prone to or with a history of founder

Horses with cresty necks

Horses whose weight is hard to manage either from low weight or obesity
- this supplement serves to balance out their nutrient needs

Quiessence provides 5g of elemental Magnesium per 1 oz.(28g) and is a safe, reliable source of Magnesium.

What is TractGardTM?


TractGard: GI tract re-hydrator, antacid & digestaid: Effective agains Colic and Ulcers

This product is an Equine GI tract rehydrator, antacid and digestaid. Designed by Melyni Worth, an equine nutritionist, to help with excess acidity following grain feeding and to increase fluid retention in the GI tract. TractGard will NOT interfere or react with other supplements. 

Indications are:

Before shipping or showing. At strange show grounds or other places where your horse may not drink.
For those chilly nights in the fall or spring when horses do not drink well.
Any time your horse may be a risk for colic - such as, but not limited to, stress
Best fed with grain ration: it helps to minimize acidity from excess grain.
Contains Diamond V Yeast, which will improve digestion of fiber and protein.
Get peace of mind knowing that your horse will drink which will keep his digesta more fluid.
Easy to feed pelleted formula. Just add to grain ration.

TractGard is a mix of mineral salts and electrolytes, designed to pull water into the GI tract and to buffer excess acids. Diamond V yeast to help with good digestion and Linseed meal to provide mucilage to keep the stools soft. Diamond V also helps with fiber and protein digestion which should result in improved weightgain, coat condition and hoof growth with regular use of the TractGard.

TractGard will cause your horse to drink and hence keep more water available for digestion. Especially useful in the fall and spring when horses often typically do not drink well. Make sure fresh water is available to horses getting TractGard.

It keeps the digesta more fluid, and therefore minimizes or prevents impaction colics. You will need to monitor carefully your horse's stools and water consumption, at least in the beginning. The more fluid digesta may result in more fluid stools, but this is only a temporary effect. If the stools are too lose then decrease the dosage of TractGard. Recommended increments: Start out with about 1/2 tablespoonful (1/2 oz.) per day, than increase to up to 1/2 - 1 oz. per meal. You can go up to six tablespoonfuls, but experiment at the recommended increments with your horse to find what dosage suits him best.

TractGard is designed to be fed on a daily basis but can be fed on an as needed basis quite safely.

TractGard contains:

Calcium Carbonate
Sodium Bicarbonate
Magnesium Sulfate
Distillers Grains
Diamond V Yeast
Linseed Meal
