Horses suffering from sweet itch

Sweet itch is a metabolic disorder that can have different causes. Ultimately, the root of the problem lies in a polluted metabolism caused by toxins from different sources (dying microorganisms due to incorrect feeding, exposure to synthetic additives from feed, environmental pollution, etc.).

Mineral deficiencies can also have a negative impact. The aim is to get the organism back on track. Horses that have developed sweet itch usually suffer from metabolic stress for a longer period of time.

Experience has shown that an annual intestinal cleansing and detoxification during the winter months that accompanies therapy is beneficial in order to keep the horses permanently symptom-free. Depending on how long the horse has been suffering from it, it is quite possible that, despite therapy in the first two to three years, it will still develop symptoms in the summer and will also need support for its metabolism in the summer.

What you should consider when keeping and feeding horses suffering from sweet itch

Little concentrate

If so, then pure grain or a feed that is FREE from synthetics additives is. Also pay attention to pure naturalness when it comes to mineral feed!

Low-protein grasses

On the pasture, grasses that are primarily rich in structure and low in protein should be available to the horse. Some examples of low-protein grasses are timothy, meadow or red fescue.

Mineral balance

Pay attention to a balanced mineral balance. Micronutrients and trace elements, as well as B vitamins and zinc, can support skin metabolism.

Fatty acids

Omega-3 fatty acids are known for their anti-inflammatory properties. Overall, care should be taken to ensure an adequate supply of essential fatty acids.

Intestinal cleansing

Toxin levels in the basic feed as well as an oversupply of protein are often the causes of metabolic overload. It is therefore important to cleanse the intestines and support it in rebuilding healthy intestinal flora.

External care

In addition, you should provide the affected skin areas with adequate care. Only natural products should be used that do not contain any dyes, parabens or other skin-irritating substances.

Product tips for supplying fatty acids and minerals

EquiGreen HuminoMineral 1 kg

Mineral complementary feed for horsesHigh-quality nutrient source with HuminoMin® complex, powderEquiGreen HuminoMineral cosists of the unique HuminoMin-Complex® and natural nutrients. It is rich in essential amino acids, vitamins, minerals, and trace elements. Particularly noteworthy is its high content of zinc and magnesium. EquiGreen HuminoMineral also contains a lot of folic acid as well as vitamin E, B vitamins, ß-carotene, sulfur, potassium, and selenium.Special feature of the HuminoMin® complex: Intestinal health and environmental conditions also play a role that should not be underestimated when it comes to the absorption and utilization of the required micronutrients. This is where the HuminoMin® complex comes in: Due to its elaborate composition, the mucous membranes of the stomach and intestine are protected and supported in their function, which favors the absorption of necessary micronutrients. In addition, the HuminoMin complex supports the regulation of acid-base balance and is characterized by excellent cell-protecting antioxidant properties.Due to the high toxin-binding properties of the HuminoMin® complex, toxins from bacteria and fungi or also toxins supplied from outside, such as glyphosate, are already bound in the intestine and excreted via the feces. This reduces the burden on the organism because the toxins do not enter the blood, and organs and tissues remain protected. The presence of glyphosate in more and more feedstuffs, of plant and also animal origin, can lead to a deficiency of micronutrients, although there would actually be enough minerals and trace elements. These nutrients cannot be absorbed because they are bound by glyphosate.HuminoMin® complex: • mucosal protection for stomach and intestine • toxin binding in the intestine • excellent feed conversion - micronutrients are better absorbed • cell protection through antioxidant properties • regulation of acid-base balance • support of the immune defense by balancing the lack of mineralsComposition: maerl, sunflower seed expeller, malt rootlets, seaweed meal, grape pips meal, brewers‘ yeast, brewers‘ yeast cell walls (MOS), peaAdditives/kg: Technological additives: clinoptilolite of sedimentary origin (1g568) 20 g.Total quantity of clinoptilolite of sedimentary origin from all sources shall not exceed the maximum content of 10000 mg/kg.Analytical constituents: calcium 15.4%, phosphorus 0.26%, sodium 0.26%, magnesium 1.04%, ash insoluble in HCl 6%Feeding recommendation: Add approx. 30 g/animal daily to the feed.

Parasites – no thanks

Even if flies, mosquitoes, horseflies and the like are not the main cause of sweet itch, they are still a huge nuisance to the affected animals. Natural repellents can effectively and sustainably ward off summer pests from fleas and mosquitoes to horseflies and ticks.

The basis for these effective products is a unique combination of various plant extracts and essential oils, which form an impenetrable firewall for the highly sensitive olfactory organs of insects without putting a strain on the olfactory nerves of humans and four-legged friends. Thanks to the unique composition of purely plant-based substances, they are gentle on the animals' fur and skin and have a long-lasting and intensive effect.

Feeding with Egyptian black cumin oil can also be beneficial, as it also has a positive effect on skin metabolism and has been known for several years to offer a good alternative to protection against ectoparasites. In addition, Egyptian black cumin oil is rich in omega-3 fatty acids.
