Product Overview
KER EquiShure 7.2kg
EquiShure is appropriate for all horses at risk of suffering from subclinical acidosis. At-risk horses often express one or more signs that can derail athletic performance as well as reduce growth or reproductive potential. Signs of subclinical acidosis include decreased feed intake or complete inappetence in severe cases, mild to moderate colic signs of unexplained origin, poor feed efficiency and subsequent weight loss, loss of performance, and development of certain vices such as wood chewing, weaving, and stall walking.
Feeding Directions:
Top-dress EquiShure in daily grain ration.
Feed 30 to 180 g daily according to the horse’s size and risk for hindgut acidosis. Use the table below to determine recommended daily amount based on horse’s grain intake, forage source, and weight. Top-dress EquiShure on feed or give orally.

![d1-alpha tocopherol Alpha-tocopherol Antioxidants like vitamin E protect cells from free radicals. Free radicals are unstable molecules that steal electrons from other molecules to become stable, causing the other molecules, like DNA and cell membranes, to become unstable.
Free radicals are naturally produced when horses metabolize carbohydrates, fat, or protein to make energy. Free radicals are not completely bad. A small amount are needed to help cells respond to signals in the body.
However, too much free radical damage, called oxidative stress, damages cells often to the point of cell death. This will cause organs and tissues like the liver and muscles to not function properly and negatively impact the horse’s health, resulting in premature aging.
Antioxidants are compounds that neutralize free radicals before they cause damage. Antioxidants come in many forms. Vitamins (vitamin E and C), minerals (selenium) and enzymes (glutathione peroxidase) all work together to provide optimal antioxidant protection.
Vitamin E eases muscle soreness and stiffness in exercising horses, helping them sustain high levels of activity.
Having adequate intake of this vitamin will help muscles recover after exercise which can support athletic performance. [1]
Horses with adequate vitamin E intake are less likely to experience chronic tying up (defences rhabdomyolysis).
Vitamin E boosts the immune response, enhancing the bacteria killing capacity of immune cells. This helps horses recover from illness quickly. [2]
Vitamin E can help horses with insulin resistance. According to Dr. Nicholas Frank at the University of Tennessee, daily intake of 1000 IU could help improve insulin sensitivity.
Having adequate antioxidant defences can minimize stress and health issues related to travel and competition, helping your horses stay healthy and ready to compete. [4]
It can prevent or minimize the effects of neurological disorders like equine motor neurone disease (EMND) and equine degenerative myeloencephalopathy (EDM) from developing. [3]
Horses with polysaccharide storage myopathy (PSSM), also known as equine polysaccharide storage myopathy (EPSM) have a higher burden of oxidative stress. Vitamin E could help horses with this muscular disorder.](https://cdn11.bigcommerce.com/s-texcm/images/stencil/500x659/products/229/536/Vitamin_E_product_photo__81922.1649274718.jpg?c=2 "d1-alpha tocopherol Alpha-tocopherol Antioxidants like vitamin E protect cells from free radicals.
