Feed and nutrients to strengthen the horse's airways
Strengthen and protect the horse's airways
Horses' respiratory health is crucial for their overall well-being and performance. Since respiratory problems are common in horses, especially those kept in stalls or exposed to dust and allergens, it is important to provide the right nutrition to prevent and alleviate these issues. By including specific feed and nutrients in the horse's diet, one can help protect and strengthen the horse's airways.
Fiber-rich forage
The horse’s digestive system is designed to process forage, such as hay and grass. High-quality forage not only promotes digestion but also helps maintain healthy airways. Dust-free hay and haylage are especially important for horses with sensitive airways, as dust particles can irritate the respiratory system. Always choose dust-free hay or haylage and ensure it is stored dry and clean.
Omega-3 fatty acids
Omega-3 fatty acids found in Inflaboost DHA have anti-inflammatory properties that can help reduce airway inflammation and strengthen the horse's immune system. Algal oil is an excellent source of omega-3 that can improve respiratory function and reduce the risk of allergic reactions. Add omega-3 to the horse's daily diet to support respiratory health.
Vitamin C and E
Antioxidants like vitamin C and E are known to protect cells from oxidative stress, which can help safeguard the lungs and airways. Vitamin C, especially when combined with vitamin E, can help reduce lung inflammation and aid horses exposed to environmental respiratory irritants, such as dust and pollen. Provide the horse with supplements containing vitamins C and E to strengthen its resistance to respiratory issues.
Alfalfa
Alfalfa is a nutrient-rich legume containing protein and minerals essential for a strong body and immune system. It is also high in fiber and low in dust, making it an excellent choice for horses with sensitive airways. Alfalfa can serve as a low-dust alternative source of fiber when traditional hay is not of sufficient quality. Include alfalfa in the horse's feed, especially if you need a dust-free and nutritious forage.
Magnesium
Magnesium is known to help relax muscles, including those in the respiratory system. A magnesium deficiency can lead to tension and spasms in the bronchi, which may worsen breathing problems. Including magnesium in the diet can thus help horses with respiratory difficulties to breathe more easily. Add magnesium-rich supplements to support airway relaxation and prevent spasms.
Prebiotics
A healthy gut flora is essential for a strong immune system, which also affects respiratory health. Prebiotics support the digestive system and help the horse absorb nutrients efficiently, which in turn strengthens the immune system and reduces the risk of inflammatory respiratory issues.
