Supplement for horses with respiratory problems
Strengthen a weakened immune system and avoid problems with horse cough
A common cause of cough in horses is a dusty environment and poor ventilation in the stable. Horses living in dusty environments or fed dusty hay can develop irritations in the respiratory tract. Therefore, it is important to ensure a good stable environment with regular cleaning and good ventilation. Using dust-free bedding and wet hay or haylage can also help reduce the risk of irritations.
Allergies can also lead to horse cough and respiratory problems. Common allergens include mold, pollen, and dust mites. If your horse shows allergic symptoms, it may be necessary to adjust their environment and diet to minimize exposure to these allergens.
Another serious cause of cough in horses is respiratory infections, such as bronchitis or pneumonia. These conditions can be caused by bacteria, viruses, or fungi and may require treatment with antibiotics or other medications. It is important for a veterinarian to examine the horse to determine the cause of the infection and recommend the appropriate treatment.
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), also known as "dust allergy" or "heaves," is another cause of cough and breathing problems in horses. This condition, similar to asthma in humans, can make it very difficult for the horse to breathe. Horses with COPD often need lifelong management of their symptoms, including changes in the environment and sometimes medical treatment.

If your horse shows signs of cough or breathing difficulties, it is important to act quickly. Contact a veterinarian for an accurate diagnosis and treatment recommendations. By early identification and management of respiratory problems, you can help your horse recover faster and maintain their health and well-being.
However, beyond the above advice, there are feed supplements you can give your horse to strengthen the immune system and reduce the impact of respiratory problems. Herbs help your horse strengthen the immune system and respiratory distress when, for example, the roughage has too small a proportion of herbs, Omega 3 - DHA fatty acids can support when there are inflammatory causes, and vitamin C supports the immune system against viruses and bacterial attacks that cause coughing. If you are unsure of the cause of the cough, you can try one at a time or combine the products.
Inflaboost DHA
The benefits of DHA from microalgae were reported by the University of Liège in Belgium when they found increased circulation in the red blood cells of horses that received DHA and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) added to their diet. Inflaboost DHA is a strong antioxidant with positive properties for airways, circulation, and the immune system.
C-boost
Vitamin C in the form of Sodium Ascorbate is needed to strengthen the immune system during stresses. It improves oxygenation and protects the body's cells. During stress and high strain, the horse's ability to produce enough vitamin C is impaired. Another reason for cough and mucus formation may be common colds, viruses, or bacteria attacking the horse. If so, it may be a good idea to support the immune system with sodium ascorbate found in C-Boost.
Activ Mineral
Minerals, trace elements, and all 20 amino acids are vital for all body functions to operate optimally. The foundation is provided in Activ Mineral's unique composition, which is free from unnecessary fillers and flavor enhancers.
Leber-Fit
The liver and kidneys are the body's detoxification and purification plants. Under high strain, the liver and kidneys can show signs of reduced function via poor blood values. The herbal blend Leber-fit is a specially composed herbal mixture that supports the horse's liver, kidneys, and bladder function. It contains, among other things, milk thistle and dandelion to support the organs.
Broncho-Fit
A rich herbal flora in roughage containing many herbs contributes to a strong immune system. If the roughage contains a smaller amount with various herbs, the horse does not get as much of the important trace elements and essential oils that help keep the immune system strong. Herbal supplements can help your horse with respiratory problems such as cough, troubled breathing, or nasal flow. Licorice root, thyme, fennel, and anise are examples of herbs that help open up the airways. These herbs plus a few more are in a well-balanced mix in Broncho-Fit, which can be given as a preventive course or periodically to get the organs to function optimally again.
