Product Details

Application

EQUIPUR - opticort effectively compensates for feed-related deficiencies in vital substances, which can be caused by the increased release of the stress hormone ACTH in equine Cushing's syndrome (ECS). Due to the ECS-typical imbalance in the hormone system, there is a particular nutritional requirement in the areas of coat, hooves, musculoskeletal system, digestion, immune system, etc.

given with the feed.
Due to the increased content of trace elements daily ration should not be more than doubled. Do not feed to pregnant mares.

Feeding period

In order to achieve the optimum effect, the feeding period should be at least 3 weeks. Depending on clinical results, however, feeding for a longer period throughout the year is recommended to improve results.

According to the anti-doping and medication control rules of the “Deutsche Reiterliche Vereinigung (FN)“, there is a recommended waiting period (from the last application to assignment in a competition) of 48 hours for this product due to a portion of herbs of over 3% and tryptophan.

Feeding Equipur- and EquiPower-products according to directions will not contribute to a relevant increase of cobalt levels in blood or urine and therefore it is ADMR conform. FEI classification is prohibited substance (“Care must be taken when using high doses of supplements containing Cobalt”).

General findings of nutritional science

Equine Cushing's syndrome (ECS) is a pathological overproduction of the stress hormone cortisol. It is usually triggered by a benign tumor in the pituitary gland. This hormone disorder leads to numerous physical changes, e.g. in the coat (long and frizzy coat, coat change disorders), hoof (laminitis due to a disturbance of the microcirculation in the hoof corium), blood sugar (increased due to insulin resistance), immune system (weakened defenses), musculoskeletal system (muscle breakdown, connective tissue weakness), appearance (sagging belly and back, fat redistribution), liver metabolism (loss of performance, tiredness, emaciation), kidney function (increased thirst, frequent urination, heavy sweating), etc.

Monk‘s pepper has a regulating effect on the hormone balance and the formation of the stress hormone cortisol.

Magnesium, tryptophan, vitamin B12 as well as tyrosine and phenylalanin from soy reduce the susceptibility of Cushing's horses to stress.

Biotin, zinc, copper and methionine support the change of coat, improve the hair structure and optimize the quality of the hoof horn.

Ginseng, cinnamon, zinc and chromium (from brewer's yeast) promote glucose utilization and thus support the normalization of blood sugar levels.

Probiotics, prebiotics (MOS) and apple pomace support digestion, strengthen the intestinal flora and thus activate the body's natural defenses.

Antioxidants such as vitamins E & C, selenium and omega-3 fatty acids from linseed oil and procyanides from grape seed flour strengthen the immune system. Together with ginkgo and ginseng, they protect the blood circulation in the hoof corium as a decisive factor in laminitis.

Silicon, MSM and vitamin C ensure strong and elastic hoof capillaries.

Lysine and soybean protein concentrate promote the development and maintenance of muscles.

Milk thistle, artichoke, dandelion and liquorice harmonize liver function and energy metabolism.
