Activ-8 is formulated to support a strong immune system which is crucial for overall health and performance.
Factors such as hard training, stress and illness can take their toll on your horse’s immune system with coughs and colds causing unnecessary down-time, health complications and potentially putting other horses at risk of infection.
Kohnke’s Own Activ-8 features specific nutrients which work to improve the responsiveness of the equine immune system, ensuring optimum function to help with recovery.
Horses can benefit from a course of Activ-8 following general sickness, intense competition, prior to long distance travel or when they’re at risk of exposure to respiratory viruses from other horses at events.
Activ-8 includes nutrients that have been scientifically shown to improve immune function and are critically important to equine health and vitality. Activ-8 is a targeted supplement to give when your horse is immune challenged, ‘under the weather’, at risk of infection or when meeting new horses at competitions.
Activ-8 contains a premium, organic chelated form of selenium (as selenomethionine), which has been proven as more effective to help immune function in horses than commonly used inorganic selenium compounds such as sodium selenite and selenate.
Activ-8 provides nutrients necessary for optimal wound healing to help reduce secondary bacterial infections and promote skin regeneration. Activ-8 is recommended when horses have repeated bouts of skin infections, such as ‘greasy heel’ or ‘rain scald’, which may indicate poor immune function.
Activ-8 contains 8 specific dietary nutrients which have roles in immune defence, health and skin healing.
Each scoopful provides 20 grams of Activ-8.
For Horses (400 – 600 kg body weight). Ponies and miniatures use half the amount with same course instructions.
General Course: Horses introduced to a new environment, under immune challenge from viral or bacterial infection, or to support wound healing. Provide 20 grams in each of the morning and evening feeds for 7-10 days (total 40 grams per day), then 20 grams daily for a further 10-14 days.
Short Course: Horses prior to hard competition or long distance travel, broodmares at stud or young horses prior to sale. Provide 20 grams in each of the morning and evening feeds for 7-10 days prior to and during the event and for 5-7 days on return (40 grams daily).
Maintenance Supplement: Aged horses or those in regular hard training with chronic immune suppression or recurrent infection and illness. Horses can be given 20 grams daily for extended periods if their feed does not supply the recommended levels of nutrients contained in Activ-8.
