Why is gut health so important?
Gut health plays an important role not only in uptaking nutrients but also in disease prevention, metabolism balance, behaviour, & general vitality. Research shows sub-optimal gut health is linked to various health issues.
Numerous stressors may compromise gut health. These can be hard to avoid in daily life, and include food composition & regimen, pathogens, mycotoxins, environment, travel, intense work & climate stressors. Thanks to EAC's cutting-edge “BIM” technology & high-quality ingredients, in-sideout horse can help support your equine partner & optimise their performance.
Poseidon Digestive RP is a total tract equine gut supplement, designed to meet the needs of high performance sport horses and racehorses. Digestive RP provides increased support for your horse's gut health and essential digestive and immune functions, with extra postbiotics and enzymes to enhance digestion efficacy, and additional amino acids for additional muscle repair and gut support.
This premium equine gut health product offers the benefits of:
• extra digestive enzymes for improved digestion and nutrient uptake,
• extra dual action stomach pH buffering with red marine algae and magnesium hydroxide,
• prebiotics plus a higher level of post biotics for extra gut protection and repair,
• five amino acids for stomach health and cell repair,
• an updated magnesium to calcium ratio to ensure optimum absorption and metabolisation levels
• and Elitox mycotoxin binder.
Why choose Digestive RP?
The gut of high performance sport horses and racehorses is often put under a lot of pressure, with more challenging environments, higher workloads, more 'stress' events, and higher grain levels in their feed regimes. These conditions create challenges we need to manage well, in order for a horse to maintain healthy gut function, and be able to race or perform at its best.
Digestive RP has been created to help these high performance horses, and horses on higher grain diets maintain normal gut health and function. It provides extra support compared to DigestiveEQ, to support these horses with their more challenging than ‘normal’ environments, workloads and feeding regimes.
Look for the signs of good gut health in your sporthorse or racehorse - glossy coat, good energy and performance levels, healthy hooves, calmer behaviour, good appetite, good manure, great topline and overall condition.

Pack Weights:
1.5kg (50 days supply) 450-600kg horse
4kg (133 days supply) 450-600kg horse
10kg (333 days supply) 450-600kg horse
Ingredient Information:
BIOTIN (VITAMIN B7) is a B-complex vitamin that plays a vital role in maintaining the overall health and strength of a horse's hooves. Hoof health is crucial for a horse's mobility, performance, and overall well-being. Biotin is known to enhance hoof growth and improve the quality of the hoof horn.
CALCIUM can be beneficial, especially for horses with hoof issues such as weak horn structure or slow hoof growth. It helps ensure that the horse receives an adequate supply of this essential mineral, which is necessary for optimal hoof development and maintenance.
CHELATED ZINC has improved bioavailability, meaning it is more easily absorbed and utilised by the horse's body compared to other forms of zinc. This increased absorption can lead to better utilisation of zinc by the hoof tissues. Contributing to the production of keratin, the protein responsible for hoof growth and strength, zinc plays a crucial role in enzymatic reactions that are necessary for keratin synthesis, making it an essential nutrient for maintaining healthy hooves.
METHIONINE is an essential amino acid that plays a crucial role in maintaining the health and strength of a horse's hooves. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins, and methionine is specifically involved in the synthesis of keratin, which forms the structural basis of the hoof horn.
MSM is a naturally occurring sulphur compound providing several benefits for horse hooves. It supports the production of keratin, the protein responsible for the growth and strength of hooves. By providing an adequate supply of sulphur, MSM aids in the formation of strong, resilient hooves that are less prone to cracking, splitting, and other hoof-related problems.
PHOSPHORUS works in conjunction with calcium to form and maintain strong bones and hooves. It helps in the formation and mineralisation of the hoof horn, contributing to its strength and durability. Adequate levels of phosphorus are essential for proper hoof growth, as well as for repairing and maintaining hoof tissues.
Anitone is an Australian made, natural organic liquid mineral and trace element feed supplement for all animals. Anitone provides over 60 minerals and trace elements in a highly bioavailable, chelated form to supplement the diets of all domestic animals.
Why Anitone?
Anitone is the only liquid animal supplement available on the market for animal production with such a comprehensive range of ingredients, containing not only essential minerals, but also amino acids, and Vitamins A, D and Vitamin E.
Anitone is the only feed supplement on the market that is fermented in a process that mimics natural digestive processes, and is therefore highly palatable and relished by most animals.
How is Anitone made?
Anitone is derived from a careful manufacturing process that involves the fermentation of mineral rich plant extracts together with common stockfeed ingredients, such as molasses. This fermentation process enhances the value of all the ingredients contained in Anitone, and elevates it from a regular stock feed supplement to a "super food".
Vitamins and minerals that have been absorbed into plants form complex molecules called "phytocomplexes". These complicated natural substances cannot be reproduced in a laboratory and are becoming increasingly recognized as superior dietary sources of many nutrients. As the fermentation process used in making Anitone mimics digestion, the vitamins and minerals it contains thus become highly bioavailable to gut microflora immediately after dosing over the tongue, or mixing in feed or water.
There are over 60 minerals contained in Anitone, along with good levels of Vitamin A, D and E, plus a range of amino acids essential for growth and metabolism. In addition, Anitone provides a wide variety of plant origin volatile oils, chlorophyll, sterols, growth factors, alginates, humic and fulvic acids, vitamins and trace minerals, including many trace minerals such as selenium, zinc, iron, copper, cobalt, zinc, chromium, boron, manganese, nickel, vanadium – some of these more obscure elements are being proven by modern research to have emerging roles in maintaining peak metabolic function.
Most of these nutrients are also fundamental to maintaining healthy gut microflora, which perform the real work of digestion for the animal.
Many of these nutrients may be missing from modern diets, especially when they contain processed food, or from marginal pastures during harsh seasons, or may easily become depleted in times of stress and high physical demand.
The addition of Anitone to any animal production operation therefore ensures that animals gain maximum benefit from their daily food due to its supportive effect on gut microflora. However Anitone is a truly multi-tasking product because it can also be used in a bolus dose down the throat to revive a depressed or weakened animal, or to change mental attitude and enable the animal to cope with stress. For this reason, Anitone is a very useful product for animal owners to use to buffer the stress of the transport journey itself, or period of travelling away from home to competitions or sales.
How to Use Anitone:
Anitone is highly water soluble, and is designed for oral use which can be in a variety of ways to suit many operations.
- May be used as an oral drench and mixes well with most water soluble commercial drenches and will not damage drench gun rubbers, animal's mouths or human skin as it is a completely natural product.
- May be poured over feed rations, or mixed through them – either pour over the total ration (calculate per head dose or use at 5% ration), or can be poured or sprayed onto hay, or sprayed over grain via a grain applicator, (standard rate to spray into grain of 10 litres liquid per ton, using 5 litres Anitone mixed with 5 litres water)
- May be added to drinking water wherever there is good flow through watering systems, and may be added to overhead tanks or distributed into sheds and troughs, providing water is not allowed to become stagnant. If added to drinking water, use at rate of 2%, or calculate dose per head according to known water consumption.
- Is useful as a single shotgun dose if not convenient to give regularly, but works best when adapted to frequent and regular doses, at least once or twice weekly if possible. May also be given daily to show and performance animals, or animals that are in recovery or subjected to repeatedly stressful conditions.

Ingredients: A proprietary blend of [Curcuma longa (Madras and Alleppey), Curcuma xanthorrhiza, Powdered coconut oil (PowerStance), Ground black pepper, Resveratrol from Japanese knotweed] 25g
TURMERIC (curcuma longa and curcuma xanthorhizza):
Known as the vibrant golden ingredient used liberally in Indian curries, turmeric has a long history of use in both Indian and Chinese traditional medicine. The inherent therapeutic properties are attributed to the vivid yellow-orange pigments (curcuminoids) that are present in turmeric. They are believed to have powerful antioxidant properties (significantly more so than vitamin E or C) and may increase the body's ability to neutralise free radicals before they damage healthy cells and cell membranes. In combination with its perceived anti-inflammatory effects, turmeric has also been known for its role in the prevention or alleviation of an impressive array conditions.
Turmeric may also be useful in reducing inflammation particularly for animals with arthritis and itchy skin.
GROUND BLACK PEPPER:
The inclusion of ground black pepper to this mix may increase the bio-availabilty and absorption rate of turmeric and Resveratrol.
POWERSTANCE (powdered coconut oil):
Stance Equine's powdered coconut oil supplement is a unique coconut delivery system that gives the benefits of this wonderful tropical oil and may also help to increase the absorption of turmeric in the digestive system. Coconut oil contains high levels of medium chain triglycerides (MCT's) which provide the body with a readily available energy source and Lauric Acid, which converts to monolaurin and may provide anti-bacterial, anti-microbial and anti-fungal properties. The benefits of supplementing animals with coconut oil may include improved digestive health, enhanced coat and skin condition.
RESVERATROL:
Resveratrol is produced in plants to maintain their general health. Normal body functioning gives rise to free radicals with production greatly increased during inflammation and stress. Resveratrol has been added to Turmericle as it is an antioxidant that may help the body efficiently detoxify these free radicals. The resveratrol is derived from Japanese knotweed.

Feed to newborn eutherians in the first 48 hours and marsupials until weaning.
FOR DOSE RATES AND FEEDING CHART SEE DETAILED IMAGE ATTACHED.
TO DOWNLOAD A DETAILED PRODUCT INFORMATION BROCHURE (which includes dose rates and feeding chart)
PLEASE CLICK HERE.
DIRECTIONS FOR EUTHERIANS
This applies to all domestic animals including cats, dogs, rabbits, rats, guinea pigs, horses, alpacas, cows, sheep, pigs & deer. Also used for eutherian wildlife and zoo mammals.
Impact should be fed as soon as possible after birth, and preferably before milk is fed. Impact can be absorbed for upto 48 hours after birth, depending on the species. Weigh the animal and select the appropriate weight range from the chart. Mix the amounts of Impact powder and warm pre-boiled water to make the daily Impact requirement. Refrigerate prepared Impact for one day only or store frozen in ice cube trays for up to 1 month.
Do not mix or feed Impact with milk for Eutherians.
Newborns that have not received maternal colostrum or milk.
First 12 hours: Do not feed milk during this time. Prepare a daily dose of Impact as described above and feed 1/4 of the amount every 2 hours.
Next 36 hours: Commence feeding milk every 4 hours. Prepare a daily dose of Impact as described above and feed 1/4 of the amount every 4 hours. Feed Impact 2 hours after the first milk feed so that the remaining Impact feeds are mid way between the next milk feeds.
Newborns that have received some milk but no maternal colostrum.
First 12 hours: Stop feeding milk. Prepare a daily dose of Impact as described above and feed 1/4 of the amount every 2 hours.
Next 36 hours: Recommence feeding milk. Prepare a daily dose of Impact as described above and feed 1/4 of the amount mid way between milk feeds.
DIRECTIONS FOR MARSUPIALS
Marsupials are different in that they do not produce a colostral milk. Impact is added to marsupial milk because intestinal closure occurs later in marsupiaIs and immunoglobulins are present in milk for much of lactation.
Mix and feed Impact with milk for marsupials.
For very early lactation to mid lactation: Select the appropriate amount of Impact powder for body weight from the chart. Mix the powder into the required daily volume of milk and feed as usual. This procedure may be repeated for up to 5 days.
For late lactation: Select the appropriate amount of Impact for body weight from the chart and add this to the normal daily feed volume of milk. Repeat if required.

Vytrate is a non-antibiotic supportive treatment for scouring or dehydrated calves, lambs, pigs & piglets, foals, dogs, and cats. Vytrate reduces scour duration and severity by replacing lost fluids and electrolytes.
Active Constituents:
Each duo sachet contains:
• 44.61 g Glucose
• 8.58 g Sodium Chloride
• 6.18 g Glycine
• 4.08 g Potassium Phosphate Monobasic
• 0.48 g Citric Acid Monohydrate
• 0.12 g Potassium Citrate
Indications:
A non-antibiotic supportive treatment for scouring or dehydrated calves, pigs, dogs, cats, lambs and foals. A suitable first feed for bought in or stressed calves and pigs. Actively fights the dehydration that kills. Vytrate reduces scour duration and severity, replaces lost fluids and electrolytes.
Dosage:
Reconstitution/ Dilution
Sections 1 and 2 must be used together.
Add the contents of section 1 and section 2 to 2 litres of warm water. Stir until dissolved.
To prepare 500 mL, add 1 level 5 mL medicine spoonful of powder from section 1 and 3 heaped spoonfuls of powder from section 2. Refrigerate remaining solution after use and use within 24 hours. Prepare fresh solution daily.
Foals:
Administer solution, made up as directed, orally to scouring or dehydrated foals by drenching using a bottle or stomach tube. As a guide, 1 to 2 litres of fresh Vytrate solution 2 to 3 times daily, depending on bodyweight and severity of the symptoms, has been reported as a suitable dosage regimen for neonatal foals.
Cats, Dogs:
Vytrate solution, reconstituted as directed, should be made available to diarrhoeic or dehydrated animals as supportive therapy following specific treatment for the conditions described.
Many dogs find Vytrate palatable and will drink the solution voluntarily. Palatability for cats is variable. Vytrate may also be administered orally via dosage syringe. Treatment should be continued for 1 to 2 days after the animal appears clinically recovered and is feeding normally. As a guide, the following dosage regimens of prepared Vytrate solution are recommended:-
Cats, miniature dogs (<5 kg): 125 mL 2-3 times daily
Small dogs (5 – 10 kg): 250 mL 2-3 times daily
Medium dogs (11 – 20 kg): 500 mL 2-3 times daily
Large dogs (>20 kg): 750 mL 2- 3 times daily
Calves:
Bought-in or Stressed Calves (not scouring):
Feed 2 litres of diluted solution, made up as above, as the first feed on arrival.
For the next scheduled feed, use 1 litre diluted solution at the same time as, but not mixed with, milk or milk replacer. Thereafter, feed normal diet.
Scouring Calves:
Feed 1 to 1.5 litres of diluted solution per 10 kg bodyweight daily, divided into two or more daily doses.
If scouring is established or severe, causing dehydration, the higher dose should be used initially and fed in three or four divided doses. 2 litres of diluted solution given morning and night will be adequate in many cases. Replace with fresh solution every 24 hours. To maintain adequate energy and nutrient intake, milk feeding should continue as normal during periods of scouring. Diluted solution should be given between these milk feeds.
• Fresh drinking water should be available at all times.
• Keep feeding utensils clean and avoid overfeeding.
• Normal feeding should be resumes after the course of treatment.
• Many scouring problems can be avoided by feeding adequate colostrum early in the calf’s life.
• Seek veterinary advice if blood is present or if scours persist beyond four days.
Pigs:
Suckling Piglets:
Make available solution made up as directed to the whole litter in a cube drinker or similar clean vessel as soon as scour symptoms show. A litter of 1 week old piglets will consume approximately 2-3 litres per day. The amount consumed will increase with the age of the piglets. Piglets may be dosed individually, by giving 20 to 30 mL diluted solution 3 or 4 times a day, taking care to avoid choking. Take care to ensure that piglets are not left without diluted solution, drinking water, or sow’s milk.
Check the supply of solution every 12 hours and replenish if necessary.
Weaned Pigs
Scouring weaned pigs should have fresh diluted solution available in a suitable clean vessel. Restrict solid feed intake for one or two days, but continue to supply fresh drinking water.
As a general guide, weaners will consume 1-2 litres/ weaner/ day.
Duration of treatment (all pigs):
Diluted solution should be made available for 4 days, but if the scour has not cleared completely, treatment may be continued for up to 8 days in total. If there is no sign of improvement, consult a veterinary surgeon.
Periods of stress:
For the 2 to 3 days following any period of stress (e.g. weaning, transport), Vytrate will help to increase fluid and electrolyte consumption and absorption, so minimising any possible setback. As diluted solution is extremely palatable and excessive drinking may occur, diluted solution at half the strength recommended above may be used, for this indication only. Replace with fresh solution every 24 hours.
Sheep:
Scouring Lambs:
Give 150 to 200 mL fresh diluted solution 2 to 4 times daily as required. The solution should be adjusted to body heat and given via a feeding bottle and teat. The lamb should also suck the ewe.
If bottle-fed, to maintain adequate energy and nutrient intake, milk feeding should continue as normal during period of scouring. Solution should be given between these milk feeds.
Note:
When specific disease control (i.e. antibiotic therapy) is indicated, it can be administered in conjunction with Vytrate. Stressed and scouring animals requiring rehydration are at risk of multiple organ dysfunction. It is strongly recommended that veterinary advice is sought when considering treating dehydrated animals.
Withholding Period(s):
Meat: Zero (0) days
Trade Advice (ESI):
Zero (0) days

Commonly Asked Questions
Q: How do I know if my horse needs supplements?
A: Observing your horse's behaviour, condition, and performance can provide initial clues. However, consulting with a veterinarian or an equine nutritionist is the best way to determine specific nutritional needs and the appropriate supplements.
Q: Can supplements replace a balanced diet?
A: No, supplements are designed to complement a well-balanced diet, not replace it. They should be used to ensure your horse receives all the necessary nutrients, especially those that might be lacking in their regular feed.

Q: When will I see results after starting my horse on a supplement?
