Horse Vitamins, Minerals and Overall Health

Kohnke's Own Mag-E is an organic Magnesium, Vitamin E and Vitamin B1 supplement for horses.

Mag-E is the ideal supplement for working and travelling horses to provide a well absorbed form of magnesium, as well as essential Vitamin E and Vitamin B1, to help nerve and muscle function.

Mag E contains:

• High levels of organic magnesium - with the majority provided by “organic” amino acid (yeast) chelate that reaches the absorption sites as an “amino acid shielded” complex for optimum absorption.
• Natural and synthetic Vitamin E – corrects low dietary levels to ensure optimum muscle and nerve function.
• Vitamin B1 (thiamine) – to help make up shortfalls in the diet of working horses fed on grain based, low roughage diets.
• Debittered yeast as a natural food compound to help maintain normal gastro-intestinal function in working, travelling or competitive horses.

Mag-E is highly palatable, with vanilla flavouring, to tempt even the fussiest of eaters!

Mag-E with organic magnesium supplements low dietary uptake to help keep your horse unfazed by training, traveling and competition. 

PACK WEIGHT:   425g; 1kg (66 x 15g doses);   2.5kg (166 x 15g doses) ; 6.5kg 

Handy Hint: Mag-E is recommended as a double amount each day for 3 days to correct dietary shortfalls of magnesium and vitamin E to help maintain proper nerve and muscle function. A maintenance supplement can then be given, with double amounts again for 2-3 days prior to travelling or competition.

Kohnke's Own Donkey Supreme is a scientifically blended supplement which provides all major minerals, trace-minerals and vitamins to correct low or inadequate levels in the diets of breeding, growing, working and aged donkeys.

Many donkeys are used to keep the grass mown in small areas and house paddocks and often graze weeds and rough plants which horses and other animals leave. They are gentle, lovable companion animals which don't need high energy prepared feeds or grain based diets. Often their rations are low or inadequate in bone minerals, trace-minerals and vitamins necessary to meet their needs for growth, pregnancy and general good health and longevity. Aged donkeys often suffer bone and arthritic problems.

Donkey Supreme has been formulated to make-up the short falls in the diets of donkeys when grazing on grass pastures, browsing on plants and being fed poor quality diets based on hay and straw to avoid laminitis and to maintain them. Donkey Supreme is the world's first supplement for donkeys of all ages and activity.

Features:

• Based on a blend of 3 cold-pressed Supplet pellets to NRC (2007) guidelines for donkeys.
• The innovative Supplet blend eliminates sift-out, dust, sludging and nutrient interaction in feeds - in fact, many donkeys at grass can be offered the supplement off the hand or mixed in a small amount of chaff or finely chopped carrots or apples as a treat.
• Provides bone minerals for growing and aged donkeys of all sizes.
• Simply calculate the dose rate relative to your donkey's body weight.
• Regular supplementation with Donkey Supreme will help to maintain health and vitality, optimum coat condition and assist the immune response.

Donkey Supreme - it's not just a horse supplement, it is a supreme supplement especially formulated for donkeys to meet their specific nutrient needs and dietary balance.

SIZES: 1.4kg; 4kg;  10kg

Handy Hint: Give your donkey(s) a regular treat of Donkey Supreme off the hand – even twice weekly is adequate for middle-aged donkeys! Growing, pregnant or aged donkeys may require daily supplement to meet their specific nutrient needs.

• No sift-out - a problem with powders
• No dust - a problem with powders.
• No nutrient interactions with trace-minerals.
• Can be added to wet or dry feeds.
• E-Se Supplets are convenient - can be offered off the hand to horses and ponies grazing in selenium deficient areas without the need for a hard feed.
• E-Se Supplets - easy and economical

Vetsense Biotin Hoof Powder+ is a hoof growth supplement for horses. The advanced formula targets hoof repair and development, with the added benefit of improving your horse’s hair & skin integrity.

Additional benefits may include:

• Improving coat shine
• Increased skin condition
• Promote growth of mane, tail, and coat
• Improve overall hoof 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.

Kohnke's Own CAL-Xtra is a concentrated calcium and bone mineral supplement formulated to support horses grazing on high oxalate pastures, as well as growing horses and horses in training. It provides calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium in an optimum ratio to help maintain healthy bone development and mineral balance.

Kohnke’s Own Energy Gold is a highly palatable, premium oil supplement with added Vitamin E.

Energy Gold is a premium ‘super cool’ oil and fatty acid supplement, designed to deliver daily energy for performance, stamina and coat shine.
Blended from cold-pressed, virgin Australian sourced oils, Energy Gold is a slow release, non-fizzy source of omega fatty acids, offering natural anti-inflammatory benefits and improved muscular function, as well as enhancing coat and skin health for a glossy shine.

Energy Gold is garlic flavoured to please reluctant eaters and contains no preservatives or sugar, making it suitable for grain or sugar-sensitive horses and ponies as an energy source or coat conditioner.

Dr John Kohnke’s special Energy Gold formulation provides a ratio of omega-3 to omega-6 fatty acids that make it superior to other oils, such as linseed or flaxseed, which are only palatable in small amounts.
A specific balance of omega fatty acids can offer benefits for overall health including anti-inflammatory properties, and improvement in gastric, muscle and immune function. Energy Gold is also uniquely boosted with an optimal, fat-soluble source of vitamin E as an antioxidant for muscle and cellular function in exercising horses.

Energy Gold is specially designed to have flexible dosage rates with small amounts to encourage a show-winning shine and larger supplementation rates for cool energy.

Which Horses Benefit?
• For all horses as a fat source in the feed for daily energy - ‘cool’, slow release energy
• Provides energy without sugar or starch for horses which are sensitive to sugar or prone to laminitis
• As a coat conditioner supplement for equestrian and show horses.
• An omega fatty acid source for common or basic rations for working horses
• As a slow release energy source for horses needing fat-based energy for performance, strength and stamina over long periods of training, racing and competition.
• Especially for balanced energy profiles for equestrian and racing horses on high grain diets which are prone to tying up, excessive ‘fizz’ or lack of staying power from shortfalls in daily energy intake.
• To increase palatability of feeds and supplements provided to fussy eaters. Garlic flavouring is particularly beneficial to mask medications or unpalatable feeds and supplements.
• Mixer for pastes to ensure slow uptake for optimum absorption (ie Mag-E calming paste, Gastro-Coat paste).

Supplementation Guidelines:
Commence Energy Gold supplementation in a step-wise manner over 14 days, increasing the amount fed by 30 mL every three days. It may take up to 6-8 weeks for a horse’s digestive system and metabolic processes to adapt to a higher level of fat in the feed as an energy source during exercise.

AS A COAT CONDITIONER / MAINTENANCE SUPPLEMENT
For all horses, including grazing or resting horses and ponies to improve coat shine and condition. 
Add 12mL for each 100kg body weight daily to the feed. ie 60mL for a 500kg horse.

OMEGA FATTY ACID SOURCE FOR COMMON OR BASIC RATIONS
For general working horses to provide cool energy and improve coat condition plus the natural benefits of balanced Omega-3 to Omega-6 fatty acid ratio. 
Add 15 – 20mL for each 100kg body weight daily to the feed.  ie 75 – 100mL for a 500kg horse.

Jenquine Bone Formula Forte is a fortified calcium supplement for horses on hard feed.

Bighead and osteoporosis are a constant risk from high phosphorus, oxalates and phytates in feeds such as cereal and grassy hays, grains, bran and sub-tropical grass (including buffel, panic, kikuyu and setaria) found throughout Australia. Signs include shifting intermittent lameness, reluctance to move forward freely, joint pain, 'creaky' joints, stiffness, dental problems and an increased risk of fractures, tendon and ligament injuries.

Maintaining mineral intake throughout a horse's life helps protect against dietary imbalances and musculoskeletal weakness. Only chelated calcium is protected from oxalates and phytates in the feed.

The importance of calcium:

Calcium is essential for life itself (regulating heartbeat, nerve function, muscle contraction and blood clotting) and blood levels are tightly regulated by parathyroid hormone (PTH). PTH is released when diets are low in calcium — causing calcium to move out of the bones and into the blood, and leading to demineralisation of bones and osteoporosis. Mild cases are difficult to detect, manifesting as vague shifting lameness, shortened stride, soreness at ligament and tendon insertions, joint pain and swelling. In more severe forms, ligament and tendon injuries increase and there may be a watery nasal discharge, poor coat, difficulty chewing, dental pain and swelling of the jaws, maxilla, mandible and nasal bones.

Management and prevention:

The dietary calcium deficiency must be corrected. Chelation protects calcium from oxalate attack, is over 95% absorbed into the blood stream and, in the presence of oxalates, is more bioavailable than inorganic forms (lime and dicalcium phosphate). Dr Jennifer Stewart's Bone Formula Forte contains chelated calcium PLUS essential bone trace minerals that are deficient in Australian soils, pastures, hays and grains.

Equine Vit&Min Omega-3 Plus

Farmalogic Equine Vit&Min Omega-3 Plus is a comprehensive vitamin, mineral and omega-3 supplement designed to help balance modern equine diets, particularly for horses with limited access to fresh pasture.

Combining essential vitamins, trace minerals, probiotics and a concentrated source of omega-3 fatty acids, Omega-3 Plus provides nutritional support for coat condition, hoof quality, joint health, immune function and overall wellbeing.

Ideal for performance horses, breeding stock, growing horses and horses fed predominantly on hay, Omega-3 Plus helps fill common nutritional gaps while supporting a balanced omega-3 to omega-6 ratio.

Key Benefits

• Provides essential vitamins and minerals commonly lacking in forage-based diets.
• Contains omega-3 fatty acids to help balance diets high in omega-6.
• Supports healthy skin, coat and hoof condition.
• Helps maintain normal joint function and mobility.
• Includes probiotics to support digestive health.
• Contains natural vitamin E for antioxidant support.
• Suitable for horses with limited access to fresh pasture.
• Palatable and easy to mix into daily feeds.

Why Omega-3 Matters

Fresh pasture naturally contains high levels of omega-3 fatty acids. However, these beneficial nutrients decline rapidly once grass is cut and dried into hay. Horses consuming large amounts of hay or hard feed can therefore receive significantly more omega-6 fatty acids than omega-3.

Omega-3 Plus provides a concentrated source of omega-3 fatty acids, including EPA and DHA, helping to restore a more balanced dietary fatty acid profile while supplying essential vitamins, minerals and probiotics.

Suitable For

• Performance horses
• Sport and racing horses
• Breeding mares and stallions
• Growing horses and young stock
• Show horses
• Hay-fed horses
• Horses with limited access to quality pasture

Feeding Guide

Mix the recommended daily amount into slightly dampened feed. The daily serving may be divided between two feeds if preferred. Scoop included.

Available Sizes

• 4kg Bag
• 15kg Box

Note: If feeding a fortified pellet or muesli feed, the recommended feeding rate may need adjustment. Always provide access to fresh clean water and an appropriate source of salt.

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.
