ZINC PLUS · ORGANICALLY BOUND

Zinc is generally classified among the trace elements that are essential for the metabolism and is part of many enzymes. It is also involved in cellular growth, especially in the event of skin problems. The immune system as well as many hormones require zinc to function. Each change of coat increases the zinc consumption in the body of the horse. Only limited amounts of zinc can be stored in the body. It must therefore be regularly supplied in the feed. Zinc Plus is fed to compensate for feed-related zinc and trace element deficiencies. With organically bound zinc, iron, copper, manganese, selenium. Trace elements in organically bound form can be optimally utilised by the body.

Feeding recommendation*: 25 – 50 g per day (900 g = up to 36 days)

SUMMER ECZEMA

SUMMER ECZEMA:

MORE SUCCESS WITH TRIPLE TREATMENT

The skin is the horse‘s largest organ. Our horses often suffer from skin irritations such as summer eczema. The horses are tormented by itchy skin and summer eczema should thus be treated as quickly and comprehensively as possible. This not only includes insect protection and skin care, but also a controlled diet for horses suffering from eczema.

COMPREHENSIVE PROTECTION.

This is a decisive factor when treating summer eczema, which is an allergic reaction to insect bites: confining horses to the stable when ploughing fields, providing blankets with insect protection and effective insect repellents. The RP1 active substance Icaridin reversibly binds with the insects‘ smell detectors, thus acting as a reliable deterrent, it is very skin-friendly. An effective insect repellent does not need to have a „stinky“ component, which is why RP1 products have an almost neutral smell. Correct application ensures their optimal effect: Insect repellents must be applied all over the body surface. A particularly effective method is the application of a spray and gel combination: The RP1 spray covers large body regions with a mist. RP1 gel is used for body parts that are either difficult to reach with the spray or that would require too much consumption: ears, the area around the eyes and especially the stomach. When applied with a sponge, the active substance will be applied in high concentrations exactly where it is needed most. The combination of RP1 spray and RP1 gel provides an optimal protection with minimal consumption.

GENTLE SKIN CARE.

Dry, cracked skin constitute a gap in the horse‘s defences. Stiefel Eczema Protect is a gentle care lotion that restores moisture to the skin. The lotion becomes more effective when massaged deep into the skin. Protective and revitalizing active substances such as cloves, juniper, berries and lavender can ensure rapid regeneration of the skin and promote wound healing and the formation of new tissue.
