The EquiNectar Promise
When you care about horses, you care about nature. And when you make products for horses, you have a duty to protect the environment they live in.
That’s why every drop of EquiNectar is made with purpose, precision, and planet in mind.
Made with the World’s Most Sustainable Malt Extract Producer
EquiNectar is manufactured in the UK by Muntons, globally recognised as a leader in environmental responsibility. They don’t just talk about carbon reduction — they deliver it.
What makes Muntons exceptional:

Climate-Smart from the Ground Up
EquiNectar is made from an enzyme-rich malt extract derived from British-grown barley — sourced through local, sustainable farming networks.
Our supply chain supports:
• Reduced fertiliser input and energy use
• Better soil health through low-disturbance farming
• Crop resilience and traceability
• Lower transport emissions from field to factory
Better for Your Horse. Better for the Planet
EquiNectar isn’t just a digestive supplement — it’s a smarter way to feed. And smarter feeding is more sustainable.
The Problem:
When a horse doesn’t fully digest its feed, three things happen:
• Nutrients are lost — especially starch and protein
• The hindgut suffers — with microbial imbalance, gas, and acidosis
• More feed is needed — increasing cost, waste, and carbon footprint
The EquiNectar Advantage:
EquiNectar delivers a broad-spectrum of natural digestive enzymes — including amylase, cellulase, protease and more — that help break down feed more efficiently in the small intestine.
This leads to:
• Less undigested starch and protein reaching the hindgut
• A more stable and healthier microbiome
• Better manure quality (less nitrogen loss, less smell)
• Improved feed efficiency — same condition, fewer inputs
• More feed is needed — increasing cost, waste, and carbon footprint
The Sustainability Impact:
• Less feed = less crop demand
• Less nutrient runoff = healthier pastures and waterways
• Fewer deliveries = fewer transport emissions
• Lower inputs = lower environmental cost per horse
Efficient digestion is sustainable digestion. And with EquiNectar, you support both gut health and climate health — in one move.
Packaging and Distribution
We take environmental responsibility seriously at every stage:
• Recyclable packaging
• Exploring refill options and lower-impact formats
• Regional warehousing and palletised deliveries to reduce mileage
• No air freight — always shipping smart
