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.

We take environmental responsibility seriously at every stage:
• Recyclable packaging
