EquiNectar is a carefully formulated supplement designed to support equine digestive health and overall wellbeing. The enzyme profile of EquiNectar is one of its key features. These enzymes play crucial roles in breaking down various components of your horse’s diet, potentially improving digestion and nutrient absorption.

Dr. Rosemary Waring is a renowned expert in equine health and a co-founder of EquiNectar, a leading company dedicated to improving horse nutrition and digestive health. With a background in veterinary science and extensive research in equine nutrition, Dr. Waring has made significant contributions to our understanding of endotoxins and their impact on horses.

Healthy digestion is critical for a horse’s wellbeing. This blog aims to introduce you to EquiNectar and shed light on the specific roles of its key enzymes – amylase, fructanase, cellulase, xylanase, phytase, protease, and lipase. By understanding the benefits of each enzyme, you can make informed decisions for your horse’s digestive health.

Natural digestive enzymes from malt extract help horses break down feed more efficiently.

Horses produce amylase in their salivary glands and pancreas. When a horse eats, the salivary glands release amylase into the mouth, where it begins to break down complex sugars in the food. This process helps to pre-digest the food before it reaches the stomach and intestines, where the rest of the digestive process takes place.

The role of cellulase in a horse is to break down complex sugars found in plant cell walls, such as cellulose, into simpler sugars that the horse can use for energy. This process aids in the digestion of forage and hay, which are major components of a horse’s diet. By breaking down cellulose, cellulase helps the horse to extract energy from these plant-based feeds and maintain their overall health and well-being.
