The daily digestive foundation
Support digestion earlier. Change what happens downstream.
EquiNectar is an enzyme-rich malt extract fed alongside the horse's normal diet. Its naturally occurring digestive enzymes support digestion earlier in the digestive process, helping change the nutritional environment experienced by the horse's existing hindgut microbiome.
Change what arrives.
Better upstream digestion changes the amount and balance of rapidly fermentable carbohydrate available further down the digestive tract.
Support what's already there.
Rather than adding bacteria, EquiNectar helps change the nutritional environment that the horse's existing microbial community has to work with.

How to use EquiNectar
Simple to add. Easy to make routine.
Add EquiNectar to your horse's normal feed. Twice-daily feeding is our standard approach, with the appropriate total daily feed rate divided between the two feeds.
EquiNectar fits into the feed routine you already have.
No separate preparation is required. Measure the appropriate
amount, add it directly to the feed and use it consistently
as part of the horse's daily routine.
Daily feed supplement
Find the right feed rate.
Use the interactive EquiNectar feeding guide further down this page to select your horse's weight, activity level and feeding frequency.
Add it directly to normal feed.
EquiNectar can simply be added to the horse's usual feed. No soaking, separate preparation or special mixing process is required.
Use it every day.
Twice daily is the standard approach. If feeding once daily, use 70% of the normal total daily feed rate in the single feed.

Introducing EquiNectar
Start gradually. Build into the routine.
EquiNectar has a distinctive malt taste and texture. When feeding it for the first time, we recommend a gradual introduction over approximately nine days before moving to your horse's ongoing feed rate.
Increase the amount every three days.

Your horse's ongoing feed rate is the destination.
From day 10 onwards, use the amount appropriate for your
horse's weight, activity and feeding frequency. If your
horse's ongoing feed rate is lower than one of the
introduction steps, stop increasing when the appropriate
ongoing rate is reached.

How EquiNectar works
Support digestion earlier. Change what happens downstream.
EquiNectar takes a different approach to supporting the digestive system. Rather than trying to add new bacteria, it uses enzyme activity to support digestion earlier in the digestive process and influence the nutritional environment experienced further downstream.
The mechanism
It starts with the feed, before the hindgut.
The horse's digestive tract is one connected system. What is digested earlier influences what remains available later. EquiNectar is designed to act at this upstream stage.
Feed enters the digestive tract.
EquiNectar is added directly to the horse's normal feed and becomes part of the same digestive process.
Digestion is supported earlier.
Enzyme Rich Malt Extract provides a broad spectrum of enzyme activity, including amylase and fructanase, which act on components of feed such as starch and fructans.
What continues downstream changes.
Supporting digestion earlier can change the amount and balance of nutritional substrate that remains available further along the digestive tract.
The existing microbiome sees a different diet.
The microbes already living in the hindgut therefore encounter a different nutritional environment in which to function.
Normal feed
→
Enzyme activity
→
Different substrate
→
Different nutritional environment
The important difference
EquiNectar doesn't add bacteria. It changes what the existing bacteria are fed.
The hindgut microbiome is already a large and complex microbial ecosystem. EquiNectar's approach is to influence the nutritional inputs reaching that ecosystem by supporting digestion earlier.
Not the approach
Adding microbial organisms
EquiNectar is not built around supplying additional bacteria to the digestive tract.
The EquiNectar approach
Changing nutritional substrate
Support digestion upstream and influence the nutritional environment encountered by the existing microbial community.
Why upstream digestion matters
The digestive tract works as one connected system.
The nutritional environment in the hindgut is partly determined by what escapes digestion earlier. That makes upstream digestion an important part of the wider digestive picture.
Support digestion before the hindgut.
Enzyme activity acts on components of feed during the earlier stages of digestion, before that material reaches the large intestine.
Change what remains available.
When more of a feed component is acted on earlier, the substrate profile continuing downstream can change.
Support the environment around existing microbes.
Rather than viewing the microbiome in isolation, EquiNectar focuses on the nutritional environment in which that microbial community operates.
In simple terms
EquiNectar supports digestion earlier in the digestive
process. That changes what continues downstream, helping
create a different nutritional environment for the horse's
existing hindgut microbiome.

The evidence
Not one observation. Evidence across different settings.
EquiNectar has been investigated in horses across research, performance and veterinary settings. Different study designs ask different questions, so the results are best understood together rather than treating any single number as the whole story.
A growing evidence base
Measurable changes, seen in different groups of horses.
The research programme has included controlled comparisons, metabolic profiling, racehorse monitoring and veterinary field observations. Each study below can be expanded for more detail, with a direct link into our Science section.

Retrospective veterinary field study rather than
a placebo-controlled trial.
Observation
A positive change was recorded in 82% of horses
during the study period.
This was an observational, retrospective study. The study design and context should therefore be considered when interpreting the result.
Why use different study designs?
Different studies answer different questions.
Controlled research can help isolate an effect. Performance settings show what happens in working horses. Veterinary field observations add another view from real-world equine management.
Controlled comparison
Randomisation and comparison groups help researchers examine whether measurable changes differ between supplemented and non-supplemented horses.
Working horses
Racehorses provide an opportunity to monitor measurable digestive markers while horses remain within demanding training and feeding programmes.
Real-world observations
Veterinary field studies add evidence from horses managed outside tightly controlled experimental conditions.
Evidence should be read in context.
No single study design answers every question. Some
EquiNectar studies are controlled, while others are
observational or retrospective. That is why we show
both the result and the study design — and provide
direct access to the underlying research.

Quality & safety
Built for daily use. Backed by serious standards.
Quality is about more than the formulation itself. EquiNectar combines Tharos quality standards with established manufacturing controls and a production process designed for consistent daily use.
From manufacture to feed room
Quality controls through the whole process.
EquiNectar is UFAS certified and BETA NOPS approved through Tharos, while the manufacturing facility operates to ISO 9001 and FEMAS standards. EquiNectar is made in Britain.

Behind the badges
Four standards. Two different levels of control.
Some standards apply directly through Tharos, while others relate to the manufacturing facility producing EquiNectar. Keeping that distinction clear matters.
BETA NOPS
EquiNectar is produced within the BETA NOPS scheme, designed to help manage the risk of naturally occurring prohibited substances entering equine feed and supplements.
UFAS
Tharos operates within the Universal Feed Assurance Scheme, providing an established quality-assurance framework for the feed supply chain.
ISO 9001
The facility manufacturing EquiNectar operates to ISO 9001 quality-management standards, supporting controlled and repeatable manufacturing processes.
FEMAS
The manufacturing facility also operates to FEMAS standards, supporting assurance around feed materials and their manufacture.
BETA NOPS + UFAS
These are the standards directly associated with Tharos and EquiNectar's feed-quality programme.
ISO 9001 + FEMAS
These standards apply to the facility in which EquiNectar is manufactured, providing another layer of manufacturing and quality assurance.
For competition horses
Why BETA NOPS matters.
The BETA NOPS scheme focuses on managing the risk of contamination by naturally occurring prohibited substances. This is particularly relevant for owners, trainers and riders competing under rules where prohibited substances are closely controlled.
