We conducted this study at Redwings Horse Sanctuary. The study was designed to look at the effect on the equine microbiome of pasturing horses on new grass and to determine whether supplementation with EquiNectar would alter the result.
A study exploring the use of exogenous enzymes and their effects on digestion, blood chemistry, fecal coliform count and in vitro fecal fermentation. Results demonstrate that xylanase, cellulase or a mix of xylanase and cellulase, have an impact on digestion and the hindgut microbiome.

We conducted this study with Dr Chris Proudman of the University of Surrey Veterinary School, to investigate the effect of EquiNectar on the metabolome and microbiome of racehorses. We discovered that EquiNectar had significant impacts.
This study introduces the first application of Selected Ion Flow Tube Mass Spectrometry (SIFT-MS) to analyse volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in faecal headspace from horses with and without colic. The research compared horses suffering from acute intestinal disease affecting the large colon with a control group admitted for non-gastrointestinal conditions at an equine hospital.
Our co-founder, Professor John Hunter, wrote this paper for the Equine Veterinary Journal to discuss Irritable Bowel Syndrome in horses. Following this paper, EquiNectar was developed.
