EquiNectar – Digestive Support for Horses in Training
Paper discussing the value of EquiNectar to a starch fed horse in training by independent equine nutritionist, Catherine Rudenko. Discusses the impact of starch feeding, optimal starch levels in feed and the method of action of EquiNectar. The use of active enzymes in a horse’s diet have been shown to have an impact on caecal

The Effect of Feeding Horses a High Fiber Diet With or Without Exogenous Fibrolytic Enzymes Supplementation on Nutrient Digestion, Blood Chemistry, Fecal Coliform Count, and In Vitro Fecal Fermentation
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.

Equine Veterinary Journal – Characterisation of the faecal metabolome and microbiome of Thoroughbred racehorses
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.
The use of SIFT-MS in profiling the faecal volatile metabolome in horses with colic: a pilot study
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.
Equine Veterinary Journal – Do horses get irritable bowel syndrome?
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.
