Allergies, Coughing and Irritation- Supplementing Your Horse for Better Respiratory
Health Horse respiratory supplements targeted to support lung health often contain a combination of ingredients including, omega-3 fatty acids, vitaminC, and MSM.
DHA, an Omega-3 fatty acid, has been shown to promote airway wellness and improve chronic lower airway inflammatory issues in some horses. It’s no surprise to see DHA in some horse respiratory supplements.
MethylSulfonylmethane, commonly known as MSM, can help soothe a horse’s airways with its anti-inflammatory properties. Along with promoting respiratory health MSM is known for improving joint mobility, assisting in the formation of proteins and amino acids, connective tissue, hair, hide, and hooves.
Vitamin C is an antioxidant and has been shown to help benefit and support a horse’s respiratory health.
Fresh non-polluted air, good quality dust free hay and low dust bedding also helps to support your horse’s airways and promote your horse’s overall respiratory health.
Throat irritations, bronchial congestion, and allergies are all typically helped with a horse respiratory supplement available in liquid, powder, paste, or pellet.
