What's the solution?

Mycotoxins enter the horse via feed, forage or bedding. In fact mycotoxins are odourless and horses cannot taste them in feed, making ingestion more likely and ingestion of contaminated feed or forage and inhalation from mould-infested bedding and forage are all-important causes of exposure. The key in helping to prevent exposure is always to put quality first - use only the best quality feed, forage and bedding products. However, even good quality forage may have a degree of contamination; we cannot actually see whether mycotoxins are present, there is no way to test for their presence and until now there had been no way to tackle the problem of mycotoxins in hay or haylage for horses.

Developed in partnership with Alltech, Mycosorb Equine Formula is a revolutionary new product designed to help protect horses from the inside out from the very real threat posed by Mycotoxins present in forage. This natural forage additive specifically targets ingested mycotoxins, removing them from the gut before they enter the bloodstream.

Distributed exclusively by Happy Horse Products, Mycosorb Equine Formula is easily applied to dry hay or haylage prior to steaming in a Happy Horse Hay Steamer. Mycosorb Equine Formula is then effectively and evenly distributed throughout the hay by the steaming action, which ensures even and thorough distribution throughout the volume of hay to be fed to the horse.

Mycosorb Equine Formula offers many advantages over clay binders, which require high inclusion rates and can also remove key nutrients in the diet and published trial data from the University of Guelph in Ontario, showed that Mycosorb helped horses overcome the effects of mycotoxins in the diet.
