Kentucky Performance Products: EHV-1 Fact Sheet
Ontario Animal Health Network provides a great fact sheet to help horse owners be on the lookout for equine herpesvirus-1.
Equine herpesvirus-1 (EHV-1) has been associated with outbreaks of neurologic disease called equine herpes myeloencephalopathy (EHM) in four US states over the last few months. Soon, horses will be making the trek back to Ontario from competition, training and racing grounds south of the border. Now is a good time to be prepared with an understanding of the disease and to ensure appropriate biosecurity measures are in place.

About Kentucky Performance Products: The feeling you get when you hug your horse.
It’s why we do what we do.
Fight back against an energy crisis that can impact condition and performance
Equi-Jewel® is a high-fat, low-starch and -sugar formula developed to safely meet the energy needs of your horse. Whether you have a hard keeper that needs extra calories to maintain his weight, or a top performance horse that needs cool energy to perform at her peak, Equi-Jewel can meet your horse’s needs. Equi-Jewel reduces the risk of digestive upset, supports optimal muscle function, maintains stamina, and helps horses recover faster after hard work, all the while providing the calories your horse needs to thrive.
The fat found in rice bran is an extraordinary source of dietary energy. In fact, fat contains more than two times the energy that carbohydrates and proteins do, thereby fueling horses more efficiently. Fat is considered a “cool” feedstuff because it does not cause the hormone spikes that lead to excitability. Adding stabilized rice bran to your horse’s diet allows you to decrease the amount of starchy concentrates (grains) you feed, reducing the risk of colic and laminitis resulting from grain overload. Equi-Jewel is an excellent source of calories for horses on low sugar and starch diets. The horse that matters to you matters to us®.
