Disease Prevention that Supports Horse Well-being

Routine vaccination is an important aspect of equine healthcare, protecting horses from infectious diseases including tetanus, equine influenza, equine herpes, West Nile, strangles, and equine encephalomyelitis. From the breeding barn to the show ring and everything in between, we have a broad range of vaccines that help protect horses in every environment.

Therapeutics

Health Management for Comfortable Lives

Whether treating pain in horses or managing reproduction in mares, we offer therapeutic solutions that improve the health and well-being of horses.

Pain Management
We develop effective pain management solutions to alleviate pain and discomfort due to conditions like musculoskeletal disorders and colic.

Reproduction
During the estrus cycle, some mares can show unruly, aggressive, or dangerous behavior. Our leading reproductive health solutions can help to reduce undesirable behavioral changes while offering greater control and management of the reproductive cycle

Parasiticides

Parasite Control that Keeps Horses Healthy

While parasites are a normal part of a horse’s intestinal flora, some parasites can cause disease when horses don’t receive routine preventive treatments. An equine intestinal parasite management program should include veterinary care, diagnostics, treatment, monitoring and pasture management.

Our parasite solutions kill nematode eggs (ovicidal), and treat and control adult and immature roundworms, encysted mucosal 3rd and 4th stage small strongyle larvae and encysted inhibited 3rd stage small strongyle larvae.
