Is turmeric good for horses?

Yes, turmeric provides several positive benefits for horses. Curcumin, as one of over 200 compounds within Turmeric, is the main active ingredient in Turmeric. It is a strong antioxidant, and has a metabolic effect in the natural inflammation cycle of the body’s defence mechanisms. 

Why are the compounds in Turmeric important?

Turmeric contains components that can have roles in various metabolic systems. As well as containing antioxidants, Turmeric supports processes involved in the inflammation cycle. Inflammation is a natural response to stress factors which normally decreases after time, and is part of the body’s natural defence and structural mechanisms.

How can you confirm the % of Curcumin in your pellets?

As manufacturers of quality feeds, we are members of the Universal Feed Assurance Scheme (UFAS). As such we can only source guaranteed products and blend them to declared nutrient levels. We analyse according to written procedures that are independently audited, so we can confirm the levels in every batch.

Does TurmerAid™ help with biting insects?

Mosquito bites can result in an allergenic response, involving local defence mechanisms. As with many stress situations this involves the natural inflammation process, macrophage activity and system integrity. Components in TurmerAid help support such mechanisms. However, we recommend also feeding TurmerItch alongside TurmerAid to specifically target issues such as biting insects and other skin complaints.
