Several types of mycotoxins exist which may interact, especially under favourable environmental conditions, such as in warm and humid climates (as well as in improperly stored feeds). Mycotoxins may contaminate feeds or grains and are hard to detect due to their odourless, tasteless and invisible presence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe horse’s digestive system is sensitive to the effects of mycotoxins, as the gastric juices in the stomach cannot effectively deactivate the mycotoxins and these therefore enter the sensitive small intestine and hindgut. Once mycotoxins reach the hindgut they may affect the intestinal wall or enter the horse’s blood stream, which can result in respiratory, gastrointestinal, neurological and reproductive issues.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is why a toxin binder for horses is crucial to their diet.\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"faq-item__question\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEven though symptoms are usually non-specific, associated clinical signs with the existence of mycotoxins in horse’s diet include:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePoor condition (weight loss)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReduced performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLethargy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDepression\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuppressed appetite\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLameness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRespiratory diseases\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGastrointestinal diseases (e.g. colic)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReproductive failures\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeurological disorders (e.g. neurotoxicity, Fatal leucoencephalomalacia, ataxia)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImmunosuppression\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAtypical myopathy (muscle disease)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"simple-accordion__title faq-item__title active\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"faq-item__question\"\u003eFeeding Rates\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item__content active\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item__answer rte\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHYGAIN SAFEGUARD EQ can be added directly to your horse’s feed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHYGAIN SAFEGUARD EQ should be fed at a rate of 30g per day (one level scoop) based on a 500kg horse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hygain","offers":[{"title":"1.2kg","offer_id":51359026741561,"sku":"9342182001712","price":52.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"3.9Kg","offer_id":51733227536697,"sku":"9342182000005","price":139.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"420g","offer_id":51359026774329,"sku":"9342182001705","price":21.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0602\/3223\/7251\/files\/Safeguard1.2kgPouch3D.webp?v=1763423942","url":"https:\/\/brookiesruraltraders.com.au\/products\/hygain-safeguard-eq-1","provider":"Brookies Rural Traders","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
