Horse Gold Releases Super-Charged Equine Ulcer Prevention Supplement, Gastromax3? Paste

Horse Gold Releases Super-Charged Equine Ulcer Prevention Supplement, Gastromax3™ Paste

Bradenton, FL (PRWEB) July 26, 2011

Horse Gold, makers of hyper-effective equine supplements created by horsemen for horsemen, officially released Gastromax3™ paste, an affordable, once-a-day preventive anti-ulcer supplement for horses. Gastromax3™ paste is formulated to prevent debilitating ulcers using omeprazole, a protein pump inhibitor that blocks the production of acid, plus supplemental ingredients that magnify its preventive effects.

Between 70 percent and 94 percent of thoroughbred horses have gastric ulcerations, sometimes with side effects such as diarrhea, abdominal pain, salivation, bruxism, poor coat quality, poor performance and decreased consumption of concentrates. Ulcers are a problem to a similar extent in sport horses. Gastromax3 paste provides an unprecedented prevention option for equine gastric ulcers to help horse owners deal with this ever-present challenge.

“Horse owners constantly battle ulcers in their animals, and we wanted to create a product that would stop ulcers before they cause pain and disrupt a horse’s performance,” said Dr. Scott Mangini of Horse Gold. “The feedback has been phenomenal. We are looking forward to working with trainers and horse owners everywhere to take on the challenge of equine ulcers.”

Along with omeprazole, Gastromax3 contains the following two active ingredients:

Sodium acid carbonate: This gastric antacid neutralizes stomach acid to create a more favorable environment for the omeprazole, so more of the supplement can be absorbed into the small intestine to prevent equine ulcers.

L-glutamine: This ingredient stimulates the synthesis of certain mucoproteins. By increasing mucin, l-glutamine helps heal gastric ulceration, decrease inflammation, and increase early immune response, which helps minimize further damage.

Affordable, Convenient Equine Supplement

According to Dr. Mangini, Gastromax3 is the only product on the market that combines other ingredients to supercharge the preventive action of omeprazole. However, Gastromax3 costs as little as half the price of similar products. Because omeprazole reduces stomach secretions for a prolonged period, it’s necessary to administer only one dose a day–much more convenient for owners and less annoying for horses. The gastric supplement is administered by oral dose syringe.

“The higher performance and lower price of Gastromax3 paste are a result of our dedication to fellow horsemen and horsewoman. We refused to stop working until we created an outstanding product,” said Dr. Mangini.”It’s a win-win for everybody, including the horse. Preventing equine gastric ulcers is one of the best things you can do to improve the health and performance of your racehorse or pet.”

ABOUT HORSE GOLD INC.

In 2010, Horse Gold was launched by a group of expert horsemen, including a professional equine pharmacologist, to provide more affordable, more effective supplements for standardbred and thoroughbred trainers and horse owners. Horse Gold’s priorities are the horse’s health and the customer’s satisfaction. Horse Gold products are available through local tack shops and distributors, including Big Dee’s Tack & Vet Supplies, Pacesetter Tack and Supply, Horsemen’s Tack Shoppe, Perry’s Tack Shop, Hot to Trot Tack, Winners Circle Horse Supply, A Bit Above Tack, and Delaware Park Tack.

The Top 10 Essential Uses For Eucalyptus Oil

Eucalyptus is more than just that crafty stem of leaves used in wall decor and other home made crafts. Although these decorations add a fresh scent and attractive accent to your home, eucalyptus is also available as an essential oil that may benefit you in other ways. Eucalyptus oil has a clear, thin appearance that provides a fresh, cooling, and soothing application with a soft earthy aroma. Eucalyptus oil is most commonly used to treat skin irritations such as insect bites, blisters, irritations and other wounds. The use of Eucalyptus oil is also widely used to treat congestion and respiratory distress as well as other medical disorders. Sinus pressure can be relived naturally by simply massaging a small drop of Eucalyptus oil onto your temples and on your ‘third eye’ or where your nose meets your forehead, being careful to avoid contact with the eyes. Eucalyptus oil will also provide relief to sore muscles when added to massage oil. Isn’t it amazing what one little plant can do?

Essential oils are very complex and are often referred to as the “Life Force” of the plants from which they are derived. These essential oils are stored in the plants cells, ducts and glandular hairs that extend along the flowers, through the leaves, stems, bark and down into the roots. These plants are often considered a gift from Mother Nature to provide us with a unique medicinal healing, along with a protective, regenerating and intoxicating essential oil that is exceedingly beneficial to all human kind. A single essential oil is so highly concentrated and very powerful. These concentrated essential oils can contain hundreds of molecularly designed components that are adjusted just right to induce an assortment of reactions in the human body. Even one or two drops of an essential oil can produce significant results, which is why it’s very important to use these essential oils only as directed.

You should always consult with your physician or aroma therapist prior to using ANY essential oils, especially if you are pregnant or have any existing medical conditions. The top ten uses for Eucalyptus essential oils are as follows:

Eucalyptus oil can be used as an antiseptic gargle.

As a stimulant, Eucalyptus oil can increase cardiac activity.

Eucalyptus oil can be applied externally to treat croup and other spasmodic throat problems.

When used as an ingredient with catheter oil, Eucalyptus oil can be used to lubricate and sterilize urethral catheters.

Equine veterinarians use Eucalyptus oil to treat influenza in horses.

Veterinarians also find Eucalyptus oil helpful in treating dogs with distemper, along with other animals suffering with septicemia, or blood poisoning. It can also be helpful in aiding with parasite infestations.

Eucalyptus oil is used widely by the natives in the country of origin as a remedy for fevers, asthma, whooping cough and other maladies.

Works as a diuretic to treat Dropsy.

Works as a deodorizer and excitant when applied locally for foul-smelling mucous discharges, e.g. vaginal, gonorrheal, septicemia, gangrene and cancerous ulcerations.

When applied externally, Eucalyptus oil can provide relief in a variety of other respiratory distresses.

If used internally in large doses, Eucalyptus oil can turn into an irritant to the kidneys and suppress the nervous system by eventually arresting the respiratory system on the medullar center. Eucalyptus oils, along with other essential oils must be used as directed to avoid possible overdoses that can be very harmful. Eucalyptus overdose symptoms include: drowsiness, convulsions, muscle weakness, shallow or rapid breathing, difficulty in swallowing, abdominal pain, diarrhea, vomiting and dizziness. If an overdose is suspected, call your local Poison Control Center immediately for guidance. You must be able to provide the Poison Control Counselors of the patients age, weight and condition, along with the name of the product and when possible the ingredients and the strengths of the ingredients. You may also be asked what time dose was taken and in what amount for the Poison Control Counselor to better assist you. If you are instructed to go to the Emergency room, be sure to bring the bottle along with you. You can call Poison Control at anytime from anywhere in the United States at 1-800-222-1222.

Veterinary Officer

Central Veterinary Laboratory

ABSTRACT

The prevalence, etiology, chemotherapy and control of Deg Nala disease were studied. The disease occurs in winter months when fungal infested rice straw is fed to cattle and buffaloes. Buffaloes are more frequently affected than cattle and younger animals appear to be more susceptible. The possibility of mycotoxin in causation of the disease is discussed. The most frequently found fungi species recorded from rice straw were: Aspergillus, Aspergillus flavus and Penicillium notatum. Therapeutic trials with various drugs were carried out, but 2% of Antidegnala liquor orally, or5% of Antidegnala liquor S/C or I/M giving the highest cure rate.

Key words: Deg Nala disease, etiology, prevalence, chemotherapy, buffalo, Antidegnala liquor, Banke, Nepal

Introduction

Raising buffaloes and cattle in Pakistan, Nepal and India is one way of augmenting the financial resources of village people.These animals are mainly raised on rice and wheat straw which are of poor nutritional quality .Rice and wheat plant when infested by fungus Fusarium causes severe health problem many researcher in this regard has documented. Infections that may be debilitating in nature can cause significant economic losses as a result ofDecreased production confounded by reduced growth rate, mortality and poor animal performance. An effort to improve animal production in the village calls for suitable control or therapeutic measures of any disease. Experimental evaluation of the immunologic properties and treatment of F. graminearum infections should be considered. The genus Fusarium contains important producing species that have been implicated in several animal.diseases including Degnala disease hemorrhagic,estrogenic, emetic feed refusal syndromes ,fescue foot moldy sweet potato toxicosis,been hulls poisoning,and Equine leukoencephalomalacia.Many of these mycotoxin producing species have been also implicated in several human disease such as alimentary toxic aleukia,urov or Kashin-Beck disease,Akakabi-byo or scabby grain intoxication and esophageal cancer.(www.mold-help.org) Deg Nala disease, which causes necrosis and gangrene of the dependent parts in cattle and buffaloes (Bubalus bubalis L.) is known to exist in Indo-Pakistan, as a number of cases were recorded stemming from a monsoon rainwater stream in the area of Murdike (Sheikhpura District), near Nala Deg in Pakistan (SHIRLAW, 1939). A widespread occurrence of the disease has been reported from rice growing areas of Indo-Pakistan (IRFAN, 1971; KALRA et al., 1972; IRFAN and MAQBOOL, 1986) which caused considerable economic losses. Karki reported same disease from area of banke district since year 1990.

Materials and methods

Prevalence. The outbreaks of Deg Nala disease occurring during 1998 through 1999 were recorded in 5 villages of Bankatwa,Mahadev puri,Bethani,KhajuraKhurda Manokapur Village development commiti of Banke district of Midwestern Nepal . The observation period was from November to February.

Isolation of fungi. Samples of infested rice straw, containing multiple dark specks, were collected from areas where natural outbreaks of Deg Nala disase had been recorded. Isolation of fungi on potato dextrose agar, yeast soluble starch agar.

Therapeutic trials. A total of 80 randomly selected naturally clinically affected animals were further divided in to 4 groups of 20 animals each. The following therapeutic regimens were tried.

Treatment A. 5% Antidegnala liquor 5-10 ml S/C or I/M 4 times in a week on alternate day.

Treatment B. Daily oral administration of 2 % Antidegnala liquor 2ml for 10 days.

Treatment C. A single intramuscular injection of terramycin-LA (Pfizer; 200 mg oxytetracycline/ml) 20 mg/kg b.w. local treatment of lesions proceeded as in treatment A.

Results

Prevalence.

During a one year study period a total of 640 cases were recorded in 5 villages of the district. Of these 470 were buffaloes and 170 were cattle . Of the buffaloes which showed lesions, 150 were young, 320 adult; 65 were males and 405 were females. 170 Sahiwal cattle which showed lesions, 139 were young, 31 adult; 134 were males and 36 were females. The disease was prevalent from November to February. The lesions developed only in cattle and buffaloes fed continuously on rice straw containing multiple dark specks.

Fungi isolated from infested rice straw. Species of fungi were isolated from the samples of rice straw, the most frequently recorded were: Aspergillus niger, Mucor hiemalis, Aspergillus flavus and Penicillium notatum.

Signs and lesions. Severe cases lingered for 1 to 2 months, but in others the wounds healed within a few weeks. The diseased animals were invariably weak. Ulcerative wounds and gangrene developed on the limbs and other dependent parts of the body. Almost all cases showed gangrene of the tail, which was shrivelled and cold to the touch. Invariably, one or both ears showed signs of dry gangrene. In some cases the muzzle and even the tip of the tongue became gangrenous and was shed. One or more hooves showed lesions in varying stages of development. In some cases the affected feet and legs were swollen up to the knee; hair was denuded and inflammatory changes set in. Later, wounds appeared on the coronet, fetlock, pastern, knee and in the hock region. In very advanced cases the lower regions of the feet become gangrenous. In some cases the hooves were shed and bones were exposed. The gangrenous portions of the tail, tips of the ears, tongue and other affected parts of the body, dropped off, although wounds healed in the course of time.

Therapeutic trials. The highest cure rate (90%) was observed with treatment A, followed by treatment B (70%). Treatments C had an identical cure rate of 30%.

Discussion

The disease is strongly associated with the feeding of rice straw containing multiple dark specks. This observation is concurs with the findings of earlier researchers (IRFAN and MAQBOOL, 1986) who reported that fungal infested straw and fungal mats of various species in different combinations, when mixed with fresh non-infested rice straw, produced the disease. Saprophytic fungi infesting rice straw produce mycotoxins possessing vasoconstriction, which produces the lesions of the disease (IRFAN et al., 1984). The greater severity of the disease in buffaloes as compared to that in cows may partly be due to the high susceptibility of this species. Therapeutic trials with an antidote Antidegnala Liquor given orally, and parentally gave highest percentage (90%) cure rate. This cure rate was in a broad agreement with the findings of SCHOENTAL (1980) who reported a cure rate of 80% with a penta-sulphate mixture. Secondary bacterial infections of the lesions were at least partially responsible for the severity of the disease. To address this complicating factor, long-acting Terramycin was injected parenterally. Moreover simultaneous use of antifungal(Diethylamine acetarsol,Acetylarson,Antidegnala liquior) induced development of immunity and was proven to be effective against infection.Taking the result of this study it is recommended that effort should be directed toward the prevention of F.graminearum infection in animals. Moreover further study should be conducted to confirm the involvement of this fungus in other animal and poultry diseases.Finaly the application of Diethylamine Acetarsol or its depravities(anti-degnala liquior) other immunomodulator for treatment of F.graminearum infection in domestic animals should be looked into.

Some Useful Tips for Horse Agistment

So you have a new four-legged member of the family. The horse you have always wanted. But you don’t have enough pastureland at home to keep it as close as you would like. Horse agistment is your only answer, but you want to spend as much time as possible looking after and being with your horse at the horse agistment place. Here are some top tips to make the most of your horse agistment time.

Horse agistment isn’t an ideal natural way of life. Horses naturally want to graze in open pastures. This is how they keep themselves occupied. In horse agistment however the domesticated horse may be stabled for long periods, eating and drinking only when provided for and exercising only when you take them out. Look for signs of ‘cribbing’. This is when the horse’s natural grazing instincts are met by alternative behaviors, such as chewing wood in its stall.

Other behaviors, besides cribbing, that are probably linked to agistment are “crib-biting” and “wind sucking.” The symptoms of these are clear and obvious but can be quite distressing to the new horse owner. A cribbing horse will set his upper front teeth onto the stall door or other woodwork. Then it tenses up the neck and facial muscles, retracts his throat/voice box, and sucks in air. A ‘wind sucker’ flexes his neck, gulps air and gives out a distressing grunting noise. A cribbing horse is a horse under stress or possibly suffering from physical (particularly abdominal) pain.

Ways to help your cribbing horse are to cut way down or eliminate grain and give them more opportunity to run free in pasture and or hay. Keep your horse turned out with company form the horse agistment place for as long as possible. Give your animal regular work to fill its time. Get hold of and use a cribbing collar. If the symptoms persist consult your vet for possible treatment for gastric ulcers. Also under veterinary supervision you could try a dietary supplement for a short time to see if this de-stresses your cribbing horse.

If you are stressing your horse will pick up on it. Get control of your agistment life and you can make the most of your time with your horse. Here are some tips to make your life easier too;

Ø Be sure to label all items of your horse equipment so it can be identified and set aside for you.

Ø Take photos of your saddle, tack room, trailer and any other stuff that you may need to identify at some point should it get stolen or confused with others.

Ø Set up a document file for each of your horses—‘Coggins’ papers, photos, vaccination/ medical records and any other important papers. Keep emergency number handy.

Ø Take photos of your horse from all angles and be sure to include any scars or identifying marks and keep them safe.

Ø Make a full copy of your horse’s file, your truck registration and put them in a separate safe place.

Ø Be sure to have; extra halters and lead ropes, tool kit (screwdriver, pliers, wrenches, hammer and crowbar), first-aid kits–equine and human, fire extinguisher,?sharp knife, mobile phone (fully charged) and finally change for pay phones just in case.

When you’ve done all this you can relax and enjoy your happy horse agistment time.

Chiropractic Care Famous Amongst US Army Officers

The method will likely be phased in above a five yr period. How it’s going to specifically operate is dependent about the US Department of Defense implementation strategy, yet being launched.
In the lately handed payment, the US Property and Senate agreed on language that sets up open accessibility to chiropractic treatment within the VA (Veterans Administration).
This new law, when enacted, will open admittance for all US military and veterans to obtain chiropractic attention beneath that plan. The particulars and implementation on the method have nevertheless being worked out however the intent was apparent.

Secretary Principi stated, “Today, VA makes yet another sizeable improvement on the world-class well being proper care we supply for eligible veterans. Veterans who will gain from chiropractic providers will now have the possibility to obtain chiropractic treatment to restore them to excellent wellness.”
The expenses consists of the following language, “at least 1 internet site for these kinds of software (chiropractic) in just about every geographic assistance region in the Veterans Wellbeing Administration” (VHA).

The chiropractic treatment particularly consists of subluxation proper care, in addition like a instruction software to orient the VHA personnel with regards to the advantages of chiropractic caution and companies and employment of medical doctors of chiropractic. This implies that chiropractic treatment really should be created accessible as a result of the hiring of chiropractors at each and every geographic place how the VA features a wellness proper care facility.

The post chronicles a veterinarian, Dr. Donald Howard, who following practicing conventional veterinary medicine for 30 many years, turned his practice toward chiropractic. Dr. Howard determined to take extensive instruction for being certified in the Overseas Veterinary Acupuncture Society (IVAS) plus the American Veterinary Chiropractor Association (AVCA).

Although continuing on to college, Laura took a part-time career at chiropractor Donald Hattier’s office in Delmar. She observed his belief in chiropractic by recalling, “He suggested that everybody really should get adjusted (chiropractic) if they will need it or not just due to the fact it is a balanced and holistic point to accomplish.”
It had been within this circumstance that her living was altered forever. Immediately after just her very first adjustment, her ulcers disappeared and her perspective started to increase. Laura commented, “I do not know if it had been coincidence or chiropractic.”

A total of 19 Norwegian chiropractors participated in this research. In all 158 individuals have been studied, all of whom fit the criteria of struggling with prolonged lasting or reoccurring reduced back again agony for a minimum of two weeks duration, with at the very least a single prior occurrence inside past 6 months. All subjects could not have had any chiropractic proper care from the prior 6 months to become eligible to participate inside the research. Participants ended up questioned every pay a visit to to rate their progress since it relates towards the ache.

In the May possibly 29, 2003 problems in the Every day Racing Forum plus the Johnson County Sun, comes a account of how a leading degree race equine, “Ten Most Wanted” was aided by chiropractic. The account reviews that the day right after the Kentucky Derby, he had been bumped sharply leaving the gate, placing his backside outside of alignment. “He wouldn’t jog,” his coach, Wally Dollase, remembered. “He had displaced his back again about a half an inch.”
