Food & Environmental
Intolerance Test

Discover Your Horse's 'Problem' Foods & Sensitivities.

Given horses, like humans, have a nervous system and the food they consume can have either a positive or negative effect on their brain and nervous system, it makes sense to conduct a food intolerance test for them.

 

Since horses cannot communicate their discomfort, it is even more important to check for foods that may cause problems, especially for performance horses who have a limited diet. Just as with humans, certain foods can cause health problems and consuming foods that their body cannot handle can negatively impact their energy levels and overall performance.

 

Symptoms can include: reduced performance, poor condition, lack of appetite, bloating, colic, lethargy, skin issues, mood swings and irritability, lack of focus, laminitis, inflammation, arthritis, joint stiffness and weight fluctuations.

 

By using advanced analysis methods, we can determine which foods your horse's body can tolerate and which it cannot. After making adjustments to their diet, you may see significant improvements in their nature, including increased speed, concentration, and stamina, within a few weeks.
 

A Pro-Active Approach

USING A NON-INVASIVE TESTING METHOD

We understand that horses have unique dietary needs, which is why we've gone the extra mile to create a test that is tailored specifically for them. With our Equiscan Report, you can take positive steps towards understanding your horses health better.

 

The results from your report will highlight the types of allergens and substances that your horse is intolerant to. This will help you identify trigger foods, ingredients and / or environmental items. To treat your horses intolerances, most of the time, you simply need to change their diet by removing the trigger items from their food plan. In some cases, intolerances may also require treatment or supplementation.

 

The report can be shown to your Vet or Health Adviser and a suitable plan of action can be developed.

  • Over 300 items tested including food and non food items.

  • Testing for pollen, trees, bushes, fibres, fragrances. 

  • Easy to Understand Results

  • Useful for Vets & Practitioners
