EQI® Protector – A Strong Start for Every Foal, More Resilience for Every Horse
The first hours of a foal's life are critical. A horse is born without a functioning immune system and is entirely dependent on colostrum intake to receive antibodies – a transfer that, unlike in many other species, cannot take place through the placenta in horses. If a foal receives insufficient or delayed colostrum, it becomes vulnerable to infection during a period when it has not yet built up its own defences.
EQI® Protector was developed to bridge exactly that gap. A 100% natural supplement containing high-quality bovine colostrum, prebiotics, essential vitamins, minerals and a readily available energy source – specially formulated for both foals and adult horses.
Why Choose EQI® Protector?
Colostrum (B.I.O.Ig) – the foundation of early immunity
At the core of EQI® Protector is high-quality bovine colostrum powder, rich in antibodies. This supports early immunisation of the foal and contributes to local immunity in the gut – precisely where the first line of defence against pathogens is located.
TechnoMos® – prebiotic support
This prebiotic, derived from the yeast cell wall, helps bind harmful gram-negative bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract and supports a balanced immune response. This keeps the gut flora in balance, even during vulnerable periods.
B.I.O.Key® chelates, vitamins and minerals
Vitamin A, C, E and B12, complemented by zinc, copper, manganese and selenium in a highly bioavailable chelated form. These nutrients support the immune system and overall vitality.
MCT oil – instantly available energy
For newborn foals or horses recovering from stress, illness or exertion, readily available energy is essential. MCT oil is absorbed quickly and converted into usable energy without burdening digestion.
