Vetri-Plus Powder and Omega 3,6,9

Summer Itch is a distressing skin condition also known as Summer Eczema and Seasonal Dermatitis.

Summer Itch is a condition caused by a hypersensitivity to the bites of the Culicoides flies. After being bitten, some horses are allergic to a substance in the saliva of the fly, which causes a local reaction. This in turn causes intense irritation with severe itching, which the horse tries to relieve by rubbing and biting itself.

The culicoides flies are active from April to November. They feed primarily at dusk and dawn, and tend to feed on the horse at specific sites, particularly around the head, tail head, withers, and base of the mane, however other areas, including the chest, back and rump can also be affected.

The fly bites form blisters, which can weep, causing crusting, scabs and scaling. Prolonged rubbing and biting results in, hair loss and damage to the skin, with sometimes bleeding open sores. Occasionally secondary bacterial infections can occur. It is also not uncommon for horses to rub off their mane and upper tail hair. In the long term, skin thickening and loss of hair pigmentation may occur.

Next to repellants and eczema blankets, nutritional supplements are often used to ease the symptoms of summer eczema. Omega fatty acids already showed to have a positive influence on allergic complaints. They also support wound healing.

Vitamin B3 (as niacinamid) is a very popular product that is incorporated in a lot products used in the battle against summer eczema. It is supposed that vitamin B3 can support a “deregulated” immune system.

New Food for Animals therefore offers you a combination of two products: a complete multivitamin and an Omega fatty acid oil. The multivitamin, Vetri-Plus, contains a lot of B-vitamins, including niacinamide (= nicotinamide). Next to a full spectrum of fat and water-soluble vitamins, Vetri-Plus contains minerals, digestive enzymes, amino acids, and electrolytes to support your horse´s health. The PrimeVal Omega oil is rich in essential fatty acids.

This combination will last three months and may support you in the battle against summer eczema!
