Dust, spores, pollen and other particles can challenge a horse's respiratory system on a daily basis and can be caused by the environment that they are living in, dust in hay, or bedding or even from pollen in the pastures. The respiratory system is vital to the health of the horse and also to their performance when they are working harder. Oxygen plays an important role in energy production, and this can be compromised if the respiratory system is not working optimally.
Normally horses can cope with the everyday challenge to their respiratory system, but there can be times when a healthy respiratory system can become overwhelmed and these irritants can cause irritation to the sensitive lining or mucosa of the respiratory track, including the lungs. Horses will generally start to show signs when their respiratory system is not working optimally.
This is when targeted nutritional support can play a key role to support the natural defence against these challenges and Ventilator Powder from Equine America combines a powerful blend of natural herbs and phytochemicals (active compounds from plants) that are well known for their role in promoting lung health and maintaining respiratory function. Ventilator Powder also contains Echinacea and MSM to help support the immune system.
(If you are concerned about your horse’s respiratory health, please contact your veterinary surgeon as well as considering nutritional support)

Garlic and MSM help support a the horse’s own anti-inflammatory response, and maintain healthy airways.
