While nutrition has historically been considered the appropriate amount of nutrients needed for energy, to maintain weight and promote growth, the majority of dietary effects may actually occur in ways that are, in fact, not always obvious to the naked eye. This is until there is evidence of a health concern. But what is consumed through the daily diet really begins by influencing at the level of the cell and has a profound effect on each and every living animal. What the horse consumes has the ability to benefit so many areas of health, including immunity, athletic performance, reproduction, metabolism, longevity and more. But what the horse takes in daily also has the ability to interfere or take away from the health and well-being of the animal. A specific fat, the omega-3 fatty acid, has a significant role in equine nutrition due to its multiple applications

HorStem is the first registered veterinary medicine based on mesenchymal stem cells obtained from the umbilical cord of horses. Stem cells reduce lameness in horses with mild to moderate degenerative joint disease (OA).
It is a ready-to-use, sterile, injectable suspension for intra-articular use in horses. Each vial contains 15 million active stem cells, more than enough to achieve the minimum effective dose in the joint regardless of the degree of inflammation or the patient's immune system status.
How does HorStem work?
The mechanism of action of HorStem is illustrated in the figure on the right. Mesenchymal stem cells are activated in the synovium by inflammatory cytokines. In response, they secrete anti-inflammatory cytokines such as Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2).
While PGE2 is primarily known for its pro-inflammatory effects, it also plays a crucial role in regulating inflammation. It is one of the major immunomodulatory cytokines in the body.
When applied to horses with OA, HorStem inhibits T-cell proliferation, reduces the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines like TNF-alpha, and decreases the presence of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) that contribute to the breakdown of cartilage's extracellular matrix. Studies have shown that these effects are mediated by PGE2. (1)
Moreover, umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells stimulate the production of anti-inflammatory cytokines such as IL-4, IL-5, IL-10, and TGF-beta. As the inflammatory response ceases

Oxtra DD 100 mg/ml Oxytetracycline
Oxtra DD is an antibiotic for the treatment of infections caused by oxytetracycline-sensitive organisms. Oxtra DD is a solution for injection for horses, cattle, sheep, pigs, dogs and cats.
What is Oxtra DD?
Oxtra DD is a bacteriostatic antibiotic with high bioavailability and a broad antibacterial spectrum of action covering both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. Oxtra DD gives good concentrations both in deep tissue and intracellularly.
Oxytetracycline inhibits protein synthesis in susceptible bacteria. It binds to the receptors on subunit 30S which prevents the addition of amino acids to the growing peptide chain, thereby inhibiting protein synthesis.
Oxtra DD can be administered intramuscularly every 24 hours thanks to its special formulation, either at low doses or at higher doses
