Product Description
Zylkene Equine
Zylkene Equine helps horses cope with stressful situations. Zylkene Equine only contains natural ingredients.
Zylkene Equine is a natural food supplement, developed to help horses and ponies cope with stressful situations. Zylkene Equine helps horses to quickly and easily adapt to changes in their environment or daily routine. Even in dogs and cats, Zylkene Capsules is widely used to reduce stress. There are no undesirable side effects such as drowsiness, loss of concentration or reduced performance. Restlessness in horses can, among other things, result from: long mandatory stable rest; a new environment, people or horses; weaning; drilling and training; transport by trailer or plane; competitions; grooming or shaving; or a visit to/from the vet, dentist or farrier.
Zylkene Equine can be used short and long-term:
- Short term: If the horse's discomfort is affected by transport or dentist visit, for example, Zylkene Equine can help. You should start the treatment 2 days before the event and discontinue once the stressful period is over.
- Long term: Zylkene Equine can be given long-term in cases of continuous behavioural problems. You'll see success with the combination of behavioural training and the administration of Zylkene Equine. After 20 days, the horse's behaviour should be evaluated by a veterinarian. If required, the treatment can be continued.
Manifestations of anxiety and stress in horses
A certain level of anxiety is normal. But when excessive, it can lead to behavioural problems developing in horses, including:
- Weaving: Swaying back and forth (from left to right), swinging the head, neck and sometimes the hindquarters.
- Cribbing and air-sucking: This is when a horse grasps an object with their front teeth, making a pulling movement where air is sucked into the oesophagus. Air-sucking is the same but without the object.
- Shaking and nodding head: Repeatedly moving the head up and down, or suddenly flinging the head.
- Playing with the tongue: Horse sticks their tongue out, letting it hang in the air.
- Additional stereotypical behaviour: repeatedly licking and biting the walls, feeding troughs etc.
