What is OKAPI EndoProtect?
EndoProtect is designed to support the horse’s metabolism when forced to feed hay of questionable hygienic quality. Unfortunately, even with best practices, farmers are not always able to producing hay that is optimal. This can occur when the hay was pressed too moist because otherwise it would have spoiled, or if storage conditions were not as ideal as desired. Occasionally, this can lead to slight mould growth, which can be detected by the musty smell and the rather dusty character of the forage.
Such contamination puts a strain on the horse’s digestive system and natural detoxification processes, as moulds, among other things, produce mycotoxins that are absorbed through the gut wall and can stress the liver and kidneys. EndoProtect, with its special formulation, can help the horse cope better with less-than-optimal hay quality for a certain period. However, EndoProtect is not a free pass to feed mouldy hay to horses! It can only assist in alleviating the metabolism during phases of excessive stress caused by hygienically substandard hay or dry haylage.
Is OKAPI EndoProtect suitable for my horse?
OKAPI EndoProtect is particularly suitable for horses suffering from poor hay quality, whether due to a high moisture content or potential mould contamination.
Can I combine OKAPI EndoProtect with other products?
EndoProtect can be administered in combination with other feed, such as herbal mixtures, but should be fed with a minimum of two hours’ separation from mineral-based feeds to avoid the binding of minerals by bentonite.
How long should I feed OKAPI EndoProtect ?
Die Verwendung von EndoProtect kann auch über längere Zeiträume in Betracht gezogen werden, wobei die Hauptpriorität immer die Optimierung der Heuqualität bleibt. EndoProtect ist eine wertvolle Unterstützung, wenn die Futterqualität nicht ideal ist, ersetzt jedoch nicht die Notwendigkeit für qualitativ hochwertiges Heu.
The use of EndoProtect can also be considered over longer periods, with the primary focus always remaining on optimizing hay quality. EndoProtect is a valuable support when feed quality is less than ideal, but it does not replace the need for high-quality hay.
Wie wird OKAPI EndoProtect gefüttert?
OKAPI EndoProtect can be mixed into the concentrate feed or sprinkled over dampened hay or haylage.
How do I calculate the correct dosage for my horse?
To calculate the appropriate dosage for OKAPI EndoProtect, follow these steps:
Determine your horse’s weight. This can be done by weighing the horse, using a weight tape, or by using apps such as the BCI App from our partner Sanoanimal, available for free on both Google Play und Apple Store.
The general recommendation for OKAPI products is based on a 600 kg horse. The suggested daily amount is 1-2 ml (1 scoop = 17 g), which equals 17-34 g per day.
If your horse weighs 300 kg, the dosage should be adjusted accordingly. The calculation would be:
Daily dose (34 g) ÷ 600 kg × Horse weight (300 kg) = Daily ration (17 g).
This calculation method helps determine the correct amount of OKAPI EndoProtect based on your horse’s weight.
Due to the higher levels of technological additives, this feed should not exceed 1% of the daily ration for horses.
