Equine Health

Our unique formulas are designed to educate and boost the immune system, promoting overall health and vitality. Immune education begins at birth and should continue throughout an equine’s life with our patented products.

Natural Pain Relievers

Dr. Ramaekers’s supplements for equine health aim to replace nonsteroidal anti-inflammatories like Butazolidin and banamine, which can cause serious side effects. His natural alternatives, including curcumin, boswellia, hyaluronic acid, glucosamine, and chondroitins, are equally effective without the adverse effects. These products enhance cellular availability and joint absorption by focusing on mineral balance. Dr. Ramaekers has successfully replaced 80% of typical pain relievers with his natural formulas.

FISTULOUS WITHERS (BRUCELLA ABORTUS)

KEY POINTS:

  • Natural Immunotherapy can be very effective for chronic inflammatory conditions complicated by infection
  • Improving cell-mediated immunity can be an effective adjunctive therapy approach for difficult cases

Patient:

14-year-old Quarter horse

History:

The owners of this horse have been battling fistulous withers for 3 YEARS!! Two other veterinarians have been unsuccessful at treating this horse. There was a large area of exudative dermatitis over the left supraspinatus area.

Therapy:

Traditional therapy involves complete dissection of the affected and surrounding tissues, which leads to prolonged recovery times and significant expense.

In this case, Dr. McClung first started therapy with Transfer Factor Performance and Show. After two months of daily treatment, the condition was entirely resolved.

Equine Strangles Study 2004

Equine Transfer Factor Premix Pellets are available for horses of any age. These highly palatable supplement pellets are designed for your horse’s diet to support growth, performance, and disease challenges. The pellets contain patented immune therapy with transfer factor, mushrooms, and pre and probiotics.

KEY POINTS: EQUINE STRANGLES STUDY 2004

  • Natural Immunotherapy can potentiate the clinical effects of antibiotic therapy by improving cell-mediated immunity.
  • Enhanced Cell-Mediated immunity can more effectively penetrate abscessed and granulomatous-type tissue.

History:

This ranch in Eastern Washington has been battling strangles for years. This study was conducted on a closed herd of 29 horses with acute and chronic hot streptococcal equine infections, characterized by abscessation and weight loss.

The Study:

The horses were randomly assigned to a control group (14 heads) and a treatment group (15 heads). On Day 0 and Day 40, physical exams were performed, and body weights and general physical findings were recorded.

On Day 0 and Day 40, ultrasound was used to evaluate the degree of abscessation. All of the horses received an autogenous bacterin and antibiotic therapy (Baytril). The treatment group received the Ramaekers Equine Immune Formula daily.

Equine Strangles Study 2004 Results:

The treatment group gained an average of 39 pounds compared to 20 pounds for the control group. At the conclusion of the study, the attending veterinarian observed a notable improvement in the general physical condition and health of the treatment group.

Enlarged Thyroid

Featured Pet, Icelandic.

Hi Dr. Ramaekers, I’m not sure you remember me. I came in last fall and talked to you because my Icelandic had an enlarged thyroid for no apparent reason.

Something incredible has happened. His enlarged thyroid shrank!

All blood tests are normal, save for elevated eosinophils. I haven’t had a chance to run his blood work yet, but I realized something incredible has happened. His enlarged thyroid shrank!

I believe it has to do with the Equine Transfer Factor Premix Pellets.

It’s been about four months since I started him on it. I wanted to share the good news! And send a photo comparison of last summer compared to now.

Pretty cool! Thank you for your research and all your help!

Confined and Malnourished

Confined and Malnourished. Featured Pet, Easy Sailor.

Sailor was kicked in the shoulder when he was six months old. His owner said to put him down if he couldn’t race. A guy took Sailor to his boarding facility and put him in an indoor 10×15 stall with no sunlight, dirt, or ability to touch another horse. He was kept there for three years, confined and malnourished. There were nine additional family members, all starving, on the property. 

We got permission and began rehoming the horses.

I took Sailor, as we had no idea of his condition after growing up in a confined space and being so malnourished. 

He is a darling, friendly, and curious guy. He is kind and gentle with children and the elderly. He’s been with me for seven years now. I was able to ride him 22 times before we decided that he was just too sore in his front feet to carry a rider. He has juvenile arthritis, so now we use clicker training and introduce people to the wonderful experience of spending time with horses in a positive, harmonious environment. 

Sailor was a weaver*, so after years of searching, we finally found an old homestead property in Santa Rosa, CA, where Sailor and his pal, Holly, live loose on 60 acres with a creek and many very old oak trees. There is an abundance of grass to eat. 

Sailor has the Transfer Factor Premix Pellets in his ration to help ward off Cushing’s and laminitis. We work closely with Trudy Johnson to help me monitor his overall health. I’m so very grateful and comforted to have your transfer factor pellets to help me keep sweet Sailor safe and happy.

Featured Pet, Easy Sailor.

*Weaving is a repetitive behavior in horses where the horse sways its head, neck, and forequarters from side to side, shifting its weight from one front leg to the other. It’s a common stable vice that can occur when a horse is confined to a stall for an extended period or when it experiences stress, boredom, or frustration.
