Patient: Mahza

age/breed/sex: 22-year-old Quarter Horse Mare

History:

Mahza presented with both internal and external abscessation. Two other veterinarians had attempted therapy with Trimethoprim-Sulfa and Penicillin with no results.

Diagnostics:

02/02/09—Mahza was taken to the UC Davis Veterinary Hospital with multiple external abscesses.

02/03/09—Lab work revealed an elevated WBC with increased neutrophils (77 %) and decreased lymphocytes (16 %). UC Davis diagnosed Mahza with Pigeon Breast. It was confirmed later by a positive titer of 1:5120. The culture was positive for Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis.

Therapy:

02/02/09—The owner requested that Dr. Ramaekers start Mahza on his Equine Immune Formula that day, and they went to UC Davis. Mahza did not receive antibiotics, but her owners continued to administer the Ramaekers Equine Immune Formula to her daily.

Follow up:

03/25/09—Mahza showed marked clinical improvements with respect to the external abscesses. Additionally, she experienced a significant improvement in her appetite and level of activity. Repeat lab work showed a normal white blood cell count (WBC) with both neutrophils (54%) and lymphocytes (40%) returning to normal levels.

05/11/09—Mahza continues to improve overall appearance and health. The external abscess was nearly completely healed.

Equine Transfer Factor Premix Pellets

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.

Description

Our Equine Transfer Factor Premix Pellets can be administered as a natural catalyst or as an effective substitute for traditional Western medicine approaches to therapy and prevention.

Transfer Factor Technology

Trust transfer factor technology to optimize immune system function. While many products use single, rudimentary ingredients known to aid immune health, Ramaekers Nutrition delivers the only immune support products harnessing transfer factor supported by a unique, patented blend of essential nutrients and potent nutraceuticals. For example, see our Mission.

Patented Formulas

Our patented formulas use transfer factor technology. These formulas are derived from a proprietary blend of bioactive peptides and are based on the synergistic effect of combining naturally sourced biologically active peptides (transfer factor).

These bioactive peptides are extracted from bovine colostrum and egg yolks. To clarify, this blend combines unique plant-derived heteropolysaccharides, lactic acid-producing probiotics, and highly bioavailable micronutrients. To summarize, combining these immune-active ingredients results in a significantly enhanced immune response in equine health, with no adverse effects. For example, see Bovine Products, Canine Products, Feline Products, Equine Products, and Other Livestock Products.

Unique Formulas

Our unique formulas help educate and boost the immune system for overall health and vitality. In short, immune education starts at birth and should continue throughout life with our patented products.

Ramaekers Nutrition’s products reflect a culmination of global research and clinical experience. Dr. Ramaekers is passionate about improving animal welfare. He is proud to be on the cutting edge of veterinary medicine (meet our veterinary team) and nutrition. Learn more about Ramaekers Nutrition.

Natural Pain Relievers

Dr. Ramaekers focused on replacing these nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications, such as Butazolidin and Banamine. To begin with, these pain relievers have many serious side effects, such as bleeding ulcers. For example, see Equine Health.

With this in mind, he formulated products using natural pain relievers, including curcumin, Boswellia, hyaluronic acid, glucosamine, and chondroitin. Most importantly, these natural products are equally effective and have no side effects.

Focusing on a mineral balance makes these products more readily available at the cellular level, enabling enhanced joint health and improved nutrient absorption. Moreover, Dr. Ramaekers has replaced 80% of typical Western medicine pain relievers with his natural formulas.
