According to The Horse magazine, there are three major factors that can affect the health of an equine immune system. They are stress, nutrition and age. When a horse exerts all of its strength in running a race, stress can result. When the horse is stressed, the body looks for extra nutrience. If proper nutrience is not found, then the immune system can be compromised and the risk of contracting a disease rises.
As a horse ages, just as a human ages, the body becomes weaker, and the immune system is less equipped to fight off diseases. Invaders that attack the immune system can include parasites, bacteria, virus particles, and even cancer cells. In order to protect your horse from these health risks, it is important to keep their immune systems healthy.
Silver Lining Herbs, an equine health products company providing herbs for horses, tells us that the immune system is “all of the major organs working together with the blood and the lymphatic system for the optimal welfare of the horse.” The immune system works like a cleansing system for the body, exhausting all the toxins from the liver, kidneys, blood, lymphatic, digestive system, skin, etc.
Silver Lining Herbs offer a product called “Horse Immune System Support.” This is a horse nutritional product designed to build immunity in your horse. It is made up of Eluthro, Garlic, Olive Leaf, Plantain, Red Clover, Rose Hips, Sarsaprillo, Barberry, Echinacea, Parsley, Wheat Grass, Cascara and Licorice. These all natural products help the body to work naturally to build its resilience against bacteria and toxins.
