Equibar Respirity®
All-natural nutrition bar for respiratory system for horses
Due to its particular formation, a horse’s respiratory system needs special attention in everyday life, especially those involved in sporting activities. The balanced and completely natural formulation of Equibar Respirity® aims to support the normal functioning of the animal’s respiratory system.
Thanks to the synergistic properties of three herbs, Thyme, Red Spruce bark and Echinacea, Equibar Respirity® acts on two fronts: favouring the fluidisation of bronchial secretions and supporting the body’s natural defences. Thyme, with its expectorant, antiseptic and mucolytic properties, promotes clearing of the airways, while Red Spruce bark has a secretolytic and antiseptic action, helping to relieve the ailments of the upper respiratory tract. Echinacea also stimulates the immune system, helping the horse to defend itself more effectively against pathogens.
The main advantages of using Equibar Respirity®
Equibar Respirity® is ideal for horses suffering from respiratory issues, allergies, and sensitivities to dust. It can also provide relief during seasonal transitions and temperature fluctuations.
Equibar Respirity® has been clinically tested on horses with both chronic and acute respiratory conditions, including those with inflammatory or allergic sensitivities.

Plant species known for their anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant and adjuvant properties have been chosen to treat cold-related syndromes and with a traditional use linked to the balsamic action.
Thyme, with its expectorant, antiseptic and mucolytic properties, promotes clearing of the airways, while Red Spruce has a secretolytic and antiseptic action, helping to relieve upper respiratory tract illnesses. Lastly, Echinacea is also used for the treatment and prevention of cold-related illnesses and improves immune system function, helping the horse to defend itself more effectively against pathogens.

Suitable for sport horses that need to improve their endurance. It is also useful in case of initial cough, seasonal changes and to support the respiratory system and the immune system. It may be useful in the presence of respiratory diseases diagnosed by the veterinarian (such as COPD or allergies) and in case of sarcoids or skin allergies.

Whenever you wish during the day, according to the specified dosage. Equibar Respirity® can be administered in its entirety as a biscuit or crumbled in the trough together with feed or WaferFioc®.
The Equibar® line was designed to naturally support the well-being of horses as complementary feed, which is practical to be used because it is in a snack format. Equibar Mobility®, Hemofluid®, Adaptive® and Respirity® acting on different aspects of the well-being of horses, can be used in synergy.
The different Equibar® bars can be given to horses at the same time or in any case during the same day, respecting the recommended dosage for each. They can be fed in their entirety as a biscuit (also as a reward for horses) or crumbled in the manger in combination with feed or WaferFioc®.

Your horse’s cough, especially at the beginning of trotting, could be caused by prolonged breathing of dust in the stable, generated by hay, bedding and the surrounding environment. Staying for many hours in a dusty, enclosed environment can irritate the airways, causing the so-called 3-4 coughs at the start of work. The purpose of coughing is to expel irritants from the body.
*If the cough persists or also occurs when resting, it is important to consult your veterinarian.

In case of coughing at the beginning of work or slight seasonal nasal secretions (particularly frequent in autumn due to viral infections and in summer due to increased dust), not accompanied by systemic symptoms (fever, mucus, thick runny nose, etc.), Equibar Respirity can be a valuable support for the horse’s respiratory well-being.* However, a veterinary check-up is recommended in case of worsening symptoms or persistence over time.
Respiratory diseases can affect any horse.
However, environmental factors such as dust, mould and poor ventilation can increase the risk of developing these problems, especially in equines living in such conditions.

Temperature changes such as seasonal ones can significantly impair a horse’s respiratory health. Alternating between high temperatures during the day and lower temperatures at night puts significant stress on the respiratory system, causing imbalances that make it more susceptible to infections. In addition, the immune system is weakened, reducing the body’s ability to fight pathogens.
If your horse is frequently sick, it is essential to have a veterinary check-up. A proper diet is the first step to strengthening its immune system. A healthy gut with balanced microbiota produces the antibodies needed for defence against disease.
Remember that a well-fed horse, with an active life and suitable environment, is less likely to get sick.

• Protect the horse from the cold: Avoid exposing your horse to drafts, especially if it is wet or sweaty.
• Use of blankets: Use a blanket only when needed, i.e. at night or when very cold. During the day, remove itto prevent sweating.
• Shearing: If sweating a lot, shear the horse to help regulate its temperature.
• Bathe with caution: Avoid wetting the horse completely with cold water. A hot shower and thorough dryingin a warm place is better.

BCO is a chronic equine disease, which can only be diagnosed by a veterinarian.
Horses can have both acute and chronic allergies.
• Acute allergies: They cause symptoms such as coughing, difficulty breathing and shortness of breath. These symptoms often disappear when the cause of the allergy is eliminated.
• Chronic allergies: They cause the same symptoms but are more persistent because it is difficult to completely eliminate the cause (for example, dust or mites).
A horse with chronic allergy is not necessarily broken winded. A broken winded horse (with a BCO or COPD diagnosis) has a chronic disease of the bronchi and lungs. Symptoms include continuous coughing, abdominal breathing, increased respiratory rate with typical belly breathing and reluctance to work hard.

Although there is no absolute guarantee, we can do a lot to protect our horse’s respiratory system.
Taking a few simple steps can make a difference such as:
• Ensuring your horse has a clean and well-ventilated environment.
• Performing outdoor activities every day.
• Choosing hay free of dust and mould.
• Opting for feed without aflatoxins.
• Avoiding the horse breathing in dust raised from the ground.
• Not exposing the horse to drafts if very sweaty or wet.
• Not putting the horse in the stable immediately after work but always let it have a cooling phase.
• Avoiding blankets when it is hot and the horse is sweating.

Did you know that…
Crude proteins: are the building blocks of the body and serve to build tissues and muscles.
Raw fats: are a source of energy and must be commensurate with the daily energy needs of animals.
Crude fibre (or raw cellulose): is essential for horses since it promotes chewing and therefore digestion and intestinal motility.
Crude ash: are the inorganic component, i.e. the minerals contained in the ingredients of food. They are called “crude ashes” because, if we incinerate the food, they would be the part that remains (the ash, in fact), while the organic component would be completely burned. For example: Calcium, Phosphorus, Magnesium.
