PulmonAID - Kelato

PulmonAID

Kelato

PulmonAID is a feed supplement containing a special formulation of various natural compounds including specific levels of Lecithin, Chlorophyll, Roughage products, Vitamin A, other vitamins, Calcium (etc.)

Features and Benefits

• Great for horses with EIPH and equine asthma
• Promotes healthy lung function and airway clearance
• Supports the airways of horses affected by environmental allergens (e.g. allergic reactions to dust)
• Potent antioxidant that can protect cell membranes from oxidative damage

How does PulmonAID work?

Maximal respiratory function is essential for optimal athletic performance. Issues such as allergic reactions to dust/pollution and conditions such as exercise-induced pulmonary haemorrhage (EIPH) or “bleeding” can have a significant impact on lung function and the welfare of the horse. Allergic reactions to dust and debris entering the lungs result in an inflammatory response, causing mucous production and narrowing of the airways. EIPH is the escape of blood cells into the lungs from the capillaries where gas exchange occurs, and subclinical disease is extremely common.

PulmonAID contains a combination of ingredients that work together to maintain the normal integrity and function of the lungs

Ingredients

• Chlorophyll
• Lecithin
• Vitamin A 218,840 IU/kg
• Vitamin D3 2,268 IU/kg
• Vitamin E 109 mg/kg
• Calcium Carbonate
• Calcium Succinate

DIRECTIONS:

Maintenance:

• Feed 60g (2 level scoops) per 500kg bodyweight per day.

Exercise-induced pulmonary haemorrhage (EIPH):

• After a horse has suffered a bleeding episode, spell the horse in a paddock for at least 8 to 12 weeks.
• While the horse is spelling, commence feeding PulmonAID at 60g (2 level scoops) per 500kg bodyweight per day.
• Four days prior to a race or strenuous workout, increase to 120g (4 level scoops) per 500kg bodyweight per day, ensuring you comply with all relevant rules of the competition.

NOTE the scoop provided is a 30g scoop

How Does It Work?

Pulmonary haemorrhage or “bleeding” experienced by equine athletes following demanding physical exertion is a problem that has plagued the business of racing horses since its inception. It is primarily due to the escape of blood cells into the lungs from the capillaries where the exchange of gas occurs.

PulmonAID contains Lecithin (a source of inositol, choline and B vitamins), vitamin A, chlorophyll & calcium which help to maintain cell membranes and strengthen the walls of body cells and capillaries in animals. They also play a role in the correct functioning of mucous membranes.

How Is It Used?

After a horse has suffered a bleeding attack, spell it in the paddock for at least 8-10 weeks (at least 12 weeks after a severe bleed).

The very first day the horse comes back into the stable after spelling, commence feeding 60g (2 level scoops) per 450kg bodyweight per day of PulmonAID.

For the first 5 weeks of feeding PulmonAID the horse should not be subject to strenuous exercise. This allows the important nutrients in PulmonAID (Lecithin, Chlorophyll, Vitamins A, E & D3, Calcium, etc.) time to build up to sufficient levels to aid lung capillary wall strength.

Four days prior to each race or trial, increase the dosage to 120 grams per 450kg bodyweight per day (4 level scoops).

Where possible reduce the amount of dust in the stable and in the feed. Avoid swimming known bleeders. Make sure the horse is well warmed-up prior to hard work. When used in this manner, results have shown over an 80% success rate at helping to prevent a re-bleed.

Key Features & Benefits:

Results in Australia, Hong Kong and the USA have shown PulmonAID to give better than an 80% success rate at preventing a re-bleed and helping with respiratory function.

PulmonAID contains NO prohibited substances.

PulmonAID may extend the racing life of your horse when used as directed.
