🚨Are you worried about the recent EHV outbreak?🐴
Now is a perfect time to remind ourselves that the immune system + gut health go hand-in-hand. While there’s no supplement that prevents or treats the neurological form of EHV, supporting overall immunity and gut integrity is a smart part of a support plan.
🐴 Boost the system with proper nutrition & gut support:
dac® Rescue Aid Paste & Powder are enhanced with GI Pro3 — an exclusive multi-strain probiotic/proteobiotic complex developed by the team at dac® / Performance Horse Nutrition® that targets harmful gut bacteria (think: Streptococcus equi, Rhodococcus, Clostridia) and supports the beneficial microbiome.
Here’s why that matters in an outbreak scenario⬇️
• A healthy gut microbiome helps your horse digest nutrients, absorb key vitamins & minerals, and maintain barrier integrity — all of which support immune-resilience.
• Stress (travel, hauling, showing, weather change) and new exposures can disrupt gut flora, depress immunity, and create “weak links” in the system. The GI Pro3 complex + live yeast + beneficial bacteria in Rescue Aid are designed to help stabilize that.
• While the product doesn’t target the virus itself, keeping the horse’s internal environment as robust as possible gives you a stronger foundation for your overall biosecurity efforts.
🔒 Other key tips to avoid EHV spread:
• Quarantine new or returning horses for at least 14-21 days and monitor.
• Don’t share tack, buckets, waterers, grooming tools between barns without thorough cleaning/disinfection.
• Limit nose-to-nose contact with unknown horses; avoid unnecessary mixing of groups.
• Reduce stress — hauling, competition, feed/setting changes all make the immune/gut system work harder.
• Make sure your vaccination and health-plan with your vet is up to date and risk-based (especially with high-traffic show barns).
Think of it like this💭
You’re not fighting the virus with a supplement alone, but you are strengthening the terrain — the gut, the immune system, the nutrition — so your champion is as ready as possible🏆
