EquiNectar®: A Breakthrough in Horse Digestive Health

The Discovery

In 2009, University of Cambridge gastroenterologist Professor John Hunter began investigating digestive issues in horses. He partnered with University of Birmingham toxicologist Dr. Rosemary Waring and malt expert Dennis Briggs to develop what would become EquiNectar®.

Scientific Development

By 2014, research on thoroughbred racehorses' digestive systems revealed the need for better gut health solutions. The team developed EquiNectar®, an enzyme-rich malt extract specifically designed for horses.

Proven Results

Clinical trials at the British Army's Defence Animal Training Regiment demonstrated remarkable success:

  • 82% of horses showed significant improvement
  • 47% experienced complete resolution of clinical signs

Today, EquiNectar® is used across all horse regiments of the British Army and by the Metropolitan Police mounted units, testament to its effectiveness in high-performance environments.

Global Success

  • Thousands of horses benefiting from EquiNectar® across the UK, Europe, and Australia
