Daily digestive support for the whole horse
Better digestion. A healthier hindgut. A more consistent horse.
EquiNectar is a daily digestive supplement built around our patented Enzyme Rich Malt Extract. Its naturally occurring digestive enzymes help break down the horse's feed and forage earlier in the digestive process, improving nutrient utilisation and changing what reaches the hindgut.
That upstream action supports a healthier hindgut environment and microbiome, while providing a digestive foundation for condition, behaviour, performance and reduced digestive risk.

Better upstream digestion means less rapidly fermentable material is available further down the digestive tract, helping support a healthier fermentation environment, pH and microbiome.
Support more than the gut.
Efficient digestion underpins the horse's ability to use its ration effectively. Owners may notice differences in condition, digestive consistency, demeanour and performance.

How to use EquiNectar
Serious digestive science. Simple to feed.
EquiNectar is designed to fit into the horse's normal feeding routine. Measure the appropriate amount, add it to the feed and feed twice daily. Your horse's ongoing feed rate depends on body weight and activity level.
Everyday feeding
Measure. Add. Feed.
No soaking, mixing protocol or separate preparation. EquiNectar is simply added to the horse's normal feed. For the standard routine, divide the appropriate daily feed rate across two feeds.
≈ 1
fl oz per pump
Use the pump.
The standard EquiNectar pump delivers approximately 1 fl oz, or 30ml, making the daily amount easy to measure consistently.
Approx. 1 fl oz per pumpAdd to normal feed.
Pump EquiNectar directly onto the horse's usual feed. Its liquid consistency helps it distribute easily through the ration.
No separate preparationMake it part of every day.
For the standard feeding routine, give EquiNectar twice daily. Consistent use provides ongoing digestive enzyme support as diet, grass, workload and routine change.
Daily digestive supportThe standard US feeding guide is expressed as an amount per feed, based on two feeds each day.
Start with a smaller amount and increase every three days before moving to the horse's appropriate ongoing feed rate.
The ongoing feed rate is determined by the horse's body weight and whether workload is light to medium or high.

| Over 1200 lb | Light-Medium | 4 fl oz | 8 fl oz | ≈ 4 per feed |
| Over 1200 lb | High Activity | 6 fl oz | 12 fl oz | ≈ 6 per feed |
A note about once-daily feeding
When EquiNectar is fed once per day, the ongoing amount is 70% of the standard total daily feed rate. For example, a horse normally receiving 3 fl oz twice daily has a standard total of 6 fl oz per day, so the once-daily amount is 4.2 fl oz. This rule applies to the ongoing feed rate and should not automatically be applied to the gradual introduction schedule.

What is actually inside EquiNectar?
Explore the ingredients ↓
What's inside EquiNectar?
It starts with malted barley.
EquiNectar has a remarkably simple formulation. At its heart is our Enzyme Rich Malt Extract, produced from carefully selected malted barley and containing a naturally occurring spectrum of active digestive enzymes.
Malted barley
The active foundation
Simple formulation. Complex digestive activity.
Germination naturally activates the barley's own enzyme systems. Our patented production process is designed to preserve that digestive enzyme activity in the finished Enzyme Rich Malt Extract, creating a practical liquid supplement that can be added to the horse's normal feed every day.
3
ingredients in the complete formulation
8
digestive enzyme activities
1
patented malt-based process
Complete formulation
Three ingredients. Nothing complicated.
The complexity comes from the natural activity within the malt extract, not from a long list of added microorganisms or synthetic digestive enzymes.
Produced from malted barley and naturally rich in digestive enzyme activity. This is the ingredient responsible for EquiNectar's distinctive malt character and its core digestive mechanism.
A small amount of medium-chain triglyceride oil derived from coconut forms part of the complete liquid formulation.
Included to help maintain product quality and stability during normal storage and use.
Digestive enzyme activity
Eight enzymes. Different parts of the diet.
EquiNectar is not built around one isolated enzyme. Its Enzyme Rich Malt Extract contains multiple naturally occurring enzyme activities involved in breaking down carbohydrates, protein, fats and plant material. Click any enzyme to learn more.
01 Amylase Starch digestion
Amylase helps break down starch into smaller carbohydrate units earlier in the digestive process. This is particularly relevant where horses receive grain or other starch-containing feeds.
02 Fructanase Fructan breakdown
Fructanase acts on fructans, carbohydrates commonly found in pasture grasses. Fructan levels can change substantially with weather, season and plant growth.
03 Cellulase Plant fibre
Cellulase acts on cellulose, one of the major structural carbohydrates found in plant material and forage.
04 Xylanase Plant cell walls
Xylanase helps break down xylans, structural components within plant cell walls. It adds another layer to EquiNectar's broad plant-material enzyme activity.
05 Beta-glucanase Beta-glucans
Beta-glucanase breaks down beta-glucans, another group of complex carbohydrates present in cereal and plant material.
06 Phytase Phytate breakdown
Phytase acts on phytate, a naturally occurring compound found in plant ingredients and cereal grains.
07 Protease Protein digestion
Protease contributes to the breakdown of dietary proteins into smaller components that can be used within the normal digestive process.
08 Lipase Fat digestion
Lipase acts on dietary fats, complementing the carbohydrate and protein enzyme activities present in EquiNectar.
Explore what else is naturally present
What is Enzyme Rich Malt Extract? The active malt-based foundation of EquiNectar +
Enzyme Rich Malt Extract begins with malted barley. During malting, the grain is allowed to germinate, naturally activating enzymes that help the young plant mobilize stored nutrients.
EquiNectar uses a patented process designed to retain this useful enzyme activity and make it available as a palatable liquid that can be incorporated into the horse's normal feeding routine.
Naturally occurring B vitamins Part of the wider nutritional profile of malt +
The malt extract naturally contains a range of B vitamins, including:
Thiamine B1
Riboflavin B2
Niacin B3
Pyridoxine B6
Folate B9
Vitamin B12
Naturally occurring minerals A broader nutritional profile alongside enzyme activity +
The malt extract also contains naturally occurring minerals including:
Magnesium
Potassium
Selenium
Zinc
Iron
Antioxidant and phenolic compounds Naturally occurring compounds from the malt matrix +
EquiNectar's malt matrix naturally contains compounds including ferulic acid, flavan-3-ols and phenolic acids.
Ferulic acid
Flavan-3-ols
Catechins
Phenolic acids
Why malted barley? Germination naturally activates digestive enzymes +
A grain contains stored nutrients intended to fuel a new plant. When barley begins to germinate, it activates enzymes that help break those stored nutrients down.
That natural biological process is what makes malted barley such an effective starting point for EquiNectar. Rather than relying on a single added enzyme, the malt provides a broad spectrum of naturally occurring digestive enzyme activities.
An important distinction
EquiNectar does not add bacteria to the gut.
EquiNectar works further upstream. Its digestive enzymes help change how the diet is broken down before it reaches the hindgut. That changes the nutritional substrate available to the horse's existing microbial community.
Next
So what happens after you add EquiNectar to the feed?
How EquiNectar works ↓
How EquiNectar works
Change digestion earlier. Change what happens downstream.
EquiNectar does not work by adding bacteria to the gut. Its naturally occurring digestive enzymes act earlier in the digestive process, helping break down components of feed and forage before they reach the hindgut.
The central idea
The hindgut can only ferment what arrives there.
When more of the diet is digested upstream, the balance of material arriving in the hindgut changes. That means a different nutritional environment for the horse's existing microbial community, with less rapidly fermentable carbohydrate available downstream.
↑
Work upstream
Support digestion before excess rapidly fermentable
carbohydrate reaches the hindgut.
Two common challenges
Starch and fructans. Different sources, same sensitive hindgut.
Modern feeding presents the horse with two especially important carbohydrate challenges. One often comes from concentrate feeds. The other comes from pasture.
Feed and grain
Pathway 1
Starch can overwhelm upstream digestion.
Grain and concentrate feeds can provide substantial starch. If the horse does not digest all of that starch before it reaches the hindgut, it becomes available for rapid microbial fermentation. EquiNectar's amylase activity helps support starch digestion earlier.
Starch-rich feed
→
Upstream enzyme activity
→
Less undigested starch downstream
Pasture
Pathway 2
Fructans can change quickly with the grass.
Fructans are carbohydrates found in pasture and their concentration can vary with season, sunlight, temperature and plant growth. EquiNectar provides fructanase activity, helping break down fructans earlier in the digestive process.
Fructan-rich pasture
→
Upstream enzyme activity
→
Less rapidly fermentable substrate downstream
Where the pathways meet
Better upstream digestion creates a different hindgut environment.
The mechanism is not about forcing a particular bacterial population into the gut. It is about changing the substrate available to the microbial community that is already there.
01
Feed and forage
The horse eats its normal diet.
Starch, fructans, protein, fats and structural plant material enter the digestive tract.
02
Enzyme activity
More digestion takes place earlier.
EquiNectar provides multiple digestive enzyme activities that complement the horse's normal digestive process.
03
Hindgut arrival
The substrate reaching the hindgut changes.
Less undigested rapidly fermentable carbohydrate is available for uncontrolled fermentation downstream.
04
Microbial environment
The existing microbiome responds.
Changes in substrate availability can support a more favorable hindgut environment, fermentation profile and microbial balance.
Why that matters
Digestion is the starting point. The effects can be much wider.
A healthier digestive environment supports more than manure consistency. It influences how effectively the horse uses its diet and provides a foundation for condition, behavior, performance and long-term wellbeing.
Better breakdown of the diet upstream helps the horse make more effective use of the ration being fed.
Changing the nutritional substrate reaching the hindgut changes the environment experienced by its microbial community.
Reducing the burden of rapidly fermentable carbohydrate can help support a more stable hindgut fermentation environment.
More effective digestion and nutrient utilisation can help support body condition and the productive use of the horse's diet.
Digestive comfort and hindgut health can form part of the picture in horses that appear reactive, unsettled or inconsistent.
Supporting digestion, hindgut stability and microbial balance helps address important digestive pathways associated with increased colic risk.
Go deeper into the mechanism
Why does hindgut pH matter? Fermentation conditions influence the microbial environment +
When large amounts of rapidly fermentable carbohydrate reach the hindgut, fermentation can increase acid production and lower pH. That change in environment can favor some microbial populations over others.
EquiNectar's approach is to intervene earlier by helping digest more of the relevant carbohydrate upstream, reducing the amount available for rapid fermentation later.
How can enzymes influence the microbiome? By changing what the existing bacteria are being fed +
Gut bacteria respond to the nutrients and substrates available to them. If that supply changes, the microbial ecosystem can change with it.
EquiNectar therefore takes a substrate-driven approach. It does not attempt to populate the hindgut with added bacteria. Instead, its digestive enzymes change what arrives there and allow the horse's existing microbiome to respond to a different nutritional environment.
Where does colic prevention fit? Digestive stability matters because colic has multiple gut-related risk pathways +
Colic is not one single digestive event and there are many possible causes. What EquiNectar can influence are important nutritional and fermentation pathways within the digestive system.
By supporting more effective upstream digestion, a healthier hindgut environment and improved microbial balance, EquiNectar can form part of a daily colic prevention strategy alongside appropriate forage, hydration, dental care, movement and good feeding management.
What does this have to do with performance? Every working horse depends on digestion before performance can happen +
Performance depends on the horse being able to use the diet it is given. Digestion, nutrient availability, body condition and digestive comfort all sit upstream of the work itself.
EquiNectar therefore supports performance from the digestive foundation rather than acting as a stimulant or short-term performance enhancer.

involving 45 horses and ponies.
Horses remained on
spring pasture, creating a

The findings support the principle that changing
digestion upstream can alter the
hindgut metabolic environment.
This study should not be described as showing that
“78.7% of horses improved.” That figure relates to
metabolomic classification, not the proportion of horses
showing a clinical improvement.
Why the combination matters
Different horses. Different settings. A consistent digestive story.
No single study answers every question. What strengthens the EquiNectar evidence base is that research across different settings repeatedly points toward the same underlying theme: changing upstream digestion changes the environment downstream.

What are you noticing?
Most owners do not start with a microbiome measurement. They start with something they can see or feel: a change in manure, condition, behavior, performance or digestive consistency.
Everyday observations matter
Digestive health can show up in more than one way.
The digestive system sits at the center of how the horse uses its diet. Changes in digestion can therefore be reflected in manure, condition, comfort, demeanor and consistency in work. EquiNectar is designed to support that digestive foundation every day.
A useful starting point
Look for patterns, not one isolated moment.
Think about what has changed, when it happens and whether it appears alongside changes in feed, grass, workload, travel or routine.

Loose or inconsistent manure?
Explore this pattern +
Manure is one of the most visible windows into the digestive system. Changes in consistency can accompany shifts in diet, pasture, fermentation and the hindgut environment.
EquiNectar supports digestion earlier in the digestive tract, helping change what is available for fermentation further downstream.

Demeanor
Spooky, reactive or unusually unsettled?

Practical questions
The essentials. Answered quickly.
Everything most owners need to know before starting EquiNectar, without making you read another textbook.
What exactly is EquiNectar?
EquiNectar is a daily equine digestive supplement built around Enzyme Rich Malt Extract from malted barley. It provides multiple naturally occurring digestive enzyme activities that help support digestion earlier in the digestive process.
Is EquiNectar a probiotic?
No. EquiNectar does not work by adding live bacteria to the horse's gut. Its enzymes act upstream, changing how the diet is broken down and therefore changing the nutritional environment reaching the horse's existing hindgut microbiome.
How much should I feed?
The ongoing amount depends on your horse's body weight and activity level. Standard US daily totals range from 5 to 12 fl oz.
Use the feeding finder ↑How often should EquiNectar be fed?
The standard US feeding routine is twice daily, with the appropriate daily amount divided between two feeds.
Should EquiNectar be used continuously?
EquiNectar is designed as an ongoing daily digestive foundation. Its role is to support digestion and the hindgut environment as part of the horse's normal feeding routine rather than only during short periods of concern.
How long can an opened container be used?
We recommend using EquiNectar within 8-10 weeks of opening. If you buy a multipack, open one 1-gallon container at a time and keep the remaining containers sealed until needed.
