Respiratory problems and equine asthma in horses

Respiratory diseases in horses are the second most common reason for unrideability after lameness, are considered one of the main health challengesin horses. Studies show that one in four horses has respiratory problems and around 10% of horses suffer from chronic respiratory diseases.


Unlike in humans, coughing in horses is not an early warning sign, but a late symptom and requires immediate action to prevent it from becoming chronic. In order to identify the triggers and causes of coughs, allergies or equine asthma, it requires a thorough examination and diagnosis from a veterinarian.However, as an owner you can actively contribute to improving the situation for your coughing horse, for example by reducing dust from your horse's environment and feed, through adapted training or through inhalation.  


bitopEQUI® has developed unique solutions for coughing horses that use the natural and highly effective active ingredient bi-medEctoin® for the optimum care of your horse's airways. They moisturise, protect and support the regeneration of your horse's mucous membranes and support the removal of mucus. 

Recommendations for the prevention of chronic respiratory problems

Fresh air

Make sure your horse gets adequate exercise in the fresh air. Fresh, dust-free air is also important in the cold season, but draughts should be avoided.

Dust reduction

Ensure a low-dust environment and good, mould-free bedding and hay. Straw alternatives can significantly reduce the dust and ammonia load. Soaking or vapourising hay can also significantly reduce the dust and germ load.

through inhalation

Regular inhalation with natural, nourishing and moisturising through inhalation inhalation solutions can make the airways more resistant and protect them from environmental irritants. 

bi-medEctoin® in inhalation therapy

bi-medEctoin® is a natural stress protection molecule that has been successfully used in human medicine and cosmetic products for decades. bi-medEctoin® binds water molecules and thus forms a protective layer over cellular structures such as the mucous membranes or skin. This protects the mucous membrane from external irritants, intensively and sustainably moisturises it and promotes the regeneration of cell structures. The mucous membranes of the respiratory tract are optimally moisturised, can recover under protection and strengthen their resistance.


The efficacy of bi-medEctoin® has been proven in numerous clinical studies in the human field and can be used in a wide variety of application areas - for example for allergies and respiratory diseases, but also for skin diseases such as neurodermatitis or psoriasis.


The particular advantage: the mode of action is purely physical and extremely well tolerated. There are no known side effects or interactions with medication and no habituation effect.

Quality

bi-medEctoin® is 100% natural and certified according to:

The mode of action of bi-medEctoin®

bi-medEctoin® binds water molecules from the cell environment and forms the so-called Ectoin-Hydro-Complex, der sich , which covers the mucous membrane or skin with a protective layer and shields and protects it from external irritants (e.g. dust, allergens, pollen, etc.).. At the same time, the cell membrane is sustainably moisturised and given greater flexibility, which both stimulates natural resistance and promotes the regeneration of stressed cells.

Respiratory problems in horses - Good to Know

Up to 80% of sport horses suffer from respiratory problems caused, for example, by dusty stable air or mould in bedding and hay. The symptom of coughing is often not taken seriously,
even though there is an acute need for action. 
Chronic coughing is the second most common reason for unrideability after lameness. Consistent dust reduction, appropriate training and inhalation can alleviate or prevent a severe or chronic condition.
Dust in closed stables can increase the concentration of fine dust up to 50-fold and strain the horse's lungs. Especially in winter, when there is less ventilation, the exposure is high.

The most common causes of respiratory problems in horses

Dusty air

Dust in the air is one of the most common triggers of respiratory problems in horses. Particularly in enclosed stables or riding arenas, dust can irritate sensitive mucous membranes and lead to coughing and breathing difficulties in the long term.

Poor hay quality

Dust and mould spores in hay are invisible enemies of your horse's respiratory tract. The inhaled particles irritate the lungs and can lead to inflammation, allergic reactions or chronic respiratory diseases.

Heat and dryness

Heat and dry air put a strain on the respiratory system as they dry out the mucous membranes and weaken the natural defence mechanisms. This can lead to respiratory problems, especially in summer or in hot stables.

Infections

Horses can also suffer acute respiratory problems due to viral or bacterial infections. Medication is often used to alleviate the irritation and reduce inflammation. A protracted or untreated infection can quickly become a chronic condition.
