When to Dose
A horse’s liver performs more physiological functions than any other organ in their body, so it’s important to support normal, healthy liver and immune system function in horses of all ages. This remedy takes approximately 3 weeks to take effect.
How To Dose
Use our handy pump bottle to dose directly into the mouth, add remedy to feed or a treat or dose via the water trough. If dosing a lactating mare, use this remedy in bursts of 3 days on, 3 days off, so that it doesn’t boost milk and cause engorging. If your mare isn’t lactating, then this remedy can be used continuously, long term.
90ml Pump Bottle
Dose 2 pumps directly into the mouth, onto feed or a treat twice daily. Continue for 6-8 weeks, then switch to a once a week maintenance dose long term.
90 ml Pump Bottle = 230 doses (2 pumps per dose)
Bottles are made from food grade aluminium with a hygienic serum pump lid and over cap.
Jerry Cans
Water Trough Dosing – add 25mls – one capful or one pump - into the water trough every second day. Dose volume is calculated for a 500-litre water trough.
Feed Dosing – add ½ capful (12ml) or ½ pump - on to feed twice daily.
Daily for 6-8 weeks is usual, reducing to a maintenance dose of one dose a week long term.
1 litre = 80 days continuous cover via water troughs (dosing every second day) or 40 days dosing on feed (twice daily).
Our robust jerry cans are made from food grade plastic.

FAQ
All your questions, answered.
The thermoneutral zone is the temperature range where the body can maintain its core temperature with little to no extra energy expenditure. For humans, this range is quite narrow at 21–28 °C, but for horses it’s much broader at 5–25 °C.
This difference means we should avoid rugging horses based on how cold we feel. Over-rugging can lead to serious health issues, including metabolic problems and thermoregulatory dysfunction.
Tips for Choosing a Winter Rug Weight
-
Clipped horses may need a heavier gram fill to stay comfortable.
-
Remember: horses warm themselves more easily than they cool down under a rug. If unsure, choose a lighter rug.
-
Check your horse regularly to make sure they are neither too hot nor too cold.
-
Consider your horse’s age and natural ability to stay warm.
-
As a general guide, rugging is usually appropriate when temperatures drop below 5–10 °C, but always adjust for your horse’s individual needs.
-
Always ensure rugs are waterproof. A wet rug is worse than no rug at all.
This is an indicative guide only. Always take into account factors such as wind chill, your horse’s age, weight, and condition.
