answers questions about Total* Equine: |

What are
Probiotics?
Probiotics are live bacteria that every digestive
system needs to function effectively. They are is the same bacteria that is in
yogurt. When a horse is given antibiotics and to some extent paste wormers,
this not only kills the bad bacteria, but also destroys good bacteria. That is
why animals often go off of their feed when they are being doctored with
antibiotics. Total* has enough Probiotics to add almost one and a half BILLION
units per day. This is why when fed daily,
Total* will increase feed efficiency
to the point that feed intake can be cut back ... which saves
money.

What is the difference
between worming and using Total* Equine as a wormer?
Total* Equine Supplement’s base
comes from a mine in Nevada
which was chosen as the foundation in the Total* formula when
it was developed by a nutritionist at Utah State
University because of its rich mineral content.
It was only later that we learned about the effects of this rich
mineral content product on parasites.
Scientific research suggests that the texture is sharp to
parasites and as they pass across it they are cut and die. The advantage
of this process is that it is mechanical rather
than poisonous,
such as paste wormers to which horses can build up immunity.

What is the difference
between other supplements out there on the market like Vita-Plus,
etc, and Total*?
Every supplement is different. You should carefully read labels to
determine what will work best. The first ingredient on the label is
the largest ingredient. If it is a filler such as wheat by-products,
soy-something or other, or, my favorite "dried alfalfa meal" (a bale
of hay), you know you are paying a lot of money for not much good!
Big fancy words are often used for ingredients to hide their identity.
Other important ingredients to look for are
Probiotics
and the amount of vitamin E...these are the two most expensive ingredients
in the whole formula. Also check for all other vitamins, minerals,
and very importantly amino acids. Total* has all of these, which is
why our product is named "Total".

Will Total* Equine make my horse
hyperactive?
No, Total* Equine contains no sugar or
other stimulants which will make your horse "hot". It will
actually calm a horse down due to the vitamin B's which are
natural calmers The performance may be enhanced due to the
increased manageability.

Will your product improve the condition of
my horse's hooves?
You will see a marked difference in hoof
health. With Total*, bones become stronger, joints more flexible, and hooves
are hard.

Does Total* make a noticeable difference in
a horse's coat?
Do you want the sheen of a new spring coat year
round? Total* Equine gives you the golden-silver natural colors of an
eye-catching coat that you only get on the healthiest of horses. That, with the
spring in your horse's step, sets our product apart from all the others. You'll

Will Total*
help with foal scours?
Yes Total* will help with scours, you will
see little to no scouring during the foal heat. Scours
is due to the worms passing thru the mothers milk to the foal,
if the mare has been on Total*, there are no worms to pass to
the foal, thus no messy, sore hinny.

for them?
Want your stallion to cover more mares? Want to solve

motility even when shipping long distances. You will be amazed -- and so will

My horse tends to get colic. Is there
anything in your product that will help with that?
Probiotics is
the secret that the horse world is discovering. Horse owners who use
Total*
Equine see a dramatic decline in the incidence of colic. Total* is the only
formula on the market with the right type and combination of probiotics.

Is Total* a good supplement for
broodmares?
Several years ago, I determined that
Total*
helped prevent heat (foal) scours, but I didn't know if it was through the mare or just how it
happened. This year I fed the mares in one barn in a little bucket tied on the
gate so that the baby couldn't get any of the Total*; I fed all the rest of the
mares on the ground where the baby could steal a little. Sure enough, the
babies that didn't get the Total* got the scours while the others didn't...so
now I know. Let the babies have their Total*. The babies that got their
Total*
also filled out more quickly and looked better.
