After years of sponsoring research into the causes and treatment of Equine Metabolic Syndrome in horses, Vet-A-Mix has developed a new equine supplement called Target IR. This supplement is formulated to meet the needs of horses on low carbohydrate grass hay diets. Studies indicate that nearly 20% of U.S. horses may be clinically obese. More than 30% of those evaluated were also found to have insulin resistance. Insulin resistance (IR) often found in obese horses as well as those diagnosed with Equine Cushing's and Peripheral Cushing's Disease is a highly significant risk factor in the development of laminitis. Target IR provides the clinically proven nutritional support grass hay fed horses need to help lose weight, control insulin resistance and help prevent laminitis.
