SKU - HYGAINSAFEEQ

The same trusted and proven formula of our toxin binder for horses but in a great new look!

HYGAIN® SAFEGUARD EQ® is a pelleted broad-spectrum mycotoxin binder formulated for all equines, which may assist in the quick and effective absorption of mycotoxins, minimizing associated negative health and performance problems.

Due to the difficulty to predict the occurrence of mycotoxins in your horse’s diet, it is advised to add a broad-spectrum mycotoxin binder to your horse’s diet, which simply binds the mycotoxins and passes them through the digestive tract, exiting with the manure.

Ingredients:

Wheat bran, wheat germ, organic mineral compounds, and yeast extracts. 

Mycotoxins:

Certain fungi found on fresh pasture grasses, conserved roughage (hay, chaff, straw), and grains can produce secondary compounds called mycotoxins. Several types of mycotoxins exist that may interact, especially under favorable environmental conditions, such as in warm and humid climates (as well as in improperly stored feeds). Mycotoxins may contaminate feeds or grains and are hard to detect due to their odorless, tasteless, and invisible presence.

The horse’s digestive system is sensitive to the effects of mycotoxins, as the gastric juices in the stomach cannot effectively deactivate the mycotoxins and these, therefore, enter the sensitive small intestine and hindgut. Once mycotoxins reach the hindgut they may affect the intestinal wall or enter the horse’s bloodstream, which can result in respiratory, gastrointestinal, neurological, and reproductive issues.

This is why a toxin binder for horses is crucial to their diet.

Even though symptoms are usually non-specific, associated clinical signs with the existence of mycotoxins in a horse’s diet include:

  • Poor condition (weight loss)
  • Reduced performance
  • Lethargy
  • Depression
  • Suppressed appetite
  • Lameness
  • Respiratory diseases
  • Gastrointestinal diseases (e.g. colic)
  • Reproductive failures
  • Neurological disorders (e.g. neurotoxicity, Fatal leucoencephalomalacia, ataxia)
  • Immunosuppression
  • Atypical myopathy (muscle disease)
Feeding Rates

HYGAIN SAFEGUARD EQ can be added directly to your horse’s feed.

HYGAIN SAFEGUARD EQ should be fed at a rate of 30g per day (one level scoop) based on a 500kg horse.

Once these items leave our store, we cannot guarantee the conditions they have been stored in — such as temperature, humidity, or exposure to the elements — which can affect their efficacy and safety. To ensure the health and wellbeing of your animals, we maintain a strict no-return policy on vet products for change of mind due to these uncontrollable factors.

This does not affect your rights in relation to vet products that are faulty, damaged, or not as described. If you have any concerns regarding a product's condition upon receipt, please contact us immediately on 07 5482 2320 or at returns@gympiesaddleworld.com.au before use.

We appreciate your understanding as we strive to provide the best service while managing shipping costs effectively.

2.4 Change of Mind Products cannot be returned, exchanged, or replaced simply because you have changed your mind. This does not affect your rights under the Australian Consumer Law.

2.5 Your Consumer Rights Our goods come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. You are entitled to a replacement or refund for a major failure, and to compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage. You are also entitled to have goods repaired or replaced if they fail to be of acceptable quality and the failure does not amount to a major failure. This policy operates alongside, and does not limit, those rights.

2.6 Faulty Goods Goods damaged in transit or due to faulty manufacture, subject to clause 13.6, should be returned to us for inspection. Please contact us first so we can arrange the return and cover the postage.

2.7 Replacement Timing In most cases, replacement goods will be sent once we have received and inspected the returned goods. Where the Australian Consumer Law entitles you to a remedy of your choosing (a major failure), we will act in accordance with your entitlements.

2.8 Faulty Goods Postage We will refund any reasonable postage costs incurred in returning faulty goods.

2.9 Faulty Goods Refund Subject to clause 13.6 and your rights under the Australian Consumer Law, if the goods supplied are faulty we will offer a repair, replacement, or refund as appropriate. For a major failure, you may choose between a refund and a replacement.

3.2 All exchanged items will be charged at our usual postage rate when returned to you.

3.3 For change-of-mind returns, we recommend using tracked postage, as we cannot accept responsibility for goods lost in return transit. This does not apply to returns of faulty goods arranged with us.

3.4 We do not offer refunds or exchanges for change of mind, including on sale items. Your rights under the Australian Consumer Law in relation to faulty goods apply to all items, including sale items.
