CONSULTATIONS

Consultations

If you'd like a consultation with our biochemist about your horse, all we ask is that you fill out, and return, our Equine Case History Questionnaire. You can provide any test results you may have regarding: water quality, veterinary diagnosis and/or laboratory tests, etc.

HAIR ANALYSIS

Hair Analysis & Systemic Element Levels Testing

Our biochemist has chosen Doctors Data, Inc. to provide our customers with hair elements analysis. With a solid reputation, they have been our laboratory of choice since 1979. Doctors Data has recently described this particular test as:

• A measurement of toxic and essential elements

• Inexpensive and noninvasive

Extensive research has established that scalp hair element levels are related to human systemic levels. The strength of this relationship varies for specific elements, and many researchers consider hair as the tissue of choice for toxic and several nutrient elements. Unlike blood, hair element levels are not regulated by homeostatic mechanisms. Thus, deviations in hair element levels often appear prior to overt symptoms, and hair analysis can thereby be a valuable preliminary tool for predicting the development of physiological abnormalities.

Instructions:
The volume of, at least, one packed tablespoon of hair is required to complete analysis. Hair samples taken from the chest of animals and back of the head on humans are preferable.

Send your sample and contact information via USPS to our headquaters, and we'll send it to our lab at a bundled rate to briing you the best possible price on the highest quality analysis.

OUR APPROACH

Only Pure Nutrients to Maintain and Improve Health on a Biochemical Level

Vita Royal Products Inc. was established in 1977 in response to the recycled contaminants in food act that was passed in the same year. This act allowed, and continues to allow, the recycling of heavy metals and hazardous chemical waste into fertilizers that supply nutrients for the crops that feed our animals and, in some cases, people as well. These toxins are absorbed into the crops and thus deposited into the animals who eat the processed version(s) of these crops.

Our goal has always been to provide a healthier option for these animals, be they performance horses, pets, cows or chickens for slaughter.

Why Our Products Are Superior to the Competition

• We use only pharmaceutical grade ingredients (USP), which are the absolute highest quality ingredients available in the world.

• We do not make any products which contain fillers, so a little goes a long way.

• All of our products are formulated so that the bioavailability of each ingredient is maximized.

• Most importantly, our products work to restore normal, healthy biochemistry; from performance horses to seemingly hopeless and dire cases.

In horses, worm eggs that are ingested from pastures hatch quickly and perforate the intestinal lining. They then begin a long-term migration through body tissues and organs, where they do their greatest damage. This migration can take 10 to 12 months as they grow and develop. They can migrate anywhere, even through the brain, heart, lungs, etc. Close to maturity, these worms migrate toward the intestine again, with many reentering through the mesenteric artery, which feeds the intestine. This perforation can cause clots and blood flow blockage, resulting in colic and gastrointestinal distress.

Larvae then finish their maturation in the intestine for another 18 to 30 days, and begin laying eggs on their own, thus perpetuating the cycle. Worms are generally only susceptible to worming agents when they are in the intestine, only after doing their damage during migration. They continually enter the intestine from body tissues, so worming for one day is only effective that day. By the next day, another batch will have entered, after the worming drug has passed through the gut and been eliminated.

Wormers are "pass through" kill. Fortunately, the larvae maturation period serves as a treatment window, since they will not be ready to lay eggs for another several weeks to a month. This is why we can come back in a month with another dose of wormer.

With the following wormer rotation program, the best use of chemical classes is used to kill off intestinal worms at the optimum time. Worm every 30 days. It's easy to remember if you think of worming with paying bills on the first of each month. Mark your calendar!

1.) A triple dose by the horse's weight of Pyrantel Pamoate known as Strongid® Paste - NOT Strongid C (another formula). This will get tape worms that are not targeted by any other wormer.

2.) Anthelcide EQ® at 1 1/2 to 2 times dose per weight (per package instructions to kill Strongiloides species).

3.) Ivermectin as either Zimectrin® or Eqvalaan® (same drug, same dose). REPEAT CYCLE, alternating Quest® for Ivermectin.

Continue to REPEAT CYCLE, alternating Ivermectin and Quest® for Step 3.

NOTE:
If horses are maintained in a relatively clean environment, manure picked up or plowed under, pastures rotated, not overgrazed or overcrowded etc, then the worming recommendations can be extended to two months between wormings, but the rotation schedule and doses will still be the same.
