Mestkwaliteit 

De kwaliteit van de mest is een zeer goede graadmeter voor de (darm)gezondheid van je paard. Een gezond paard met een gezonde darmflora zal over het algemeen namelijk mooie mest produceren!


Gezonde mest kun je herkennen aan stevige, glanzende mestballen die enigszins uit elkaar vallen als ze op de grond belanden. Afhankelijk van de situatie en het rantsoen, is er enige variatie in (gezonde) mest. Normaal gesproken zou mest bruin van kleur moeten zijn, maar tijdens het weideseizoen kan het er wat meer (donker)groen uitzien en wat natter worden. Wanneer je meer stro of droog hooi voert, kan de kleur ook wat geelbruiner zijn en wat droger worden. Je zult dan ook meer vezels in de mestballen terugzien.  


Volwassen paarden (600 kg) produceren ongeveer 17,5 kg mest per dag. Als je paard ineens veel meer of minder mest dan normaal, kan dit onder andere komen door een plotselinge veranderingen in het rantsoen of stress. 

Pavo HealthBoost

De krachtige opkikker voor ieder paard

Pavo HealthBoost contains a wide range of vitamins, antioxidants and prebiotics, making it a real boost for your horse. The natural vitamin E, in combination with the natural CellProtect antioxidants, provide an even better availability of vitamin E and the neutralisation of the free radicals. Immunity is closely related to a proper functioning of the digestive system. Live yeast is often used as a prebiotic that contributes to a healthy micro flora in the guts.


However, research has shown that live yeast loses much of its effectiveness by the processing into a product. This is why Pavo adds ‘Diamond V’ prebiotics to its HealthBoost. Diamond V contains nutrients that are required by healthy gut bacteria, allowing them to thrive.


No iron is added, as years of monitoring of the iron levels in roughage have shown that iron is available abundantly. Pavo HealthBoost does not contain wheat, so this supplement is also ideal for horses that are sensitive to gluten.

Important characteristics

  • Powerful boost after sickness or a difficult period
  • Supports the immune system and the intestinal health
  • Contains vitamins, prebiotics and natural antioxidants

Application

  • For horses that have been sick or have a weakened condition
  • For horses that need support of their immune system
  • For listless horses that could do with a bit of extra energy

Feeding advice

  • Give Pavo HealthBoost as a treatment during two to three weeks after sickness, or for a longer period of time for horses that suffer from a weakened immunity.
  • Horse (approx. 600 kg): 250 grams per day
  • Pony (approx. 300 kg): 125 grams per day

Pavo FibreNuggets

Pavo FibreNuggets as an alternative to roughage

Sufficient, high-fibre and high-quality roughage is the staple for every horse’s diet, however, this is not always self-evident. In some cases, it might be necessary to supplement or even replace your hay or silage wholly or partially. For example, in case of a poor or mediocre quality of roughage, or horses that suffer from teeth problems and consequently have difficulty taking in roughage.


Pavo FibreNuggets can be used as a high-quality replacement of roughage. The large high-fibre pellets, made from 100% pasture grass from the Alpine foothills in Southern Germany, stimulate chewing and salivation in your horse. More chewing prevents boredom and saliva promotes a healthy digestion. The fragrant and tasty pasture grass consists of a variety of more than 60 different types of grasses and herbs. It is rich in fibres, natural vitamins and trace elements and completely free of molasses and cereals. Thanks to a controlled drying process, the FibreNuggets are of a very consistent quality without mould or dust. This also makes it the ideal replacement for horses that are sensitive to dust and/or mould.

Important characteristics

  • Top quality roughage replacement
  • Tasty mixture of Alpine grasses and herbs
  • Contains more than 60 different grasses and herbs
  • Free of molasses and cereals

Application

  • Suitable for all horses and ponies
  • Supplement or whole or partial replacement of roughage in case of poor or bad roughage quality
  • Senior horses or horses that have a problem with roughage intake due to teeth issues
  • For horses that are sensitive to dust/mould in roughage

Feeding advice

  • Pavo FibreNuggets can be fed dry, but for optimum safety we recommend soaking the pellets with sufficient water, in a ratio 1:2 (FibreNuggets : water). Soak the product for 30 minutes in hot water or 1 hour in cold water.
  • Feed maximum 0.5 - 1 kg per 100 kg body weight per day.

1 full Pavo feed scoop FibreNuggets contains approximately 0.860 kg.

Pavo Mobility

Pavo FibreNuggets as an alternative to roughage

Optimum movement requires healthy joints. The right nutrients can have a positive effect on the condition of the cartilage, synovial fluid and the joint capsule and ligaments that keep the joint together.


Supple joints with Pavo Mobility

Pavo Mobility contains glucosamine and hyaluronic acid that are components for healthy synovial fluid. Chondroitin and MSM (sulphur) have a positive effect on the cartilage. On the cartilage yet these substances alone are not enough to support healthy joints in horses. The most important component is the special collagen in Pavo Mobility that supports the collagen, bone and cartilage. Pavo Mobility also contains vitamin C and the micro-mineral silicon that plays a role in the development of bone tissue, cartilage, collagen and hyaluronic acid. Pavo Mobility does not contain wheat, so it is gluten-free.

Important characteristics

  • For supple joints
  • Optimum nutrients for cartilage and joints
  • Supports the creation of synovial fluid
  • With collagen, glucosamine, chondroitin, hyaluronic acid, MSM and silicon

Application

  • For horses that need support for their joints
  • For competition horses
  • For young horses that have just started their training
  • For older horses

Feeding advice

Pavo Mobility can be administered as a preventative to competition horses when the joints are under a lot of strain. Additionally, Pavo Mobility can be given after an injury, if your horse had joint problems or upon indication of a veterinarian that your horse could benefit from it during a period of two to three months. Senior horses as well as horses with arthrosis may benefit from Pavo Mobility.
