Description
DSLD In Horses — Understanding, Managing & Supporting The Horse
DSLD — Degenerative Suspensory Ligament Desmitis — is a progressive condition that every horse owner should understand, particularly because the early signs can easily be mistaken for an ordinary suspensory injury, stiffness or age-related changes.
In this comprehensive AHFS educational eBook, we take DSLD apart step by step in easy-to-understand language.
We look at what DSLD actually is, what may be happening inside the suspensory ligaments and connective tissue, the signs owners should watch for, current research into genetics, how DSLD is diagnosed, and what long-term management may involve.
We then go much deeper into nutrition and supportive care, including:
• Collagen Types I, II & III and the differences between them
• Rosehips and Vitamin C
• Turmeric & Black Pepper
• Boswellia
• Nettle Leaf
• Milk Thistle
• Dandelion
• Protein & amino acids
• Copper, Zinc, Manganese & Magnesium
• Joint and connective-tissue nutritional support
• Comfort and healthy inflammatory-response support
• Individual AHFS herbs and nutritional ingredients
• AHFS premixed support products
• DIY supplement options
• Hoof balance, body weight, roughage, exercise and overall management
We also explain which AHFS products may be considered for different types of support and WHY, rather than simply telling you to buy another bucket.
Most importantly, this eBook is honest about where the science stops.
There is currently no scientifically proven supplement or herb that cures or reverses DSLD. The purpose of nutrition is to support the horse as part of a much bigger management programme alongside veterinary and farrier care.
The eBook concludes with a scientific reference section, allowing readers to see the published research behind the information discussed.
Written specifically with the South African horse owner in mind.
