754717
Zylkene Equine is a scientifically formulated calming supplement specifically designed to help manage stress and anxiety in horses. Utilising a natural milk-derived protein, Zylkene supports relaxation in horses facing challenging or stressful situations. Common scenarios include transportation, vet visits, competitions, training sessions, and changes in their environment. The supplement's gentle action promotes a calming effect without causing sedation or affecting performance negatively.
Horses, despite their size and strength, are sensitive animals prone to stress and anxiety when experiencing unfamiliar environments or circumstances. Signs of stress in horses may include pacing, pawing, sweating, behavioural changes, agitation, refusal to eat, or diminished performance. Prolonged stress or anxiety can also lead to further health complications, highlighting the importance of effective stress management strategies.
Zylkene Equine is developed from a unique ingredient known as alpha-casozepine. Alpha-casozepine is a naturally occurring peptide extracted from bovine milk that has demonstrated calming properties. Its effectiveness is backed by extensive scientific research, which shows that this peptide works by mimicking the action of calming substances naturally produced in the horse's body. Alpha-casozepine interacts positively with receptors in the brain associated with stress and anxiety responses, thus helping the horse to feel calmer and more at ease.
Unlike many traditional calming supplements or sedatives, Zylkene does not cause drowsiness or impair a horse's ability to perform normal activities. Horses receiving Zylkene remain alert, responsive, and fully capable of participating in training, competitions, or routine activities. Instead, the supplement facilitates a balanced and relaxed mental state, enabling the horse to better cope with stressful situations. By using Zylkene, horse owners and trainers can manage behavioural issues arising from stress without compromising the horse’s natural abilities or safety.

More Information
Description
The use of Zylkene is straightforward and convenient. Available in an easy-to-administer powder form, it can simply be mixed into the horse’s feed once daily. Its neutral taste ensures horses readily accept it without affecting their appetite. To achieve the best results, it is recommended to begin administration of Zylkene several days before a known stressful event. For ongoing stress management, continuous daily use may be advised by veterinary professionals, depending on individual horse needs.
Zylkene Equine is particularly beneficial during periods that involve significant routine changes or environmental disturbances. For example, travelling to new locations, stabling away from home, or encountering unfamiliar sights and sounds during events can all trigger anxiety responses in horses. Similarly, veterinary visits and procedures, such as dental treatments or routine healthcare checks, often cause heightened stress. Administering Zylkene Equine before these events helps horses adjust more easily, reducing the likelihood of behavioural issues and facilitating smoother handling.
Additionally, Zylkene is advantageous during periods of training or behavioural modification. Horses under training can become stressed or anxious, potentially hindering their ability to learn and respond to training positively. Regular administration of Zylkene can create a calmer, more focused mental state, enhancing the horse’s receptivity to training and encouraging more consistent and positive behaviours. Trainers frequently notice improved attention and responsiveness in horses given Zylkene regularly during training programmes.
Zylkene Equine also provides effective support for horses dealing with long-term changes or prolonged stress factors, such as stable confinement due to injury or illness. Restricted movement and isolation can be highly stressful for horses, sometimes leading to behavioural disturbances or further health issues. Supplementation with Zylkene can significantly reduce the emotional strain during recovery periods, promoting a more relaxed attitude and encouraging improved overall wellbeing.
Safety is a crucial consideration when choosing supplements for horses. Zylkene Equine has been extensively researched and tested for safety, with no known adverse effects when administered as recommended. The supplement does not contain prohibited substances and can therefore be used confidently during competitions and events governed by standard equine sport regulations.
Horse owners, veterinarians, and trainers consistently recognise Zylkene Equine’s value as part of a comprehensive approach to equine stress management. While addressing underlying causes of stress through training, stable management, and environmental enrichment remains essential, Zylkene Equine provides practical and effective support in achieving behavioural balance and emotional comfort.
The ability to manage stress effectively not only enhances horse welfare but also improves overall performance, safety, and ease of handling. Incorporating Zylkene into a daily routine is a proactive step towards ensuring that horses remain calm, responsive, and comfortable, even in the most challenging of circumstances.
