Simple ingredients such as Garlic, have been used for centuries as a natural insect repellent. When the horse sweats, the garlic puts out an aroma that bugs hate. The odor actually stems from the sulfur in the garlic clove. It has the added benefit that is a natural anti-microbial, and may even help in reducing internal parasites.
More often than not, our horse will still get bitten by a bug regardless of how much spray we use on him. When a horse gets a bug bite, we have all seen how itchy and irritated their skin can become. That is why a natural anti-inflammatory is important. Turmeric’s main active ingredient is curcumin, which has powerful anti-inflammatory effects. The anti-inflammatory properties in turmeric ease the irritation and response.
Also, protecting the skin is the ingredient, grape seed extract. Like it sounds, this comes from the seeds of grapes. The seeds pack a punch full of antioxidants including resveratrol. These antioxidants boost the immune system; protect tissue from free radical damage, and helps increase blood flow. Thus, supporting a healthy skin and coat. Finally, adding another powerful punch to coat protection, soybean oil is a good source of omega-6 essential fatty acids which help improve coat shine and skin condition.
Nature’s Force Bug Clear is a natural option for a feed through supplement. There are other options in the market that are not natural. At the end of the day, it is up to the horse owner to choose what is best for their horse and lifestyle. But, when choosing a feed-through, do your research on safety and be informed. For those who want to avoid using conventional pesticides, Nature’s Force Bug Clear is a fantastic option. An alternative to a natural feed-through would be a chemical feed through which works in a different way. Chemical feed-throughs actually include chemicals such as Diflubenzuron and cyromazine. These products work differently than natural ingredients, as they don’t repel insects or promote healthy skin, it actually acts to interfere with the formation of the insect’s cuticle or shell. These products work to stop the development of larvae in the horse’s manure after the chemical has passed through your horse’s digestive system.
Nature Clear
Is a bit scary to think about feeding your horse a chemical that is normally used topically or as a premise spray? A horse’s digestive system is very sensitive even to a minor change in grain or hay, let alone a chemical. Did you know that only stable flies lay their eggs in manure? Thus, these will be the only flies affected by the chemical in the feces. All other insects including midges, deer flies, mosquitoes and horn flies etc. won’t be affected by the chemical feed through, since they don't lay eggs in manure.
Another concern with chemical feed-throughs is if you are at a boarding facility or stable where other horses are not on the insecticide feed through. It is a moot point to feed your horse this to keep the larvae out of his manure as the other horse’s manure will be breeding grounds for larvae. Meanwhile, with the natural feed through, you still get the skin, repellency and anti-inflammatory benefits from the feed through.
