SPILLERS Ventil-Ate 3kg – Respiratory Supplement for Natural Lung Defences

Spillers Ventil-Ate – 3kg Respiratory Supplement

Spillers describe Ventil-Ate as a scientifically proven formula to reinforce natural lung defences, and the active list explains how it is meant to work: 5g of vitamin C per 100g as sodium calcium ascorbyl monophosphate, 2,500 IU of vitamin E, 1mg of selenium and 100mg of folic acid, backed by dried spinach at 15g and dried broccoli at 12.4g per 100g.

A stabled horse breathes dust and mould spores all winter, and antioxidants are part of how the body copes with that. The pack is sized to the dose rather than the shelf: 3kg is thirty days for a horse over 450kg at 100g a day, or sixty days for a pony under 450kg at 50g.

Performance & Benefits

• Vitamin C at 5g per 100g, as sodium calcium ascorbyl monophosphate.
• Vitamin E at 2,500 IU and selenium at 1mg per 100g.
• Folic acid at 100mg per 100g.
• Dried spinach 15g and dried broccoli 12.4g per 100g — whole-food antioxidant sources.
• Garlic 1.5g, rosemary 1g and nutmeg 0.5g per 100g.
• Yeast products at 6g per 100g.
• Pelleted and measured with a 50g scoop, so the dose is easy to get right.

Suitable For

• Stabled horses exposed to dust and mould spores.
• Horses that travel frequently.
• Horses sensitive to pollen through the summer.
• Competition and performance horses needing optimum lung function.
• Not a substitute for dust management — soaking or steaming hay and changing to a low-dust bedding does more than any supplement.

Feeding

• Horses over 450kg: 100g a day, which is 2 scoops.
• Ponies and horses up to 450kg: 50g a day, which is 1 scoop.
• The 3kg pack is 30 days' supply for a horse at 100g a day, and 60 days for a pony at 50g.
• Introduce gradually and feed consistently.
• Clean, fresh water at all times.

• Spillers publish no protein, oil, fibre, starch or sugar analysis for Ventil-Ate, so none is stated here.
• Claims that the pack was renamed from Winergy Ventil-Ate with extra days' supply added appear on some retail listings; Spillers publish nothing to that effect, so it is not repeated here.

Care & Caution

• A supplement supports normal respiratory function. It does not treat, cure or prevent respiratory disease.
• Persistent coughing, nasal discharge or increased breathing effort needs veterinary investigation — equine asthma is a diagnosis, not a supplement problem.
• Garlic is included. Check the rules of your discipline if you compete under substance-controlled conditions.
