The following is a list of things we find the yeast culture helps to improve. Some of the items listed below are testimonials from horse owners and veterinarians using our Equion horse supplement , others are documented.

• An improved hair coat in 7 to 10 days, depending upon the overall condition of the horse. In winter, the hair is short but will be very thick. Many horse coats will "dapple" .
• Hoofs show a better texture along with improved growth. (They trim more often)
• Increase in red blood count. For Documentation, click here
• Stimulation of appetite for picky eaters. (Racetrack)
• Increased stamina. (Racetrack, endurance riders)
• Trainers say the horse is more "attentive" in a training session.
• A reduction of crude fiber in the fecal matter.
• Mares cycle earlier in the spring and usually conceive on the first standing. (Veterinarians)
• Mares that have not been bred in 2 or 3 years will "take" on the first service providing there are no uterine problems. (Veterinarians)
• Mares uterus seem to have a better "tone". (Veterinarians)
• Ease of birth and the mares "clean out". (Veterinarians)
• Substantial increase in the quantity of mares milk. (Veterinarians)
• An increase in stallion sperm motility and mobility. No increase in sperm count. (Veterinarians)
• Foals appear to have better bone development. (Veterinarians and trainers)

Yeast Cultures
CENTURY HILL INDUSTRIES' YEAST CULTURE starts with Saccharomyces Cerevisiae. We use this yeast because strains of Saccharomyces Cerevisiae are facultative (aerobes/anaerobes) a property not shared by many other yeasts and it has a high vitamin and enzyme content. After the yeast culture process is completed and when it is fed to the animal, the yeast culture releases its valuable nutrients, enzymes and biologically active micro-nutrients within the digestive tract, of both ruminant and non-ruminant, and is contributing enzymatically to the animal. Yeast culture synthesizes many proteins and secretes all essential amino acids. (Kelly, 1985; Smith et al, 1985). Yeast is protected by a substantial cell wall thickness that may constitute as much as 30% of the weight of the yeast. The yeast contains approximately 50% protein, 40% carbohydrate, 2% fat and 8% ash. Providing we can open the cell wall, the yeast has a high digestibility and biological value. (Murlinet al, 1944) The yeast contains more than ten water soluble vitamins including para amino benzoic acid which is a growth factor for bacteria. Miscellaneous unidentified compounds of the B vitamin complex, essential for bacterial growth, have been isolated in yeast. These compounds are of little use or value if the yeast cell cannot be "lysed" (broken open). When the yeast cell is lysed and then cultured on the media, the media then contains many active enzymes and growth factors for other bacterial growth. Trace elements, vitamins and minerals also play a part in this process. Yeast has a requirement for several metal ions. When culturing the yeast, we enrich the yeast with a range of vitamins and minerals. EQUION® is a registered trademark of Century Hill Industries Inc. Roseville, California 95678 (800) 786-3208

The Secret?
EQUION® is a unique blend of yeast, vitamins and minerals that are cultured in a stable medium and then dried on wheat bran. The special yeast culture used in EQUION® is manufactured by Century Hill Industries Inc., and is the primary ingredient, which makes EQUION® a superior product for horses. This special supplement is then blended with dehydrated alfalfa (contains no rice hulls or corn cobs) to give you the very best product available today for equine supplement requirements. EQUION® has been developed by Century Hill Industries and researched by Dr. Robert McCullough DVM, founder of McCullough Cartwright Pharmaceutical Corporation. Dr. McCullough's work and other testing has resulted in the many positive results listed below. For complete results of this research, please click on the RBC Research Documentation link in the box in the right-hand column of this page. When used as directed, performance results are usually observed within 5 to 10 days, unlike most products, which may take, a month or two before horse performance shows some change.

• Improved hair coat in 7 to 10 days depending on the overall condition of the horse.
• Increased appetite, feed efficiency and weight gain if desired. Increased and prolonged stamina/performance.
• Increased hoof growth.
• Lowered undigested crude fiber in the manure.
• Marked decrease in "belly" size.
• Brood mares show a reduction in "retained placenta problems".
• Increased colostrum milk production.
• "Aerobic Metabolism" as related to muscle metabolism is improved, which gives prolonged exercise. This is due to extra oxygen being delivered to metabolize glycogen, glucose and free fatty acids completely into CO2 and water.
• Horses just "Look better and appear to be better fit".

Based on numerous years of development and testing, we usually see an increase of +13 to 14% HEMOGLOBIN LEVELS and+ 17 to 18% RED BLOOD CELL COUNTS RBC Research Documentation EQUION®’S yeast culture feeds the beneficial bacteria in the intestinal tract and increases the horses ability to absorb and assimilate important nutrients, vitamins, minerals and energy sources, all of which give you better performance and return for your money spent.
