“I've relied on nutrition as an important tool for quite a while. We're seeing benefits — whether that be sperm motility, mares breeding back easier, or getting bred and not having a lot of fluid post breeding.”
— Charlie Scoggin, DVM, MS, DACT, Rood & Riddle Equine Hospital

This veterinary-developed formula provides omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants, vitamins and trace minerals for total body health, along with Bio-Sponge®, prebiotics, probiotics and glutamine for advanced digestive support.

A Potent Antioxidant and Omega-3 Formula for Breeding Stallions

Platinum Potency® is designed for breeding stallions that have a less than desired viable sperm count, or less than normal motility. This antioxidant and omega-3 fatty acid formula contains a powerful blend of fat and water-soluble antioxidants, and DHA, to help protect sperm from the damaging effects of free radicals.

Supports Healthy Sperm Motility in Breeding Stallions

Platinum Motility Plus® is used to help support sperm motility. This formula contains Acetyl L-Carnitine, which has been shown to stimulate beta lipid oxidation in the mitochondria of the sperm. This increased energy production can help support healthy sperm motility in some stallions with low motility.

Price starting at $180.00
A Healthy Source of Omega-3 Fatty Acids

Rich in omega-3 fatty acids, Healthy Weight supports skin, coat, gastric and muscle health. For horses that need to gain weight, Healthy Weight provides calories in addition to forage. It is made from flax oil, a rich source of omega-3 fatty acids, which makes it a healthy alternative to corn oil. The 1-gallon Healthy Weight now comes in an easy tip-to-measure container made from a material that protects the formula from degradation due to UV light. Administration of the 5-gallon Healthy Weight oil is easier with the Healthy Weight Pump, sold separately.

How to Support Reproductive Success in Aged Mares

Nutrient Highlight: Omega-3 Fatty Acids

Omega-3 fatty acids play a significant role in equine nutrition due to their part in multiple applications including support for bone growth, reproduction and fertility.

  • Foals: For growing babies, omega-3 fatty acids are important to support normal bone mineral development.
  • Broodmares: Omega-3 fatty acids are important for pregnant mares to support uterine health, colostrum quality and maintain passive transfer of antibodies to foals.
  • Stallions: The quality of a stallion's semen plays a major role in fertility and depends on the dietary intake and incorporation of omega-3 fatty acids, particularly DHA, into the sperm plasma membrane as semen consists of significant amounts of fatty acids.
