Ways to improve my horses immune system?

[xxxkristinaxxx]

What can I give to my mare to help with her immune system and to help fight off infections, bites etc.
I am looking for something relatively cheap.
Would NAF's pink powder be any good?

Any good general purpose supplement or feed balancer should do the trick.

I've heard good things about NAF pink powder. :)

Pink Powder is a balancer containing yeast and pro-biotics, so it's great for re-balancing the digestive system and ensuring that your horse gets the right nutrients out of their feed. As far as I know, it's not an immune system enhancer :confused:

Echinacea, Cider Vingear, Garlic, Nettle, Rosehips and Devils Claw are the most common things used to give the immune system a boost, but you would need to have a look into the properties of each. Echinacea is typically used to improve immunity to infections, for example.

Ditto all, especially the Echinacea recommendation.

Apple Cider Vinegar is brilliant stuff, fed with garlic really helps with the flies and has lots of other benefits too. (google it and see)

I heard Seaweed as well
