Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis
A hair tissue mineral analysis is an accurate and comprehensive lab test that uses atomic absorption methods to identify your horse’s mineral and nutritional imbalances. Each hair analysis tests the values of over 30 minerals and elements, 8 toxic heavy metals and 15 mineral ratios. A hair analysis is also an accepted method to determine the level of several toxic heavy metals such as lead, mercury, aluminum and arsenic. Toxic heavy metals are very destructive and routine blood tests cannot detect chronic heavy-metal poisoning.
A hair analysis can also reveal a variety of health conditions including adrenal dysfunction, thyroid and pituitary dysfunction, liver and kidney health, certain digestive issues, blood sugar imbalances, metabolism, anemia and inflammation.
Parasites
Horse owners typically have a lot of questions about the best worming protocol to use for their horse and whether their current programs are working. Do I need to de-worm? What de-wormers should I use? Are my natural de-wormers doing the job? How often should I deworm? Does my horse have encysted parasites?
In addition, increasing numbers of horses are becoming resistant to the same chemical de-wormers, or are having reactions to the chemicals themselves. To help you eliminate the guesswork, we offer parasite assessments to customize your de-worming programs specific for your horse.
