Dr. Weyrauch No. 22 Zickenkrieg, 1.200 g

German packaging: Nr. 22 Zickenkrieg

When horses are hormonal it's not uncommon for them to act up, especially while you're riding. Unfortunately, many mares experience hormonal issues, which can be quite stressful. Just remember they aren't behaving badly on purpose!

During these times, their feed should include an appropriate amount of trace elements and magnesium. Traditional herbs can also help support better behaviour.

No. 22 Zickenkrieg is a pure herbal mixture based on "Vitex agnus castus", the chaste tree. Experience has shown that Vitex agnus castus can have a calming effect on hormonal stress. For cases of Equine Cushing Syndrome (ECS), the peppery aromatic berries from the chaste tree can be fed long term to lower the ACTH level. An increased ACTH level indicates stress, including sexual stress.

In humans, chaste tree is used to relieve symptoms in premenstrual syndrome and sexual performance issues. It may bring balance to sex hormones. This effect is similar in horses.

Supportive herbal blend for Stallions

In the past, monks used the spicy-tasting seeds of the Agnus castus plant as as seasoning due to its calming effects. The chaste tree became a symbol of the abstinent monastic life.

Agnus castus can soothe sexual hormones, making feisty stallions more easy to handle.

Feeding recommendation:

• Feed 20 to 30g (approx. 1.5 to 2 measuring spoons) daily.
