Tox Target

Mycotoxins are toxic substances produced by moulds on grass, weeds, grain, feeds and hays. They can create significant challenges to a horse’s health. 

Horses consuming mycotoxins can exhibit a range of symptoms, commonly termed mycotoxicosis. These include unexplained random spooky behaviour, skin irritation, photosensitivity, head-shaking or flicking, staggers, to gut issues, poor growth, low fertility, immune problems and lack of stamina.

Moulds that invade certain grass species can produce mycotoxins which are particularly toxic to horses. Key types include black paspalum (ergot mycotoxins), ryegrass, clovers, tall fescue, weeds such as capeweed and other grasses that grow in hot, wet or damp climates.

Tox Target contains multiple mycotoxin binders in a concentrated formula designed for an ‘ultra-high level’ binding capacity. The combination of mineral, organic and inorganic binders give Tox-Target a broad-spectrum action to bind many different mycotoxins and allow them to be expelled in the manure, rather than being absorbed by the horse. 

Long term mycotoxin exposure can negatively impact horse health and wellbeing.  Tox Target contains nutrients that help to ‘detoxify’ the liver, kidneys and other organs that may have been affected by ingestion of mycotoxins. 

Tox-Target has been especially researched and tested for horses grazing on pastures that are infected by mycotoxins. Our extensive field trials demonstrated excellent results in helping horses that had showed visible symptoms of mycotoxicosis.

Supplementation Guidelines 

Each scoopful contains 60 grams of TOX-TARGET. 
Give TOX-TARGET daily mixed into feed (wet or dry). It is recommended to split the daily rate of TOX-TARGET between morning and evening feeds (even a small feed) to help prolong the full daily activity of the supplement for grazing horses.

Initial Supplementation Rate (for 1 0 - 14 days, or seasonally during high mycotoxin risk periods): 

Horses (400 - 600 kg body weight): 2 scoops per day, split between morning and evening feeds (total 120 g). 

Ponies (125 - 375 kg body weight) and Donkeys: 1 scoop per day (60 g), split between morning and evening feeds. 

Maintenance Supplementation Rate (on-going, or in moderate mycotoxin risk periods) 

Horses: 1 scoop per day (60 g) 

Ponies and Donkeys: 1/2 scoop per day (30 g)
