Product Description
What are OKAPI Cough Herbs?
OKAPI Cough Herbs are a mixture of pure herbs that have long been used in traditional folk medicine to provide relief for respiratory issues accompanied by mucus. They support the natural ability of the airways to loosen and transport excess mucus, allowing it to be coughed up, so the horse can breathe more freely afterwards.
If the horse’s cough is accompanied by mucus – such as yellow mucus spots on the floor after coughing, or yellow, viscous discharge from the nose – we strongly recommend consulting a qualified therapist or veterinarian, as this is typically indicative of an infectious condition. To help you find professional support, our partner Sanoanimal works with a network of qualified therapists. You can find a list of therapists sorted by region right here. In such cases, we strongly advise against feeding our Sekretosan until the underlying cause of the respiratory problem has been clarified and properly addressed by a therapist.
Are OKAPI Cough Herbs suitable for my horse?
In principle, OKAPI Cough Herbs are suitable for adult horses of all ages and breeds.
Can I combine OKAPI Cough Herbs with other products?
OKAPI Cough Herbs can be easily combined with other products. We recommend combining it with OKAPI Sulphur Plus (MSM) and OKAPI Zinc Plus for further support.
Feeding recommendations
How long should I feed OKAPI Cough Herbs ?
OKAPI Cough Herbs can be used alongside veterinary therapy. Feeding should be limited to a period of six to eight weeks, after which a break of four to six weeks is recommended or a switch to OKAPI Secretosan or OKAPI Immuno Herbs for general immune support.
How are OKAPI Cough Herbs fed?
OKAPI Cough Herbs can be directly incorporated into the horse’s existing feed and can be added dry or moistened to the feed or sprinkled over the hay. OKAPI Cough Herbs can also be prepared as a tea. Simply pour hot water over the herbs, add a teaspoon of honey to enhance the flavour, and feed the tea lukewarm to support its soothing effects.
How do I calculate the correct dosage for my horse?
To calculate the appropriate amount of OKAPI Cough Herbs for your horse, follow these steps:
1. Determine your horse’s weight:
The horse’s weight can be measured using a scale, weight tape, or apps like the BCI App from our partner Sanoanimal, available for free on Google Play and Apple Store).
2. Use the feeding recommendation as your starting point:
The general recommendation for OKAPI Cough Herbs is based on a 600 kg horse. The recommended daily amount is 30 g to 50 g (approximately one handful).
3. Adjust the amount to your horse’s weight:
For example, for a horse weighing 300 kg:
50 g ÷ 600 kg × 300 kg = 25 g per day
This calculation can be used to determine the appropriate amount for horses of different weights.
- 500g sufficient for approximately 10–14 days
- 1,000g sufficient for approximately 3–6 weeks
- 3,000g sufficient for multiple horses
