What is Novequin?
Novequin is a highly effective blend of probiotics, prebiotics, and digestive enzymes for large animals such as horses and livestock. Enzymes assist with the digestion of food, while probiotics alleviate digestive stress caused by medication and antibiotic exposure. Novequin provides relief to animals suffering with a sensitive digestive system that causes symptoms such as diarrhea, shedding, bad breath, yeast infections, and constipation. The formula replenishes beneficial bacteria in animals’ intestines to ease digestion and improve immune function for long-term health.
What are probiotics?
Probiotics are medically referred to as a group of friendly bacteria or microflora. Probiotic bacteria favorably alter the intestinal microflora balance, inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria, promote good digestion, boost immune function, and increase resistance to infection. Animals with flourishing intestinal colonies of beneficial bacteria are better equipped to fight the growth of disease-causing bacteria and pathogens, and inhibit the negative effects of constant antibiotic overexposure.
What are digestive enzymes?
Enzymes are proteins that act as catalysts in biochemical reactions. Every enzyme has a specific reactant known as a substrate, which can be thought of like a lock and key. Novequin contains several enzymes or “keys” that can “unlock” (or break down) many of the typical types of food common in an animal’s diet.
The enzymes in Novequin are specific to the digestion of carbohydrates, protein, and fiber.
How does Novequin work?
Novequin brings beneficial bacteria found in nature to your animals. These bacteria, or microbes which help to maintain animals’ digestive systems, used to come from the soil where animals graze. Grazing animals kept in contained areas cannot maintain proper amounts of these microbes in their digestive systems. This may lead to them becoming stressed, which affects their overall performance.
By adding Novequin, you will notice a healthier animal right away—and they will look and perform better too.
Is Novequin safe?
Yes. There have been no reports of any serious or adverse side effects from putting Novequin into an animal’s daily feed regimen. Clinical studies have shown that even extremely large doses of these enzymes and probiotics are nontoxic.
Can I administer Novequin with other supplements?
Novequin can be used safely with other dietary supplements. For best results, we recommend at least one daily dose of Novequin along with our powerful systemic enzyme formula, NEPROFIN.
How do I administer Novequin?
Every animal is different. The simplest way to administer Novequin is to simply add the appropriate serving (see suggested use) to your animal’s meal. For finicky eaters, we recommended finding a way that best fits your animal’s needs. It’s important to simply find a method that is suitable for the animal’s size and personality.
Many animals will simply eat as if the Novequin isn’t there, but this isn’t the case in all situations. Creative ways may be necessary. For instance, Novequin has been successfully administered using an oral syringe with a small amount of water. Any method that enables Novequin to be consumed by the animal is considered a good method.
How long does It take for Novequin to work?
Although every animal is different, some owners have reported seeing the effects of probiotics and enzymes within the first day of supplementation. For therapeutic regimens, the progression may be slow for some and quicker for others. Typically, supplementing the product for a minimum of one month's time is recommended, with the best results occurring anywhere from one to three months thereafter.
Is Novequin Kosher?

Is Novequin vegetarian or vegan? The formula is vegetarian and vegan in accordance with the guidelines of the AMERICAN VEGETARIAN ASSOCIATION.
