Ranvet

It could be said that the Ranvet product range was born out of a concerned veterinary surgeon’s observations of horses being trained in a very unnatural environment, being fed extremely high carbohydrate diets and being subjected to continual mental and physical stresses.

With his pioneering efforts in the highly specialized area of equine veterinary science, Dr Sykes revolutionized the way performance horses are fed and trained. Horses are now raced earlier, trained harder and remain in work for longer periods than was ever considered possible 50 years ago.

Dr Sykes’ laboratory findings and extensive fieldwork defined the need for specific electrolyte therapy, vitamin and mineral supplementation, body acid neutralizers and alkali reserve replacers. He clearly identified the essential role of protein in the horse’s diet and the importance of a correct amino acid balance for maximum utilization of that protein.

Every product in the Ranvet range has been developed to meet a horse’s most specific need at any given time, be it in a training environment or on a breeding farm. Having pioneered the formulation of specific medications and dietary supplements for horses, the company is now recognized as a leader in the areas of equine health and nutrition.
