The primary characteristics of tendons and ligaments (an alliance of delicate fibres subject to significant strain during exercise) are strength and elasticity. In the event of a tendon injury, the challenge for veterinary surgeons is to encourage the formation of scar tissue rich in collagen, which has unique strength and elasticity, so as to minimise the risk of relapse. These critical periods require specific nutritional support. Ekyflex Tendon is a complemenary feed formulated by Audevard Laboratories. It is designed to provide nutritional support for tendons and ligaments of horses in recovery or for prevention of tendon injury.
