Is your practice ready for your spring caseload? 🐎

October brings more cases through the door at once than almost any other month; respiratory illness post- competition, foals needing FPT checks, and colics.

The VMRD, Inc. Cube Plus Reader gives you quantitative SAA and foal IgG results stall-side, in 10 minutes. You don’t need to courier samples or wait on an external lab.

Don’t have a Reader yet? Or has your caseload outgrown your current diagnostic workflow?

👉 Send us a message or comment READER and we’ll arrange a Cube Plus demonstration at your practice this spring.

SAA and the newborn foal 🐴

A stallside SAA reading can be a handy extra piece of the puzzle when you’re assessing a dull foal on farm. Recent research suggests a few things to keep in mind:

🔹 Age matters. SAA rises naturally over the first 2–3 days of life, so a mildly raised reading in a 36-hour-old foal means something different from the same number in a 6-day-old.

🔹 It works best as a team player. Admission SAA gives a moderate signal for sepsis, so it’s most useful alongside your clinical exam, IgG and bloods.

🔹 A second reading can add context. In hospitalised foals, a rising SAA over the first day or two was linked with positive blood cultures and poorer outcomes, though not every study agrees.

Small number, useful context. References in the comments.

How do you know which clinical claims to trust? 🔬

Every new equine solution comes with claims. At Equinnovate, we look hard at the evidence behind them before deciding to bring them to market.

When we assess a product, we weigh:
✔ Published, peer-reviewed research
✔ Study design (controlled trials, case series or somewhere in between)
✔ Who funded the research
✔ Performance in Australian conditions (heat, storage, clinic workflow)
✔ Feedback from Australian vets using it on real cases

Not every product has the same depth of evidence, and we won’t pretend otherwise. Message us about anything we supply and we’ll give you the straight answer.

Foaling season is here 🐴

The peri-parturient period is one of the busiest phases of a broodmare’s year, with changes to hormones, diet and management.

FullBucket BioClay Plus is a digestive supplement for horses containing:

🌿 Calcium montmorillonite (smectite) clay
🌿 Saccharomyces cerevisiae boulardii, a microencapsulated live yeast probiotic
🌿 Prebiotics
🌿 L-glutamine
🌿 Electrolytes

Add BioClay Plus to your ambulatory kit this foaling season. Send us a DM or contact the Equinnovate for more information.

In a recent study published in the EVJ, almost 1 in 4 sport horses had insulin dysregulation, a key driver of laminitis, and none had previously been diagnosed with EMS. 🐴

The 2026 study of 180 sport horses also found:

✔️ 3 in 4 of those cases were missed by a single resting insulin sample. They only showed up during an oral sugar test.

✔️ Body condition and cresty neck weren’t accurate predictors.

✔️ The Wellness Ready stall-side insulin test correctly identified 97% of horses with insulin dysregulation at its proposed screening cut-off.

With a quantitative result in 15 minutes, vets can run the oral sugar test stall-side and plan management in the same visit, before a laminitic episode occurs.

🌱 Spring pasture is here. Contact Equinnovate to find out how to bring stall-side insulin testing into your practice this spring. Send us a DM or reach via the link in our bio.

🐴 Is equine ID more than an insulin problem?

A new study in the Equine Veterinary Journal found evidence of pancreatic α-cell dysfunction in horses with insulin dysregulation (ID).

During an Oral Sugar Test (OST), horses with moderate-to-severe ID showed:

1. ~2.5× higher fasting glucagon than normal horses.
2. Impaired glucagon suppression after the sugar dose, despite marked hyperinsulinaemia.
3. A positive correlation between glucagon and insulin response.

The authors suggest glucagon may increase insulin demand by driving hepatic glucose output, which would add to the hyperinsulinaemia linked to laminitis. Cause and effect still need confirming, but the findings suggest equine ID involves more than one hormone.

🌍 Happy World Animal Day!

Today we celebrate our love of animals, but also the science, dedication and innovation that make their lives better.

For horses, welfare is inseparable from accurate, timely diagnosis and access to effective therapies:

🐴 A foal with failure of passive transfer that is detected and treated within the first 12 hours has a very different outlook to one whose low IgG is picked up on day three.

🐴 A horse whose insulin dysregulation is identified before the first laminitic episode has the best chance of staying sound.

The science we share, the products we distribute and the vets we support all serve one mission: better health for Australian horses. Today, and every day.

Equinnovate is proud to introduce FullBucket to Australian equine veterinary practices!

Co-founded by US-board certified specialists Dr Keith Latson (DACVS) and Dr Rob Franklin (DACVIM), alongside partner Robo Hendrickson, the products were developed to provide practical nutritional formulas for equine practice.

What sets FullBucket apart?

🔹 Microencapsulated foundation: built around the live yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae boulardii to support normal digestive function during travel, competition or changes in diet.

🔹 Third-party lab tested: made in the USA, with ingredients independently tested for quality and levels.

🔹 Purpose-driven impact: through the One-4-One program, for every serving purchased, one is donated to animals in need.
We're excited to bring this vet-founded nutritional range to clinics across Australia.

Foaling season is here, is your IgG test ready?

The practices who prioritise efficiency this season are those prepared with point-of-care quantitative IgG testing.

When you're standing in the foaling paddock evaluating a 12-hour-old foal, you don't have time to second-guess a range, line or colour on a qualitative test or wait 24 hours for lab results while the gut window closes.

With the VMRD Point-of-Care Cube Plus Reader, you get exact, numerical IgG levels in 10 minutes. Fast, precise data means instant confidence, whether that means signing off a healthy foal or starting a plasma transfusion immediately.

Is your practice foaling-ready?

📩 DM us to set up a VMRD Reader demo for your practice before the foaling surge begins!

🐴 The 12-Hour Countdown: What Are We Missing in Neonatal Foal Care?

Failure of Passive Transfer (FPT) doesn’t wait for lab backlogs or courier delays. When a newborn foal is on the ground, gut closure is underway. By 12 hours, the window for effective oral colostrum absorption is rapidly closing, leaving expensive IV plasma as your only backup.

Relying on subjective, semiquantitative "is that line dark enough?" field tests or waiting hours for lab results introduces unnecessary risk to a vulnerable patient. When managing high value bloodstock, exact numbers dictate exact treatments.

⏱️ Why the VMRD Point-Of-Care Platform Leads Stall-Side Care:

• One Reader, Dual Diagnostics: Quantify Foal IgG AND Equine SAA on the same handheld reader. Validate passive transfer while screening for underlying perinatal inflammation or early sepsis.

• Whole Blood Ready: No centrifuge, no waiting for serum to settle. Run tests horse-side directly from fresh or EDTA whole blood.

• Stable-Ready Storage: Store safely between 15- 26 degrees Celsius.

• Truly Quantitative: Move past line-guessing. Get objective, repeatable numerical data in 10 minutes to tailor plasma dosing or monitor clinical progression.

The VMRD Point-of-Care Reader delivers validated objective answers right in the paddock. Give your practice the diagnostic edge ahead of the upcoming foaling season.

👇 Stop guessing passive transfer status. Send us a DM today to secure a VMRD reader trial for your practice before the busy season hits!
