Jenquine

Jenquine Company Profile

After obtaining a degree in veterinary science and PhD, Dr Jen Stewart spent 40 years as an equine veterinarian, including 10 years as the equine nutritionist with Mitavite.

During this time, Jen started developing premium formulas for studs, trainers and feed companies in Australia and around the world. She regularly consults to leading International studs and trainers – as well as owners and riders from all equestrian disciplines – in New Zealand, Australia, South Africa, Japan and India. Jen has spent a fair bit of time researching and being involved in nutritional management of developmental orthopaedic diseases, colic, tyingup, laminitis, performance problems, post-surgery, rehabilitation and other conditions. Combining all of Jen’s experience and wanting to bring science to your feed bin Jenquine was created, where the best evidence-based nutrition supported by veterinary and scientific research is provided.

Jenquine is at the cutting edge and provides quality ethical products which have been tested with extensive clinical field trials by veterinarians and horse owners. Our products are formulated and produced in Australia in audited, APVMA licensed and ISO-compliant facilities. Jenquine also offers veterinary clinical diet-analysis.

Diet-analysis is frequently used by nutritionists, veterinarians and horse owners – and there are a number of computer-based, diet-analysis software packages available. These programs simplify diet evaluation but should be primarily used as a guide, not the ultimate answer. Care must be taken in interpretation of their output. The NRC (2007) values upon which many diet analyses are based, are minimum, average intakes to sustain life in an average healthy horse – making the results applicable to less than 50% of horses. In reality, requirements vary considerably and horses with a range of veterinary clinical conditions have increased or decreased requirements.

Horses that benefit from in-depth dietary analysis include: pregnant mares and growing horses, those at risk for or affected by veterinary clinical conditions such as arthritis, behavioural issues, body composition concerns, convalescence, Cushings disease (PPID), dental conditions, developmental orthopaedic diseases (DOD), diarrhoea, endocrine problems, growth monitoring/ management, injuries, insulin resistance (IR), lack of muscle and topline, laminitis, muscle problems (tying-up/recurrent exertional rhabdomyolysis/EPSM/PSSM), orphan foals, poor hoof quality, performance problems, rehab post-injury or surgery, stomach ulcers and skin conditions.
