Wind Collar and Wind Swallowing Behavior - Digestive Health Protective Equipment Product Features Specifically designed to make it more difficult and reduce the habit of wind swallowing (aerophagia) in horses. Despite preventing the horse from gripping a surface with its front teeth, it allows the horse to graze and drink normally throughout the day. It helps protect stomach health by restricting neck muscle contraction and air swallowing. Thanks to its durable material and adjustable straps, it easily adapts to horses with different head structures. It is the most commonly used medical support equipment to control stress-related oral behaviors exhibited by horses in restricted environments. Product Description The Wind Collar is designed to curb the behavioral disorder known in the equestrian world as "wind swallowing," characterized by the horse gripping a surface with its teeth and swallowing air. Wind swallowing causes the horse's neck muscles to contract, allowing air to enter the esophagus and reach the stomach, leading to serious digestive problems. This collar breaks this cycle by restricting the horse's ability to grasp an object. It acts as both a behavioral and physical protective shield, especially for horses living in confined spaces, those with low stomach pH, or those at risk of gastric ulcers. Technical Advantages and Profitability Digestive Protection: By preventing air swallowing, it helps prevent colic symptoms and stomach distension. Reduced Ulcer Risk: Minimizes low stomach pH and gastric lesion formation, common in horses that swallow flatulence, by restricting movement. Freedom of Feeding: Thanks to its special design, it only restricts the horse's mouth movements during flatulence; it does not hinder eating and drinking functions. Stress Management: Helps prevent the movement from developing into an addiction through endogenous opioid release (the horse feeling temporarily happy). Dental Health: Prevents wear and breakage of front teeth by preventing the horse from gripping hard surfaces with its teeth. Areas of Use In the care of horses that spend a significant portion of their daily time grasping an object and swallowing air. In preventing flatulence, which may begin in young horses due to curiosity or stress, from becoming permanent. As a supportive treatment for horses with stomach ulcers or chronic colic and a tendency to swallow flatulence. In the stable management of purebred and sport horses experiencing this problem due to hereditary or stress-related factors.
