Laminitis - Grazing Risk Monitoring Service
Features Laminitis
"Laminitis" the Android App was created to provide horse owners with a practical tool to help monitor weather conditions in a way that can be used to warn when grazing on grass posses an increased risk to horses prone to laminitis.Local weather conditions are monitored and are used to predict the rise and fall of non-structural carbohydrates (NSCs) in grass.
When the predicted NSCs increase, this is shown as a rise in risk.Under extreme weather conditions grass can become stressed and in these circumstances significantly increase the risk of a horse becoming footy or suffering a laminitic episode.
When this type of weather pattern happens the risk gauge will rapidly increase to High and maintain this level until the NSC and grass stress levels are predicted to have lowered again.Today, laminitis is a huge problem for horses all over the world and is one of the most common causes of lameness.
With the help of this app as an educational tool it is hoped that fewer horses will suffer from this condition going forward.Current Coverage: United Kingdom (England, Scotland, Wales & Northern Ireland), Ireland, Netherlands, France, Belgium, New ZealandDISCLAIMERThis application is not intended as a replacement for correct animal husbandry or to replace veterinary advice, its role is simply to act as an additional early warning tool to advise when grasses at the location you have selected are likely to be under stress and therefore to have accumulated excess non-structural carbohydrates (NSC, i.e.
sugars, starch or fructan) which could significantly increase the risk of a laminitic episode should it be grazed.This app can give you a warning when the risk of grazing induced laminitis is rising or high.
However, individual horses vary widely in their ability to tolerate fluctuations in NSC levels so what is safe for one horse may not be safe for another.
In addition, grazing is only one risk factor for laminitis and you need also to be aware of the risks posed by other causes, including toxins, metabolic problems and sugar and starch levels in hard feed, which cannot be measured by this app.- Improved compatibility for Galaxy Ace- Updated application artwork

What Our Users Say
Don't just take our word for it. Here's what our users have to say about our Android app.
"At first I was unsure but travelled 100 miles to visit my loan pony on a track one day and it zoomed up to high.. Got home and low but next day we got thier weather and up it went. I normally check during cold spells etc as I have barefooters, cushings and high risk heavy horse"

"** Edited to say that I contacted the developers of the app and the issue is now resolved. My location(s) needed adding to the application which they did very quickly. Comms with the developers were great. *** Useless. Does not detect location correctly - currently just defaults to "Blackwaters" and there is no search function. Location is working fine on my phone - Google Maps shows correct location and permissions are set to allow the apps to read my location so why is it not working. I will be requesting a refund."
Helen Clarkson
"Used this for three years and find it very useful. There's been times when I ignored the high risk reading thinking it wrong only to find my pony suffering extremely loose poo the next day, a sure sign sugar content was high. Like some said it doesn't always pic up your exact location, in my case using the GPS the nearest is 6 miles away, so I use the search facility to find other nearby towns for which it records data to compare too. Check the website for how to search. Works on my Samsung S5"

"Installed the app for android ..got message saying app not developed for the advanced phone I own and was showing Cleethorps in Linconshire I'm in Withernsea in East Riding ..so no good for me ..uninstall"

Jenny Childs
"The location on my app is 10 miles away?"
Carole Bussey
"Have just bought the app but as iv horses in different locations it would be good to be able to use a number of locations instead of just one."
Paula Mooney
"Was handy until it stopped working (failed internet connection no matter the connection) a week after downloading!"
Chiara Staples
"Won't connect to Internet. What a waste of money. Feel robbed"
Danni Gray
"Been using this app to keep my horse safe on the grass for a year and now it won't work all of a sudden. Help! What's happened? I paid for it too so not happy."
