NEWARK, DE — Aquelyst has introduced Duo Equine, a molecular-level environmental solution aimed at tackling odor, microbes, and residual contaminants in equine facilities by neutralizing their sources rather than masking symptoms.
The product applies remediation technology developed by Remedia International Inc., which has been used across industrial, agricultural, and infrastructure environments. Aquelyst said adapting that approach for equine settings reflects growing demand for solutions that balance effectiveness with animal sensitivity.
Equine facilities face persistent environmental challenges. Horses often spend extended periods in enclosed or semi-enclosed spaces where organic waste, moisture, bedding, and limited airflow combine to create recurring odors and elevated microbial conditions. Air quality and surface hygiene in those environments are closely tied to animal health, performance, and long-term welfare.
Many traditional products rely on fragrances, enzymes, or aggressive disinfectants. While they can deliver short-term results, repeated use may raise concerns about respiratory exposure, skin contact, and cumulative chemical load, particularly for animals with heightened sensitivity.
“Horses are not just livestock; they are often the most valuable and closely monitored assets in an equine operation,” an Aquelyst spokesperson said. “Owners and caretakers need solutions that address environmental problems without introducing unnecessary risks.”
Duo Equine is designed to break down volatile organic compounds responsible for odors, along with bacteria and other microorganisms common in barns and stables. By altering those compounds at a molecular level, the product aims to prevent them from continuing to function as odor sources or microbial hosts, reducing the cycle of recurring contamination.
The formulation is intended for frequent use in environments where close animal contact is unavoidable, including stalls, barns, trailers, wash racks, tack rooms, and shared equipment areas. Aquelyst said the product’s liquid format allows for even application using standard spraying or misting equipment without disrupting daily operations.
The company also emphasized environmental responsibility. Duo Equine is positioned as a green solution, avoiding heavy fragrances, harsh chemicals, and persistent residues. That approach aligns with broader sustainability and Environmental, Social, and Governance considerations increasingly shaping purchasing decisions in agriculture and animal care.
Many equine operations house multiple species, from barn cats and dogs to livestock and wildlife that pass through shared spaces. Aquelyst said Duo Equine was formulated to function consistently across mixed-animal environments without requiring layered or conflicting treatments.
The launch reflects a broader shift within the equine industry toward evidence-based environmental management, where prevention and long-term stability are prioritized over surface-level fixes. By bringing remediation technology from industrial applications into animal care, Aquelyst is betting that molecular solutions will redefine how facilities manage hygiene, air quality, and animal well-being over time.
