Under BETA’s NOPS scheme there are many different substances which are considered; historically the principal risk has come from caffeine, theobromine and morphine (due to the cultivation of morphine poppies in UK). Hyoscine and atropine have also occurred in recent years as a result of certain weeds, which contain these substances naturally, starting to occur more frequently in certain crops used as ingredients in horse feed. Herbal NOPS are also considered which contain substances that could lead to a positive test in competition. Stay informed, stay compliant! Learn more about NOPS regulations and best practices for maintaining horse feed safety. Find out more: https://loom.ly/Mr7q450
