Pureform E-Concentrate Electrolytes 1kg
Essential Mineral Replacement Formula
Electrolytes are essential for many body functions, and horses lose them in their sweat. When electrolyte levels drop below minimum levels, there can be a wide variety of adverse effects including weakness, muscle cramping, lameness, and colic. The first step in making sure your horse has adequate intake of electrolytes is to feed a mineral-adequate diet with at least 10lbs of hay daily. Loose salt (table salt, not sea salt) will usually be consumed more readily than salt in licks or bricks. Make sure your horse consumes at least 1oz of salt in cool weather when inactive. With hard work and warm or hot weather, the horse's basic salt needs increase to 3-4oz per day for an average-size (900lbs | 400kg) horse.The quantity of electrolytes your horse needs depends on how much sweat he loses. Sweat losses during exercise vary, from about 2 quarts to more than 10 quarts per hour. Regarding sodium loss, this amounts to anywhere from 5 to 25 grams per hour.
Although it is theoretically possible to fulfill an exercising horse’s electrolyte needs with plenty of good-quality forage and free-choice salt licks, studies do show that supplemental electrolytes are important and beneficial for maximum performance. Besides aiding in the prevention of tie-ing up, electrolytes help horses recover faster from hard training and return to their feed quicker.
While electrolytes can be essential to the performance horse, electrolyte formulas must properly meet the horse’s needs. Equine electrolyte replacements do not include a large amount of sugar, but instead should be formulated to replace what is lost from the horse during exercise.
Easy to administer with meals or in drinking water. If you’re going to add E-Concentrate to your horse’s drinking water, we recommend making fresh, un-supplemented water available as well.
