Product Details

Horsepower Equestrian is a moderate energy, low grain feed. For this reason, horses fed Horsepower Equestrian remain calm, yet get all the energy they need for most competitive sports. “Poor doers” will put on weight easily.

Horsepower Equestrian contains superior levels of minerals and trace elements when compared to many of it’s competitors, and as such, there is often no need to provide any further supplementation to horses in moderate work.

2+ to be absorbed, and as such other divalent cations like copper and zinc may compete for transport into the body. Acid suppressor drugs like Omeprazole may reduce absorbtion. Oxalic acid found in tropical grasses forms an insoluble salt, calcium oxalate, which reduces digestibility and absorbtion, potentially leading to a functional calcium deficiency and ‘’Big Head’’ (see Bran Disease). Phytic Acid found in cereal grains like oats and barley may also form insoluble complexes with calcium and reduce digestibility. The amount of dietary Phosphorous present does not affect calcium absorbtion and any dietary calcium surplus to immediate requirements is only poorly absorbed. Accretions of calcium in the gut can form stones called enteroliths, fortunately rare in Australia. Excess calcium in the body is excreted through the kidney and under certain conditions may also be associated with kidney and bladder stones (urinary calculi)." href="https://horsepower.com.au/glossary/calcium" data-gt-translate-attributes="[{"attribute":"data-cmtooltip", "format":"html"}]">Calcium

50 (the dose rate which would be expected to be lethal for 50% of animals) for selenium in the form of sodium selenite is only 3.3 mg/kg bodyweight, or 1.65 grams for a 500kg horse, a tiny amount. Chronic – Alkali Disease shows as cracking of the hooves especially at the coronary band, sometimes with separation and sloughing of the hoof, as well as hair loss, particularly of the mane and tail. This is believed to be caused by the substitution of Selenium for Sulphur in the keratin of hoof and hair which weakens it’s normal structure or possibly by damaging the keratin forming cells.Toxicity can occur from ingesting selenium concentrating plants in pasture but is most commonly the result of accidental over supplementation or use of vitamin E/Selenium injections. Recently organic chelates of selenium and selenium yeast have become popular in supplements and premixes but to date there is little evidence that they are more bio-available or effective." href="https://horsepower.com.au/glossary/selenium" data-gt-translate-attributes="[{"attribute":"data-cmtooltip", "format":"html"}]">Selenium
