The amount of phosphorus that needs to be added depends on the feed's calcium and phosphorus content. Phosphorus Balance is used in feed rations that are underbalanced in phosphorus, for example, when feeding with calcium-rich straw feed and/or small amounts of oats. In feed rations that are overbalanced in phosphorus, such as calcium-poor hay and/or large amounts of oats, Eclipse Biofarmab's Feed Chalk is recommended.
An average-sized horse consists of about 4 kg of phosphorus, of which 80% is found in the skeleton and teeth. The main absorption of phosphorus occurs in the large intestine and is absorbed in the form of phosphate.
Together with calcium, phosphorus is the mineral that the horse has the greatest need for. They also strongly influence each other. An inappropriate ratio between them (the so-called Ca/P ratio) can have as negative an effect as a deficiency. The ratio should be between 1.2 and 1.8 in the total feed ration. For a growing horse, the ratio should be in the upper part of the range, while for a training, adult horse, it can be in the lower part. A relatively large part of phosphorus is also involved in the body's energy metabolism. There is a constant transport of phosphorus in and out of the skeleton; if the supply is too low, the skeleton acts as a reserve. In this way, an adult horse can manage a temporary deficiency without symptoms, but if the deficiency is prolonged, the skeleton weakens. In the growing horse, however, a temporary deficiency can disrupt skeletal development.
Use Phosphorus Balance to effectively balance your horse's needs! A maintenance dose should cover what the horse loses in metabolism. For example, a horse loses about 1g of phosphorus per 100 kg of body weight through feces and urine. During training, the need for phosphorus increases slightly.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Phosphorus supplement for horses.
APPLICATION AREA In feed rations that are underbalanced in phosphorus, for example, when feeding with calcium-rich straw feed and/or small amounts of oats.
COMPOSITION Monosodium phosphate
DOSAGE 1-3 measures per day, depending on the feed's calcium and phosphorus content, mixed into the feed ration. 1 measuring scoop = 10 g provides 2.5 g phosphorus and 1.8 g sodium.
