Silica is an important mineral supplement for horses that contributes to the development and strength of several of the body's supporting and protective structures. The mineral plays a central role in the development of bones, connective tissue, hooves, skin, coat, tendons, and ligaments, and is therefore significant for both durability and long-term well-being.

Silica participates in the formation of strong and elastic tissues and is an important building block for coat, mane, and hoof quality. It also plays a crucial role for tendons and ligaments, where elasticity and strength are essential for the horse's mobility and load-bearing capacity. An adequate intake of silica helps the body to build and maintain these structures effectively.

If there is a deficiency of silica, the horse may show deteriorated coat quality, weak or dull mane, skin problems, and brittle or fragile hooves. Tendons and ligaments can also be negatively affected by a long-term deficiency. Since the silica content in the feed ration can vary, a supplement may be necessary to ensure sufficient intake.
