Phosphorus is an important mineral supplement for horses that contributes to strong bones, healthy teeth, and efficient energy metabolism. As a macromineral, phosphorus plays a central role in several of the horse's fundamental functions and is crucial for both development and performance throughout life.

A large part of the phosphorus in the body is stored in the skeleton, where, together with calcium, it builds up bones and teeth. Phosphorus is also necessary for the muscles' ability to work and for cellular energy metabolism, where it participates in the body's conversion of nutrients into usable energy. For these processes to function optimally, it is important that phosphorus is supplied in the correct ratio to calcium.

The balance between calcium and phosphorus is vital for the horse's health. An appropriate ratio of calcium to phosphorus in the diet is between 1.2:1 and 1.8:1. An imbalance can negatively affect skeletal development and be harmful, especially for young, growing horses and for pregnant and lactating mares with increased mineral needs.

A deficiency of phosphorus can lead to reduced bone strength and skeletal fragility. With prolonged deficiency, symptoms such as decreased appetite, inhibited growth, and reduced fertility may also occur. The maintenance requirement for an adult horse is about 2.8 grams of phosphorus per 100 kg of body weight per day, while the need is higher for growing horses and mares in pregnancy or lactation.

Phosphorus supplementation is recommended when the diet does not meet the horse's needs or when the calcium/phosphorus ratio needs to be adjusted to ensure correct mineral balance. The product has no competition withdrawal period and should always be dosed based on a calculated feed ration.
