Calcium and phosphorus
99% of calcium and phosphorus is stored in the skeleton of the horse, which shows the importance of the two elements for the stability and function of the bony structure. A 500 kg horse requires, depending on the expected performance, 25-50 g Ca and 12-40 g P / day. The requirements are highest with mares in late pregnancy and foals in the first year. The normal Ca/P ratio should not drop below 1:1 and not exceed 3:1. In EQUISTRO MEGA BASE the Ca/P ratio is 5:1 to compensate for normal feed.
Sodium and chlorine
Sodium and chlorine maintain the osmotic pressure of extracellular liquids and regulate the acid/base balance and water balance. A 500 kg horse requires 10g Na and 40g Cl, but the requirement may be six times as high depending on the workload. In such cases, additional high-volume supplementation in other feeds is indispensable.
Magnesium
Magnesium is required for the activation of many enzymes - including those involved in muscle metabolism - and it influences the protein, fat and carbohydrate metabolism. Adult horses require between 10 and 13g Mg/animal/day, foals between 5 and 10g. Since only pasturing will (in most cases) ensure sufficient intake, it is necessary to supplement magnesium in winter. Since the magnesium content in mare's milk drops off rapidly, only 20% of the foal's requirement is ensured from the 3rd month. A connection is suspected between supply deficiencies of magnesium in foals and the occurrence of anomalies in posture and limbs.
Iron
Iron is required for the formation of haemoglobin and myoglobin and is therefore important for the supply of oxygen by the erythrocytes - and thus for performance. According to Finckler-Schade et al., 1996, 20% of foals in pasture showed insufficient supplies, and 16% of the operations checked in winter showed insufficient supplies acc. to Hackl
