Biofarmab Phosphorus balance
The amount of phosphorus that needs to be added depends on the calcium and phosphorus content of the feed. Phosphorus balance is used in feedstuffs that are underbalanced in phosphorus, e.g. when feeding with calcium-rich straw and/or small amounts of oats. In feedstuffs that are overbalanced in phosphorus, e.g. when feeding with calcium-poor hay and/or large amounts of oats, Eclipse Biofarmabs Foderkrit is recommended.
A medium-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.
Along with calcium, phosphorus is the mineral that the horse needs the most. They also strongly influence each other. An inappropriate ratio between them (the so-called Ca/P ratio) can have just as negative an effect as a deficiency. The ratio should be between 1.2 and 1.8 in the total feed. 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 included in the energy metabolism in the body. 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 cope with a temporary deficiency without symptoms, but if the deficiency is long-term, the skeleton weakens. In a growing horse, however, a temporary deficiency can disrupt skeletal development.
Use Phosphorus Balance to effectively balance your horse's needs!
A maintenance ration 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 exercise, the need for phosphorus increases slightly.
COMPOSITION Monosodium phosphate
DOSAGE
1-3 measures per day, depending on the calcium and phosphorus content of the feed, are mixed into the feed ration.
1 serving = 10 g provides 2.5 g phosphorus and 1.8 g sodium.
