Calcium and phosphorus99% of calcium and phosphorus is stor ... Read more

Calcium and phosphorus99% 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 Megabase the Ca/P ratio is 5:1 to compensate for normal feed.Sodium and chlorineSodium 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.MagnesiumMagnesium 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. IronIron 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 Hacklnder et al., 1996. Iron is depleted by lactation, haemorrhaging and sweating, with approx. 20 mg iron loss per kg of swe Minimize

The significance of magnesium in the organismBesides potass ... Read more

The significance of magnesium in the organismBesides potassium, magnesium is the most important mineral in the cell. Its blood plasma concentration is 13 times lower than the intracellular concentration. Since the organism can store only limited quantities of magnesium (Matthei, 1996). 60% of the body's magnesium content is stored in the skeleton, from which it can be released relatively quickly. About 35% are found in the heart, skeletal muscles and liver, 1-5% in body fluids such as blood, gastric juice, bile, lymph and urine. Of all the organs, the heart has the highest magnesium content, which is reflected in its protective effect in cardiac diseases. Magnesium is an important element in the activation of over 300 enzymes. Without magnesium, protein synthesis in the metabolism is disturbed, lipolysis does not function optimally, and blood glucose is not broken down to a sufficient degree (Matthei, 1996). The influence of magnesium on the metabolism of the musculature and nervous system is considerable. magnesium is considered to be an anti-stress mineral, since sufficient supplies reduce the release of stress hormones. How to tell if a horse requires supplementation:Loss of appetite, exhaustion, poor condition, excessive excitability, nervousness, sweating, muscular tremor, muscle strains, cramps. Vitamin B12 (cobalamines) in horses: Cobalamines in the vitamin B12 group have a central cobalt atom. For this reason, an insufficient supply of vitamin B12 is a possibility in regions with extreme cobalt dearth. The cobalt requirement in horses is 0.05-0.1 mg/kg feed DS. Like magnesium, vitamin B 12 also contributes to the control of the sensitivity of the nervous system to stimulation. High levels of physical stress can quickly lead to a horse showing nervous reactions. The combination of a magnesium salt with immediate availability and a magnesium salt with delayed availability in Equistro Betamag 12, together with vitamin B12, can a Minimize

Magnesium in horsesMagnesium absorption takes place in the ... Read more

Magnesium in horsesMagnesium absorption takes place in the small intestine, with only 10-60% of the magnesium being absorbed from feedstuff and 70% from mineral substances containing magnesium. A horse weighing 500 kg stores about 125 mg of magnesium, 75 g of this amount in the skeleton, another 45 g in the heart, muscles and liver. The normal plasma / serum level in horses is 18-24 mg Mg/l or 0.75 - 1.0 mmol Mg/l (Meyer, 1996).The recommended dietary magnesium supply for horses is 20 mg Mg/kg of body weight per day, corresponding to a maintenance requirement of 10 g Mg/500 kg body weight.The following deviations in requirement levels should be kept in mind: Work light, moderate, heavy: 10.5 g / 11 g / 13 g / animal / day Pregnancy 9th-11th month: 10.5 g / animal / day Lactation, 3rd month: 13 g / animal / day Foals 3rd-6th / 7th-12th month: 5 g / 6 g / animal / day Foals 13th-18th / 19th-24th month: 7.5 g / 8.5 g / animal / day Foals 25th-36th month: 9 g / animal / day (modified, Meyer, 1996)Magnesium supply in grazing mares and foals is usually sufficient at average grass contents levels of c. 2 g Mg/kg DS (Finkler-Schade et al., 1996). In winter, however due to changes in the quality of grass supplementation may be neccessary.Zinc in horsesThe zinc requirement for horses of all ages is around 50 mg/kg feed DS. With Equistro Betamag Forte Liquid the main stress-protective effect is utilized along with the positive effects of zinc on metabolism and growth, coat quality and hoof hardness. Like magnesium, zinc plays an important role in stress protection. Serum zinc levels drop in stressful situations as a sign of depletion. Since supplies of zinc in green fodder and hay are not reliable, supplementation of zinc is generally recommended for horses. Equistro Betamag Forte Liquid is more than just a combination of magnesium and zinc. The special liquid formula specially developed for horses of magnesium bound to amino acids, i.e. organic magnes Minimize

Please Note:Special (Non-stocked) Item - May take up to 10 days for delivery.As the first seven months of a foal's life are its main growth phase, exacting standards must apply for nutrients during this critical phase, regarding their biological value and adjustment to the foal's needs. Mare's milk, the main nutrient source for foals, unfortunately does not nearly meet the requirements of growing animals for several important volume elements and trace elements. According to Sonntag, 1996, foals in the 3rd month of lactation receive only 37% of their Ca requirement, 20% of their Mg requirement, 17% of their P requirement and 12% of their Fe requirement via mare's milk. Copper reserves must be stored in the foetal liver and mobilized post partum, since the copper content of mare's milk is very low. Equistro Megabase Junior is formulated especially to meet the requirements of a sucking foal during the first 7 months of its life. It contains mineral, trace element and vitamin compounds produced in processes that preserve their high biological value. The liquid product form means ready metabolic availability. Equistro Megabase Junior helps ensure basic supplies of nutrients required for the harmonious and regular development of the skeleton and the locomotor apparatus in foals. Beginning with the bagging up, Equistro Megabase Junior can also be given to mares to increase the reserves of certain nutrients in the foetus and to ensure initially higher content levels in mare's milk.

Historically, large breeds have been developed for either strength or speed. This has led to two fundamentally different dog body types: Robust (e.g. Retriever, Basset Hound, Bloodhound, Rottweiler, Bullmastiff, St. Bernard) and Athletic (e.g. Pointer, German Shepherd, Boxer, Giant Snauzer, Great Dane, Irish Wolfhound). Research has shown that these two body types have very different characteristics and nutritional needs.Large breed robust dogs have more body fat and need their calorie intake monitored to avoid weight gain. In contrast, large breed athletic dogs expend more energy in daily activities and need a higher energy diet. In fact, they use up more energy even when resting than large breed robust dogs.Purina nutritionists and vets have developed Large Breed formulas to meet the specific energy and nutritional requirements of each body type.Pro Plan Adult Large Robust is specially formulated for larger dogs with a robust physique. A special combination of L-Carnitine and optimal protein and fat level helps maintain lean body mass. Furthermore, it contains a high level of glutamine from meat to help support large breeds' delicate digestive system.

Hills Prescription Diet Feline M/D is a nutritional option to manage overweight feline patients or those that suffer from Diabetes. It works with the cat's unique metabolism to reduce body weight and increase muscle mass without causing excessive stools. Finding the right solution for weight loss means that every overweight cat has the opportunity to improve its quality of life. Along with an increased risk of serious health problems, such as heart disease, arthritis and liver disease, obese cats are four times more likely to develop diabetes mellitus.Traditional calorie restriction works effectively for many cats; however, like humans, some cats respond better to a metabolic approach for weight loss. This approach is based on significantly restricting carbohydrate levels to achieve weight loss, by switching metabolism to the utilisation of stored fat as the main source of energy.Experts agree that low carbohydrate, high protein diets are beneficial for cats with diabetes mellitus. Diet Feline M/D combines these features with those of increased fibre to better manage diabetic cats by better regulation of blood glucose levels, reduced levels of total cholesterol, improved insulin sensitivity, and up to 50% lower insulin requirement. Around one third of cats are able to discontinue insulin therapy completely.Key Benefits:A high protein, low carbohydrate food that encourages the cat to use up fat for energy.Supplemented with L- Carnitine to help burn fat and preserve muscle.Helps neutralise radicals as it contains high levels of antioxidants.Provides a great taste and facilitates mixed feeding of both both wet and dry food.Ingredients (Dry):Poultry meal, maize gluten meal, ground maize, greaves meal, animal fat, cellulose, L-lysine hydrochloride, digest, potassium citrate, calcium sulphate, L-carnitine supplement, calcium carbonate, taurine, potassium chloride, salt, DL-methionine, L-tryptophan, vitamins an Minimize
