Pavo E'lyte electrolytes 3 kg

When a horse sweats, it loses not only fluid but also body salts such as sodium, potassium, chloride, calcium and magnesium. These electrolytes play an essential role in muscle metabolism. If they are not replaced, stamina drops, and severe deficiencies can lead to dehydration and colic. If your horse struggles to sustain effort or seems listless, replenishing may be necessary.

Complete electrolyte supplement

Pavo E'lyte contains all the necessary body salts in the right proportions, and those proportions are key to effective replenishment. Extra magnesium has been added because horses also lose this mineral when they sweat. Many other electrolytes contain little or no magnesium. E'lyte contains no wheat products and is therefore suitable for a gluten-free diet.

In summer and winter

Horses don't only sweat when it's hot. In winter, too, topping up may be needed before and after heavy training or a competition. Clipped horses dry quickly, so it can seem as if they sweat little; make sure they also get enough electrolytes. Lethargic behaviour is an important sign of a deficiency.

Feeding tip

Horses often need to get used to the taste of electrolytes. Start with a small amount and build up. Mix E'lyte into the feed. For fussy eaters, a little apple sauce or apple juice helps, and you can also give it mixed with apple sauce using an empty, cleaned wormer syringe.
