- Contains little sugar – less that 15%
- Easy to give – just mix into daily feed ration
- Helps support normal hydration
Size: 5 lbs.(80 oz.)
Recommendations for Use:
- For immediate oral supplementation, mix Endura-Max in a 60cc dose syringe with water or another carrier (such as applesauce or yogurt)
- For preloading prior to a competition, mix Endura-Max with the grain portion of the diet or administer orally. In addition, horses should always have free-choice access to a salt block or loose salt and fresh clean water.
Feeding Directions:
The following are general guidelines. The actual amount of electrolyte supplementation needed will depend on the level of exercise, temperature, and humidity.
During Competition
Because of the tremendous sweat loss during a race, an endurance horse should receive 2 oz the night before, 2oz prior to starting, and 2oz at every vet check
Daily Supplementation
Daily Supplementation of electrolytes to an endurance horse is discretionary. A normal maintenance intake for horses at rest in hot environments or those being transported in hot weather is 1 oz. per day. Horses at moderate work levels should receive 2-3 ounces per day, and those in heavy training require 3-4 oz into separate feedings.
If a horse is unwilling to drink water, electrolytes should not be given without the supervision of a veterinarian.
Important Note:
Always provide horses receiving electrolyte supplementation with free-choice, clean water. Lack of adequate water in a diet supplemented with electrolytes may lead to dehydration and other serious metabolic disorders.
