- The important electrolytes are Sodium and Chloride, Potassium, Calcium and Magnesium and they play many key roles in the body, but especially muscle contraction, the nervous system, and maintaining the fluid balance around cells.
- Potassium is usually supplied in abundance in the horses diet, as most forages such as pasture, hay and haylage are high in potassium.
- Sodium and Chloride are found at much lower levels in forages, and even for horses in light work, sodium and chloride need to be provided on a daily basis.
- Because horse sweat contains a higher concentration of sodium and chloride than his other body fluids, it is important that supplemental electrolytes are provided at the correct concentrations to ensure that the desire to drink is maintained, so fluid balance AND electrolyte losses can be restored, to promote recovery, and ensure continued optimum performance.
- This is especially important during long distance travel, or longer shows and events, when fatigue will increase, and performance will decline if electrolyte and fluid balance are not restored.
Apple Lytes have been carefully formulated to replace the key electrolytes and encourage drinking to help support rehydration and maintain peak performance all season. Apple Lytes are highly palatable, and should be mixed in feed. Clean, fresh water should always be available.
