Equistro offers advice on water balance in horses
Equistro has produced a leaflet for vets to offer clients, explaining the importance of the balance of water and electrolytes in horses. Horses depend on a sufficient daily supply of electrically charged minerals to maintain the balance and flow of essential body fluids, the transmission of nerve impulses and the healthy function of the muscles and circulatory system. Equistro’s leaflet explains that horses engaged in regular exercise are able to increase their salt intake to compensate for increased losses. But if they are competing in an endurance ride or are worked hard for several days in a row, horses can benefit from additional electrolyte supplement. The leaflet offers tips for horse owners on how to avoid electrolyte loss and dehydration and outlines Equistro products, Elytaan Powder and Liquid and Energy Builder syringes, which can be used to alleviate electrolyte losses.
