Ludgers Balance Mineral Pellets

• compensate for the unfavourable mineral ratio of a pure grain ration and ensure the daily supply of vitamins and minerals for horses and ponies
• vitamins and minerals are essential for optimum metabolic function of the horse and are required daily
• this requirement is not sufficiently covered by pure grain rations and the nutrients cannot be properly absorbed due to the imbalance in the calcium/phosphorus ratio
• can compensate for this imbalance by increasing the calcium content and optimally supplement the other missing nutrients
• copper and zinc are present as ‘-hydroxide’ compounds and therefore have a higher bioavailability than the inorganic forms ‘-sulphate’ or ‘-oxide’
• selenium is 100% present as selenomethionine, in this form it is also stored in the body and better utilised than selenium yeast (another organic form) or inorganic sodium selenite
• adding additional vitamins A, D and E is particularly important as these vitamins are not produced by the body
• vitamin K and B can be synthesised by the intestinal flora, but this does not happen to a sufficient extent in a horse with intensive work requirements or an intact intestinal flora
• ADMR-compliant

Note: Ludgers Balance Mineral Pellets should not be fed if a supplementary feed with a sufficient content of vitamins and trace elements is already being fed.

Feeding recommendation

• feed with the daily grain ration
• adjust the amount to the content of vitamins and trace elements already contained in the compound feed and to the amount used
• 9 - 27 g per 100 kg body weight
• 1 measuring spoon = 45 g
• due to the high content of vitamins and trace elements, the feeding recommendations should be adhered to
