Electrolytes such as sodium, chloride and potassium as well as calcium, magnesium and phosphorus are essential for regulating the water balance and maintaining the pH value in the blood. If electrolytes are lost through sweat and not replaced in time, this can lead to problems such as muscle acidosis, fatigue or even blood thickening. Especially during intensive work or hot temperatures, horses are dependent on an adequate supply of electrolytes in order to stay healthy and work optimally. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
Horses should be supplied with electrolytes before training or exercise in order to minimise loss during sweating. An important rule of thumb: electrolytes should always be administered before water intake, as the horse often instinctively indicates a lack of electrolytes by refusing water. Products such as Nutrilytes\u00ae Pellets<\/strong> from NutriLabs offer a simple and effective way of ensuring electrolyte supply by adding them to the feed. They are particularly suitable for horses that sweat a lot or work under stressful conditions. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t An electrolyte deficiency can lead to longer regeneration times, fatigue, reduced performance and an increased risk of injury. Horses that stand in the blazing sun, spend long periods in a lorry or are under stress are particularly prone to electrolyte loss. It is therefore important not only to ensure a regular supply of electrolytes, but also to protect the horse from excessive heat and to plan regular breaks. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t There are different electrolyte products depending on the individual needs of the horse. Nutrilytes\u00ae Basic<\/strong> is ideal for leisure horses that perform light to medium work, while Nutrilytes\u00ae High Performance<\/strong> is tailored to the needs of competition and high-performance horses. Nutrilytes\u00ae Ultra Pellets<\/strong> provides a comprehensive supply of electrolytes and important trace elements for horses with increased requirements, such as heavily sweating sport horses. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\tDangers of electrolyte deficiency and preventive measures<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
