FAQs
How much electrolyte should I give my horse?
Feed 12g per 100kg of body weight per day. For example, a 400-600kg horse would get approximately 1-1.5 scoops (using the included 50ml scoop).
Can I give my horse too much electrolyte?
Yes, it is possible to over-supplement. Always follow the feeding guidelines and consult your veterinarian for specific advice.
How often should I use Dodson & Horrell Electrolytes?
Use electrolytes during periods of heavy sweating, such as after intense exercise, travel, or during hot weather. You can adjust the frequency based on your horse's activity level and the environmental conditions.
Is this product safe for pregnant mares?
Consult with your veterinarian before using any supplements on pregnant mares to ensure it is appropriate for their specific needs.
How long does the tub last?
The duration depends on the size of the tub (2kg, 5kg, or 15kg) and the dosage needed for your horse. Refer to the feeding guidelines and your horse's weight to estimate usage.
Can I mix electrolytes with other supplements?
Generally, yes, but it is always best to consult with your veterinarian before combining supplements to avoid any potential interactions.
What are the ingredients?
Sodium chloride, calcium gluconate, magnesium sulphate, dextrose, and potassium chloride.
Troubleshooting
Horse is not drinking the water with electrolytes.
Try mixing the electrolytes with a smaller amount of water or adding a small amount of molasses to improve palatability. Ensure fresh water is always available as an alternative.
