Complementary feed for horses
The active substance combination for an effective blood formation and an active vascular protection.
Application
EQUIPUR - ferrochel effectively eliminates iron deficiencies and supplies the organism with the active ingredients that sport horses, foals, and broodmares in particular need to actively promote blood formation and protect the blood vessels in the lungs during peak performance. This helps to balance out fluctuations in physiological performance and optimally prevent nutrition-related health problems.

Instructions for proper use
Horses (500 kg): 50 g per day
Weanlings, young horses and ponies: 30 g per day
Foals (31. to 120. day): 20 g per day
Foals (7. to 30. day): 10 g per day
given with the feed or dissolved in liquid. Due to the higher amount of trace elements,
the daily ration should not be more than doubled.
The dosages for foals and young horses refer to medium-sized breeds (adult horse 500 kg) and should be adjusted if necessary.
Feeding period
For maximum effectiveness, initial application should be in the form of a treatment lasting at least four weeks. Subsequent feeding for a longer period or every other day year-round should not pose any problems and is beneficial. The dosages for foals and young horses refer to medium-sized breeds (adult horse 500 kg) and should be adjusted if necessary.
General findings of nutritional science
Iron is essential for the formation of red blood and muscle pigments (hemoglobin and myoglobin). Hemoglobin transports oxygen from the lungs to all tissues in the red blood cells; in the muscle cells, myoglobin takes over the oxygen and makes it available for muscle work. Iron deficiency disrupts this oxygen supply, leading to rideability problems, reduced performance, and fatigue. As the deficiency progresses, it can cause damage to the heart, lungs, and muscles.
Silicon, methionine and vitamin C ensure strong and elastic blood vessel walls. This is crucial for the horse's performance, as blood pressure in the pulmonary capillaries can rise to up to 300 mm Hg during high exertion. In untrained horses or in horses with pre-existing damage to their blood vessels, e.g. due to infections, this often leads to the capillaries bursting (“pulmonary hemorrhage”).
Vitamin C, E, selenium, zinc and procyanidins from grape seed flour offer special protection against inflammation and infection in the pulmonary capillaries and promote healing after vascular damage.
Copper supports iron in hemoglobin synthesis. A deficiency increases the risk of vascular rupture (pulmonary hemorrhage)..
Vitamin K3 is an essential component of blood clotting and, like copper, protects the blood vessels in the lungs from damage during periods of high stress.
Vitamin B12 and cobalt promote blood formation.
Folic acid plays an essential role in the formation and maturation of red and white blood cells.
INFOBOX
The trace element iron in horses
The trace element iron plays a central role in the formation of the red blood and muscle pigments hemoglobin and myoglobin. Both take over the transport of oxygen into the cells involved in the energy process (oxygen is required for the physiological combustion process). With a balanced diet, the horse's iron requirement is adequately covered. However, iron deficiency can occur in horses. This is caused by parasite infestation, subcutaneous bleeding (e.g. stomach ulcers), tumor diseases or heavy blood loss. In rare cases, chronic diseases such as Lyme disease also lead to an iron deficiency in the blood count of horses. As iron is partly responsible for transporting oxygen to the muscles, extra doses tend to boost performance. The first signs of iron deficiency anemia are frequent yawning, increased susceptibility to infections and poor performance.
