Complementary feed for horses

Tryptophan (calmness) and magnesium (nerve strength) for effective stress shielding.

Application

EQUIPUR - tryptomag effectively compensates for feed-related deficiencies in tryptophan (internal tension), magnesium (nervousness), and B vitamins (poor concentration). This results in an overall effect on stress resistance and nervous system performance that far exceeds the effect of the individual components. The result is inner peace and calmness with a simultaneous increase in motivation, concentration, and well-being.

In cases of severe mental stress, twice the amount may be given.

Feeding period

For maximum effectiveness, feeding should begin at least 10 days before stressful events (tournaments, competitions, etc.). Feeding over a longer period of time is beneficial and improves results.

General findings of nutritional science

Horses often react with fear to unfamiliar circumstances or stress, such as a new environment, transport, competitions, or frightening situations. If their social contacts are restricted and their urge to move is not satisfied, this can lead to behavioral disorders and frustration. Both frustration and fear ultimately manifest themselves in horses becoming unfocused, restless, and “jittery,” no longer willing to cooperate, or becoming tense and uptight.

However, this also gives the following two starting points: For frustrated and restless horses, their well-being must be improved; for fearful animals, the stimulus threshold must be set as high as possible.

Tryptophan, an essential amino acid, is the raw material for the happiness hormone serotonin. Increased tryptophan intake raises serotonin levels in the brain, which leads to increased motivation and well-being; the horses become more relaxed.

Magnesium has a regulating, i.e. inhibitory effect on the transmission of nerve impulses in the brain without reducing performance or dulling attention.

B vitamins play a key role in the energy metabolism of nerve and brain cells and are essential for prolonged, concentrated work by the horse.

Vitamin E and C develop their protective effect as “antioxidants” against aggressive harmful substances, particularly in the area of sensitive nerve and brain cells. Concentration and memory are thus significantly improved, and the psyche is strengthened.

INFOBOX

Nerves like steel – what role does the amino acid tryptophan play in horses?

Tryptophan or L-tryptophan is one of the essential amino acids, i.e. it should be provided to the horse through its feed. Among other things, this amino acid is involved in the production of the so-called "happiness hormone" and is converted into the body's own neurotransmitter serotonin. This is one reason why anxious, aggressive, traumatized or jumpy horses should be fed higher doses of L-tryptophan. Feeding L-tryptophan can balance out mood swings in horses. As there is very little L-tryptophan in hay and straw, deficiencies can occur when feeding only roughage.
