General findings of nutritional science
Vitamin B12 is involved in enzymatic reactions in nerve tissue for the formation and maintenance of nerve cells. A deficiency results in a reduction in the function and performance of the entire nervous system, which can lead to sensory disturbances, increased reflexes and uncoordinated movement sequences. Vitamin B12 also influences protein metabolism and growth, promotes the development of red blood cells and stimulates the appetite. This can lead to changes in the blood count of young horses, which can manifest themselves in the form of reduced growth, debilitation and fatty liver degeneration.
In adult horses, it takes longer for deficiency symptoms such as anemia, coarse coat, poor fertility, loss of appetite and performance depression to appear. It is therefore very important in the case of anemia, metabolic disorders, loss of appetite, performance depression and to support iron therapy to compensate for the resulting increased need for vitamin B12.
Dextrose is an energy-rich carrier that serves to quickly compensate for any deficits in the energy balance.
Corn starch produces a steady stream of energy that is used to work muscles or replenish glycogen stores.
INFOBOX
Vitamin B12 (cobalamin) in horses
Among the water-soluble vitamins, vitamin B12 is one of the vitamins that is actually synthesized by the horse itself. In particular, it is microorganisms in the digestive tract that produce this vitamin. It is assumed that this cobalamin produced in the digestive tract is only absorbed to a limited extent and is therefore available to the metabolism. Vitamin B12 is only found in very small amounts in plants - one reason why vitamin B12 is not missing from any mineral feed. Among other things, the B vitamin is involved in blood formation and the breakdown of fatty acids. If there is a deficiency (vitamin B12 can be determined via the blood count), reduced protein synthesis, anaemia, performance deficits, a shaggy coat and susceptible skin as well as growth disorders are not uncommon in young horses. Horses with impaired digestion also have a reduced vitamin B12 metabolism. All the more reason to give horses with digestive problems additional vitamin B12.
