Equine Vitamin E Supplement by Madbarn Read more.
Vitamin E is essential for equine immune function, cardiovascular health, muscle function, exercise recovery and neurological health. Vitamin E is best known for its role as an antioxidant in horses, protecting all cells and tissues from oxidative damage. Our Natural Vitamin E supplement provides this nutrient in a form that is most efficiently absorbed and utilized in tissues.
Our bulk natural Vitamin E also offers exceptional value, with an easy-to-feed formulation that can be adjusted to provide your horse with the exact dosage they need. At a typical feeding rate of 1.67 grams (1000 IU) per day, a 500 gram package will last approximately 300 days.
NUTRITIONAL REQUIREMENT
Vitamin E must be included in the horse’s diet, as their bodies cannot synthesize it internally. A mature horse weighing 500 kg (1,100 lb) requires a minimum of 500 IU of vitamin E daily.
However, senior horses and those affected by illnesses or certain neurological conditions may benefit from higher levels. Equine athletes engaging in high-intensity exercise have elevated vitamin E requirements to support their demanding physical activity.
Grazing pasture is generally a good source of Vitamin E for horses because this vitamin is abundant in fresh grasses and legumes. However, once the plant is cut to make hay, the Vitamin E content begins to degrade.
