When is magnesium for horses required?

Magnesium for horses is usually required during rapid pasture growth such as perennial rye grass, where a large concentration of N, P, K (known as nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium) is taken up by the grass roots and therefore becomes contained in the grass consumed by your horse. The grass requires these elements in abundance to grow. However, these spikes of N, P, K cause imbalances in other minerals by causing competition for uptake, namely sodium and magnesium, which become low (in shortfall).

Therefore, when pasture growth is rapid i.e. spring and autumn – the addition of salt (sodium chloride) and magnesium should be administered to correct levels and make up nutritional shortfalls. This will rebalance your horses’ nutritional levels and also flush through unwanted excess of nitrogen and potassium in your horse’s system (by feeding sodium chloride) and (by feeding magnesium) re-establish normal levels of magnesium this will in turn, relax muscles and nerves.
