EPSOM SALTS - Magnesium
Sulphate
Has been used for
centuries to cleanse the gut especially on days of rest when mixed with a
bran mash. Useful whenever the hind gut needs clearing fast, for example
with an acute case of laminitis when the toxins being given off from
overloaded stagnant guts give rise to the onset of this painful condition.
Another age old use has been to optimize a white coat. More recently it has
a new role in aiding at times of high pollen count - magnesium is thought
to be the active agent here.
Feeding
10g (20g at high pollen
count times) per 100kg bodyweight best divided between 2 feeds daily.
1kg will last an average
500kg, 16.2hh horse about 20 days. No banned substances under rules.
