Calcium Carbonate (Limestone Flour) is a natural, budget-friendly source of calcium providing 39.4% elemental calcium. It is included to contribute to normal calcium intake in horses where dietary calcium levels require targeted nutritional support.
Calcium is an essential macro-mineral that plays a fundamental nutritional role in normal bone and skeletal development, normal muscle function, normal nerve transmission, and normal metabolic processes. Maintaining correct calcium ratios in relation to other key minerals — particularly phosphorus and magnesium — is an important consideration in equine nutrition.
Key Ingredient
-
Calcium Carbonate (39.4% elemental calcium) — A natural calcium source included to contribute to normal bone and skeletal health, normal muscle function, normal nerve transmission, and the maintenance of correct calcium to phosphorus and calcium to magnesium ratios in the diet. An ideal calcium to phosphorus ratio is 2:1, and an ideal calcium to magnesium ratio is also 2:1.
Nutritional Support For
- Horses requiring additional calcium nutritional support
- Horses on high cereal diets where calcium to phosphorus ratios may be imbalanced
- Horses on forage-based diets where balancing mineral ratios to forage analysis is important
- Growing horses, youngstock, and breeding stock with elevated calcium requirements
- All horses and ponies as part of a precision mineral balancing programme
