Description
Equine America Apple Lytes
- As horses work and sweat they lose vital electrolytes and mineral salts.
- At low levels these can be replaced with Sodium Chloride (salt) but, if the horse is in medium to hard work and sweating on a daily basis, an electrolyte supplement must be provided. Without electrolytes, the horse will feel lethargic, and a continuation of this loss is highly detrimental to the horse’s health.
- As the main electrolyte is a salt (sodium chloride) it is important to use a salt based product (not a solution) as it is not possible to suspend enough of the mineral salts needed within a solution. We also advise against dextrose based electrolytes.
- Apple Lytes® is a salt-based product which can be added to the feed on a daily basis.
- For high level competition and endurance events, Apple Lytes® are also available in a handy syringe for instant replenishment of electrolytes.
- Electrolytes should not be fed to a dehydrated horse – always ensure water has been ingested first, and that the horse has recovered from exercise.
Apple Lytes® was formulated by Bruce Snipes, creator of Cortaflex®, who pioneered the feeding of electrolytes to horses in the 1960’s.
