Salt is an important part of the horse's daily diet and plays a crucial role in maintaining the body's fluid and salt balance. Forage contains very little sodium, which makes a supplement in the form of pure salt essential to meet basic needs.
A daily salt supplement helps the horse maintain proper hydration, supports normal nerve and muscle function, and encourages sufficient water intake. A lack of salt can lead to serious consequences, such as fatigue, reduced performance, poor appetite, or in the worst case, colic.
The need for salt increases especially during hot days, training, and competition, or if the horse suffers from loose stools or diarrhea. Trikem’s Salt is a simple and pure way to provide exactly what the body needs – without additives or unnecessary ingredients. The product is suitable for all types of horses, regardless of age or activity level.
When does your horse’s salt requirement increase?
- With increased sweating, such as during exercise
- During summer or in a warm stable environment
- In cases of loose stools or diarrhea
- When the horse drinks poorly or shows signs of fatigue
Why should you give Salt daily:
- Supports fluid and electrolyte balance
- Reduces the risk of colic and poor performance
Dosage:
Large horse (500 kg): 30–50 ml per day
Pony (250 kg): 15–25 ml per day
The dosage should be adjusted based on temperature, activity level, and the horse’s individual needs. The lower dose corresponds to daily maintenance needs, while the higher is recommended for increased fluid loss.
