Why do horses need phosphorus?
Phosphorus is an essential mineral, particularly for:
* Bone, joints skeletal development & repair
* Carbohydrate metabolism (metabolism is the process by which food is used to produce energy) >>>>>> muscle fuel & energy
* The body's energy systems (ATP, ADP & Creatine phosphate)
Horse do horses get phosphorus?
Phosphorus is not produced by the body, it must be externally supplied:
* In grains, hay & roughage
* As phosphorus supplements i.e. mono sodium phosphate
* As inorganic phosphorus (the most available phosphorus) Richtafort 125 phosphorus supplement + Vitamin B12 injection.
* Phosphorus from grains, hay & roughage is variable. The absorption of oral phosphorus is low (30-50%)
Why does the athletic horse need more phosphorus?
* To replace phosphorus used up at all levels of exercise (slow & fast work, walking, swimming etc).
* To replace phosphorus consumed at racing.
* For bone, cartilage & joints.
How is muscular energy produced in the body?
The immediate source of muscular energy, includes compounds that require phosphorus for their formation. These include adenosine triphosphare (ATP) & glycogen. ATP is the immediate fuel for all muscular reaction & must be present in the muscle cell at all times. Creatine phosphate is a major storage form of high energy phosphates in the muscle. Creatine phosphate is required for muscular contractions. It is reported to delay the onset of muscular fatigue.
How to use Richtafort
* Begin treating horses with Richtafort when they start racing.
* Treat horses regularly with Richtafort (once a week)
* Treat with Richtafort after the racing to replace phosphorus "used up" by muscular activity.
* Treat horses that are "picky & poor eaters" with Richtafort.
