Mad Barn Manganese Supplement 1kg
Product Code:566182115
Mad Barn Manganese supplement is used to support healthy cartilage, efficient carbohydrate and fat metabolism, and to protect horses from oxidative stress. Bioplex manganese is a highly absorbable form of this essential mineral and provides 15% elemental manganese without additives.
In horses and other mammals, manganese is essential for proper formation of chondroitin sulfate – a key component of cartilage. It is also important for the development of strong bones.
Severe manganese deficiency is rare and not well described in horses. Young growing animals are most at risk of manganese deficiency which could cause problems related to unusual bone formation such as enlarged joints, crooked limbs, and abnormal cartilage formation which have been observed in cows and pigs. Manganese toxicity has not been demonstrated in horses.
Supplemental manganese may be required for performance horses exercising at a heavy workload or for horses on a high grain diet. The average requirement for a 500 kg horse is between 400 – 500 mg per day.
Forage is a good source of manganese for your horse and provides between 40 to 300 ppm (mg/kg). However, grains like barley and oats have lower content, ranging from 5 ppm to 15 ppm. If you are feeding a high-grain diet you may want to assess the manganese content to ensure your horse has optimal manganese intake.
