Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What is Epsom Salt Supplement used for in horses?

Ans: It provides a supplemental source of dietary magnesium for horses. Magnesium improves normal muscle and nervous system function. Horses deficient in this mineral may show poor work tolerance, nervousness, excitability, and muscle tremors when under physical or environmental stress.

Q2: Can I give more if my horse sweats heavily?

Ans: Yes, for horses that sweat a lot, increase the amount to 1.5 to 2 times the standard recommended feeding amount. However, do not exceed four or more times the recommended amount, as this may cause a laxative effect in your horse.

Q3: What are the signs of magnesium deficiency in horses?

Ans: Horses deficient in magnesium may show poor tolerance to work, nervousness, wariness, excitability, and muscle tremors. They may also be sensitive to environmental stress. Supplementing with a magnesium source can help address these signs when a dietary shortfall is the cause.

Q4: Can overfeeding this supplement cause side effects?

Ans: Yes, feeding four or more times the recommended daily amount may create a laxative effect in horses. If you are unsure about the correct amount, consult your veterinarian before adjusting the daily feeding quantity.

Q6: How long does a 5 lb pail last?

Ans: Duration depends on the horse's body weight and daily dosage. For a mid-sized horse at one scoop per day, a 5 lb pail contains approximately 240 scoops, offering several months of supply. Larger horses or those needing higher doses will go through it more quickly.
