Kohnke’s Own Cal-Xtra – Calcium Supplement for Horses on Oxalate Pastures
Kohnke’s Own Cal-Xtra is a concentrated calcium supplement designed for horses grazing on oxalate-rich pastures, as well as horses in training and growing horses. It provides an optimal blend of calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium to correct deficiencies and support strong, healthy bones.
Why Choose Cal-Xtra?
Oxalate compounds found in many tropical grasses bind calcium, reducing its absorption and potentially leading to Nutritional Secondary Hyperparathyroidism (NSH), also known as ‘Big Head’. Cal-Xtra is formulated to counteract this by delivering an acidified, highly available source of bone minerals.
Key Benefits
- Concentrated source of calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium in an ideal ratio
- Acidified formulation for improved calcium uptake in the small intestine
- Includes vitamins A and D to aid calcium absorption and bone health
- Low-dust, fenugreek-flavoured formula for excellent feed acceptance
- Helps prevent calcium deficiency in horses grazing high-oxalate pastures
Feeding Directions
Mix Cal-Xtra into the hard feed once daily. For best results, feed hard rations and any lucerne or legume hay in a bin or yard to avoid mixing oxalates from pasture with supplemented calcium during feeding.
