Kohnke Cell Vital
Cell-Vital is a multi-vitamin and trace-mineral supplement which is ideal for resting or working horses when their diet is low or inadequate in nutrients required for overall health and vitality.
Cell-Vital is highly economical and easy to feed many different horses, even if they are in various levels of training. It is suitable to balance all types of diets, especially as a top-up for a commercial feed diet of pelleted or mixed hard feeds which have reduced levels of the top quality micronutrients provided by Cell-Vital.
Cell-Vital is designed to offset any loss of nutrients common during the processing and storage of grains, chaff, hay or prepared feeds. The concentrated dose ensures a nutritionally balanced diet, with results you can really see in your horse’s coat colour and intensity, performance and well-being.
The specific levels of magnesium, vitamin B1 (thiamine), vitamin E and tryptophan may help to actively reduce the stress response during training, travelling and competition. With thiamine’s important role in energy metabolism and nerve transmission, and tryptophan’s role in the inhibition of stress and fear, deficiencies of these nutrients may cause anxiety, mental confusion and failure of muscle coordination. On top of this, magnesium has been found to reduce reactivity in horses.
Remember, there are many factors that can cause undesirable behaviour in horses including diet, age, training, housing, pain and digestive conditions. It is best to discuss your horse’s diet and history to determine whether changes in feeding and management practices are also required to reduce anxious behaviour. To help manage nervous horses, try providing constant access to forage, small meals and reduce starch/sugar in the diet. Also, decreasing stable time and providing equine company is very beneficial for mental health.
