Many sport horses receive little to no concentrated feed for a variety of reasons. They may for example be oversensitive to sugar and carbs, hyperactive, overweight, or obtain their energy in the form of grains such as barley, oats, spelt, etc. This is not a problem in and of itself, as long as they still get all the nutrients they need. Sport horses require even higher levels of certain vitamins and minerals than recreational horses. For example, those vitamins and minerals that provide muscle support or protection, or water-soluble vitamins, as these horses drink and sweat more. Cavalor NutriPlus supplies all these nutrients, allowing the horse to perform at its best. Cavalor NutriPlus should be given alongside sufficient amounts of roughage, possibly in addition to grains for horses that need extra energy.

In StockIn StockComing SoonCavalor Nutri Plus contains daily essential vitamins, minerals and nutrients your sport horse requires to perform at its best.
Contains a powerful blend of nutrients to support the locomotor system and general condition of sports horses. Cavalor Nutri Plus is formulated to meet the needs of sports horses. It contains all the vitamins, minerals, trace elements, electrolytes, fatty acids and amino acids that are essential for a sports horse to develop its optimum performance. Macro-minerals such as calcium and magnesium, and electrolytes including potassium, sodium and chlorine are important to support good muscle and nervous system function.
Vitamin D, manganese and anti-oxidants including selenium and vitamins E and C also ensure improved muscle function.
B vitamins are water-soluble vitamins. They are added in large quantities because sports horses drink more and lose more fluids. They play an important role in energy metabolism and are therefore vital to sports horses.
Folic acid is key for the production of red blood cells and is consequently crucial for optimum condition. On top of this, we take into account the nutrients that are already in roughage. So, for example, we do not add any extra iron, because roughage already contains large amounts of iron. Absorption, availability and stability as distinguishing factors. It is not only the quantity of nutrients that is important, and the balance between certain minerals is also very important. In fact, too much of a certain substance may interfere with the absorption of others. For example, too much iron can keep copper and zinc from being absorbed properly. Both the chelated form and the covalently bound hydroxy form were chosen for the source of copper, zinc and manganese because on the one hand they are more easily absorbed and on the other they remain more stable.
The vitamins are separated from the trace elements in the product to optimise the stability of Cavalor Nutri Plus even further. This keeps them from reacting with each other. The green pellets contain vitamins and minerals, while the beige pellets contain trace elements. These pellets are mixed perfectly homogeneously, ensuring that the horse receives the proper amount of each nutrient. Low in energy and protein for the ideal supplement to a diet containing only roughage.
Grass and hay are often rich in energy and protein, but rarely contain sufficient vitamins and minerals. Cavalor Nutri plus is formulated to provide the ideal supplement to a diet consisting only of roughage.
Furthermore, if horses are given less than the recommended amount of concentrated feed for fear that it would be too “heating” or if energy is provided in the form of simple grains such as barley, oats and wheat, it is worth considering whether the ration contains all that the horse needs. Cavalor Nutri Plus contains no extra energy or protein, so it is non-heating and won’t make your horse or pony fat.
Feed Cavalor Nutri Plus daily when the ration does not contain sufficient nutrients. Giving a horse vitamins and minerals just once makes no sense.
Dosage per animal per day:
Ponies and recreational horses: 100 g
Sport horses: 150 g
TIP: If the horse receives more than 1.5 kg of concentrated feed per day, halve the dosage.
1 measuring scoop = 100 g
Maximum per horse: 400 g
TIP: Cavalor Nutri Plus is a highly concentrated source of vitamins and minerals, so that only a small daily dose is needed. If horses are difficult about taking this, it is advisable to mix it with a little concentrated feed.
