Calcium and phosphorous are two of the most important macro-minerals in terms of quantity required by horses, but it is the ratio of these elements which is crucial.
This is particularly important where horses are fed a diet with high grain intake as grains can have a ratio of phosphorous to calcium as high as 6 to 1. Calcium is essential for development of strong bones.
Regular feeding of Cal-Phos can assist in the maintenance of a balanced ratio of 2 calcium to 1 of phosphorous in the diet as a whole and can help to supply essential salt and lactating mares.
