Vitamin
C is vital for the support of the immune system
also having many other beneficial effects on
the body and is required on a daily basis. Fresh
oranges and fruits are a great source and the
addition of sliced apples and carrots to feeds
during winter is a great idea. Cider apple vinegar
is also a wonderful source and has so many other
health benefits it should be a ‘must’ on every
equine owners list. However, sometimes it is
necessary to turn to a more compact source and
Ascorbic Acid fits this bill. This is what you
might buy from a health food shop as a vitamin
C supplement and we have it in powder form for
easy use in horse feeds. Used at the rate of
10g a day, 1Kg will last an average 500kg 16.2hh
horse about 100 days. |
