GrowthFix is aimed at two specific problems: young horses growing fast enough that skeletal development can go wrong, and horses of any age grazing high-oxalate tropical grasses where calcium absorption is blocked. Oxalate country — setaria, buffel, kikuyu, pangola — is the reason bighead appears in otherwise well-fed horses, and a calcium supplement is the standard answer. It is a targeted mineral supplement, not a full daily balancer.
Two sizes: 1kg and 2kg. For the full breeding and growing balancer see BreedPlus.
Benefits
- Calcium and phosphorus — tricalcium phosphate and magnesium phosphate as the mineral base.
- For oxalate pastures — intended for horses on high-oxalate country or with suspected poor calcium absorption.
- Skeletal development — supports normal bone and cartilage growth in young horses.
- Certified organic kelp — King Island Durvillea organic kelp included.
- Low feeding rate — 8g a day for a 500kg horse.
