Sweat Up is for one specific problem: anhidrosis, the loss of the ability to sweat properly. Mitavite describe the presentation as a combination of high respiration rate, poor or absent sweating, dull coat, scaly skin and crumbly, brittle hooves. It is a formulation of electrolytes, minerals and omega-3 fatty acids with a strong zinc component, designed partly to induce thirst.
Read that carefully before buying: this is not a general electrolyte replacer for a horse that sweats normally. A horse sweating hard in work needs a straight electrolyte such as Relyte. A non-sweater in an Australian summer is a genuine welfare risk and should be seen by a vet as well as managed nutritionally.
Three pack sizes: 1kg, 3kg and 10kg.

Feed at the rate printed on the pack — Mitavite do not publish a rate online and recommend a consultation with their nutrition team. Always provide free access to clean water, and manage a non-sweating horse's work and shade carefully in hot weather.
