Inorganic Minerals - Feed Database

Manganese sulfate 5H2O is a supplemental source of manganese that is added to equine diets. Manganese is an essential trace mineral involved in bone growth, antioxidant status, and metabolic processes.

Manganese sulfate is an inorganic form of the trace mineral manganese. It is commonly added to equine diets to support growth, immune function, antioxidant protection and metabolic health.

Monosodium Phosphate is a bioavailable source of phosphorus used in equine supplements. Phosphorus is an important component of healthy bones and supports metabolic function and cell health.

Ground oyster shells are sometimes used in livestock feeds as a soluble source of calcium. It is primarily used in the diets of egg-laying chickens.

Defluorinated phosphate is a natural source of the macromineral phosphorus that is heated to remove flourine. Phosphorus supports bone health and is critical for energy metabolism.

Phosphate is a naturally occurring form of the macromineral phosphorus. Inorganic phosphate is extracted from mined rock. It is added to equine feeds to support bone health, energy utilization and metabolic functions.

Phosphate is a natural inorganic source of the mineral phosphorus, which is important for bone health and metabolic processes. Phosphate is typically derived from mining rock. Some sources have low fluorine or are defluorinated.

Inorganic phosphate for animal feeds is derived from mining rock. Phosphorus is an important macromineral for supporting bone health and metabolic processes in horses.

Phosphoric acid (also known as orthophosphoric acid) is a liquid phosphorus source that is safe to add to animal feeds. Phosphorus is a macromineral that supports bone health and metabolic processes.

Potassium bicarbonate is a source of potassium used in electrolyte supplements. Horses in heavy exercise or hot climates benefit from electrolytes to support hydration and ion balance.

Potassium carbonate is a form of potassium that is added to equine products to support electrolyte balance. Horses in heavy exercise or hot climates benefit from electrolyte supplementation to replenish minerals lost in sweat.

Potassium chloride is an ingredient commonly added to equine electrolyte supplements to replenish potassium levels following exercise. This mineral is important for nerve and muscle function as well as maintaining ion balance.

Potassium iodide is a supplemental source of the minerals potassium and iodine used in animal feeds. Potassium is an important electrolyte in the horse's body. Iodine is a micromineral that supports thyroid function.

Potassium sorbate is a preservative added to feeds to prevent mold growth. It is a naturally occurring unsaturated fatty acid.

Potassium sulfate is a supplemental source of potassium added to equine feeds. Potassium is an electrolyte mineral critical for nerve and muscle function, and for maintaining ion balance.

Remission Hoof Supplement is an equine supplement composed of amino acids, vitamins and minerals to support hoof health. It provides 20 mg of biotin per serving.

Sodium bentonite is natural clay that is used as a binder in animal feeds. It is also purported to bind toxins and minerals in the digestive tract.

Sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) is commonly used as an ingredient in soap and other cleaners. It may act as an antacid when ingested with water.

Sodium Selenate is an inorganic form of the trace mineral selenium sometimes used in equine feeds. Inorganic sources of selenium pose a greater risk of toxicity compared to organic selenized yeast.

Sodium Selenite (Na2SeO3) is an inorganic selenium supplement that is commonly used in equine feeds. There is a greater concern of selenotoxicity with inorganic versus organic sources of this trace mineral.

Refined sodium sesquicarbonate is an alkalizing agent that is fed as a ruminant buffer. It is not commonly used in the equine diet.

Sodium sesquicarbonate is a source of sodium added to animal feeds. It can be used as a rumen buffer. This additive is not commonly fed to horses.

Sodium Sulfate Decahydrate is also known as Glauber Salts or sal mirabilis. It is used in horses as a natural laxative supplement to support gut health and alleviate colic.

Sodium Tri-Poly Phosphate (STPP) is used as a phosphorus source in equine nutrition. It is not as common as Monosodium Phosphate.

Sport Horse Grass is a pelleted vitamin, mineral, and amino acid supplement intended for performance horses consuming a grass-based diet. This supplement is intended to support muscular function, joint/tendon maintenance, and recovery.

Sulfur is an important macromineral required to support antioxidant status and protein synthesis, including collagen and keratin production. Pure sulfur is not fed to horses. Common sources of this mineral include MSM, methionine, and cysteine.

Tricalcium phosphate (TCP) is a calcium and phosphorus source derived from bone, mineral rock or milk. TCP can be used to supplement calcium and phosphorus in equine diets, but it is less common than dicalcium phosphate.

U-Gard® Pellets is a gut health supplement for performance horses with gastric ulcers. It contains calcium and magnesium which can buffer stomach acid to increase gastric pH.

Vermont Blend by Custom Equine Nutrition is a supplement intended to balance out the deficiencies when a horse is solely fed grass hay. It contains amino acids, biotin and minerals such as copper and magnesium.

Vermont Blend Pro is a forage balancer and hoof supplement with added yeast cultures. It uses organic sources of copper and zinc. It has a lower feeding rate than the original Vermont Blend.

Vermont Blend Pro No Selenium by Custom Equine Nutrition is a supplement containing no added selenium intended for horses with diets that already contain adequate amounts of this trace mineral.

Wellness Grow Right® is a textured feed targeted to horses of all life stages. It is composed of digestible fiber sources such as soyhulls and beet pulp. It contains added vitamins, organic and inorganic trace minerals, and probiotics.

Zinc Carbonate (ZnCO3) is an inorganic source of the essential trace mineral zinc. It has lower bioavailability compared to organic, chelated forms of zinc.

Zinc Chloride (ZnCl2) is an inorganic source of the trace mineral zinc. It generally has lower bioavailability than organic sources of zinc.
