Boron - Feed Ingredient
Boron is a trace mineral naturally present in soil, water, and plant-based feedstuffs. It is not officially classified as an essential nutrient for horses, but it is recognized for its involvement in various biological processes in other species, particularly in bone metabolism and cell membrane function.
In equine nutrition, boron is occasionally included in supplements, often in the form of borate compounds such as sodium borate or boric acid. Its use is typically limited to targeted formulations, such as those aimed at supporting bone development or joint health, although definitive equine-specific requirements and benefits have not been fully established.
Forage and water generally provide background levels of boron sufficient for horses.
The following equine feeds, supplements and products contain Boron as an ingredient.
