Sodium - Feed Ingredient

Sodium is an essential macromineral required by horses for maintaining fluid balance, nerve function, and muscle contractions. It plays a central role in osmotic regulation and is involved in the transmission of nerve impulses and the absorption of nutrients in the small intestine. In the equine body, sodium is primarily found in extracellular fluids.

In equine nutrition, sodium is typically supplied through common salt (sodium chloride) or as part of electrolyte supplements. Natural forage diets are often deficient in sodium, making supplementation necessary for most horses, especially those in work or in hot climates where sodium is lost through sweat.

The following equine feeds, supplements and products contain Sodium as an ingredient.
