July/August/September Arizona Thoroughbred 3 Performance horses need more electrolytes Electrolytes are essential nutrients for the performance horse. Since horses lose large quantities of electrolytes in sweat, requirements increase with exercise intensity and sweat loss. By Joe D. Pagan* Electrolytes are a critical component of a performance horse’s feeding program since they play an important role Total daily electrolyte requirements (g/day) as a in maintaining osmotic pressure, fluid balance and nerve function of sweat loss and muscle activity.

In contrast, most forage is high in potassium and, when Because most electrolyte losses in the horse occur fed in adequate quantities, will meet daily potassium through sweating, one method of calculating electrolyte requirements. requirements can be based on different amounts of sweat loss. The Table contains the levels of sodium, chloride and Sodium chloride (salt) offered as a free-choice block potassium electrolytes required per day by a horse at rest or top-dressed onto grain, along with adequate forage, and after exercising hard enough to lose 5, 10, 20 and 40 will meet the electrolyte requirements of idle and lightly liters of sweat. exercised horses.
