Magnesium is an essential dietary mineral that is often deficient in the horse's body. It is essential for normal energy storage and enzyme activity. It is a low iron form of magnesium that is readily available to the horse, and helps buffer high acid conditions in the stomach.
Magnesium is involved in over 250 separate body reactions in the horse. In many cases it serves to naturally balance the actions of calcium
A magnesium supplement may be indicated for both absolute and relative deficiencies in horses. An absolute deficiency is when the total magnesium intake is below the minimum recommended for the horse. A relative deficiency is when high levels of calcium or phosphorus may interfere with magnesium absorption. Horses on high intakes of fat may also benefit from a magnesium supplement since fat and magnesium combine in the intestinal tract to form nonabsorbable soaps.
The dosage of magnesium supplement is ideally based first on analysis of the diet but knowledge of regional mineral profiles in forages can also be used. In most areas a dose of 5000 to 10,000 mg of magnesium is a good starting point.
