Description
Cal-XTRA provides high strength additional calcium and important bone minerals in cases where extra is needed, for example, during bone regeneration, or when rapidly growing tropical grasses are the dominant pasture type available to the horse.
- Horses in QLD and NT, where tropical and subtropical grasses such as setaria, para, buffel, pangola, kikuya, couch grass and green panic are at high levels in the pastures
- Horses in parts of NSW and VIC where kikuyu has invaded the pastures in coastal regions, causing osteoporosis and Big Head in horses even when owners don’t suspect it could be a problem
- In spring and summer (or for fertilised pastures), when grass growth is rapid and tropical grasses contain higher levels of oxalates
- Horses consuming predominately Teff hay or pangola hay which may contain high levels of oxalate chemicals
- For bone mineral needs in horses with high phytate dietary sources (including bran and certain grains)
- For horses with extra bone mineral needs, including those in regular work and with low lucerne diets.
- For horses suffering from bone demineralisation or Big Head.
