Balanced Equine Nutrition, Monosodium phosphate MSP
Monosodium phosphate (MSP) is a quality source of phosphorus for horses – human food grade – 22.5% phosphorus
An ideal way to supplement phosphorus without adding additional calcium. Especially useful for intakes that are already high in calcium. Very low iron, recommended by Dr Eleanor Kellon VMD.
2 sizes
Small: net weight = 2.9 kg
Large: net weight = 4.9 kg10 grams will provide 2.25 grams phosphorus
Phosphorus along with calcium and magnesium are known as the major minerals. Copper, zinc, iron, manganese, selenium and iodine are trace minerals. In a horse’s nutrient intake, either phosphorus can be at too low a level compared to the NRC (National Research Council) daily recommendations AND/OR the calcium to phosphorus ratio can be too high. Whichever one applies, the diet won’t be optimal.
Caution:
There is no standard recommended feeding rate.
