PRO COPPER
DESCRIPTION
PRO COPPER contains high levels of chelated copper with supporting chelated iron and manganese which is involved in energy production, iron metabolism, connective tissue formation, central nervous system function and melanin production.
Copper deficiency is one of the most common deficiencies in equine diets. Copper has a major influence on fertility in mares, elasticity of tissues and skin condition. Mares, foals and growing horses need copper for correct bone development and structure, as bone collagen is one of the structures that relies on the presence of copper to develop correctly.
Pro Copper plays a major role in the elasticity of muscle and tissue. It is designed by leading nutritionists as a complimentary chelated copper supplement for a copper deficient diet. Copper is one of the most important microminerals for horse health and development.
IS YOUR HORSE GETTING ENOUGH? If you only feed forage and a small to medium amount of concentrated feed then probably not! One of the most obvious signs of copper deficiency is a change in coat colour due to loss of pigmentation. The coat might appear discoloured with a reddish or yellow tinge. Copper can also cause anamia and weakened blood vessels, bones or joints in adult sport and racehorses.
Breeding stock on pasture with high Molybdenum, Sulphur, Iron or Zinc levels are at a higher risk of copper deficiency as they can interfere with copper absorption. Many scientific studies have shown that Copper supplementation of mares was associated with a significant reduction in epiphysitis and DODS in their foals. Lysyl oxidise is a copper utilising enzyme that is responsible for cross-linking of collagen and elastin in connecting tissues. Without this cross-linking, the tissues' strenght and flexibility is reduced. Therefore Copper is vital for the integrity of connective tissue as well as the formation of new bones which requires collagen matrix.
Copper and Zinc levels need to be carefully balanced with each other to ensure proper absorption of both minerals from the digestive tract. A 3:1 ratio of zinc to copper is recommended for most horses.
Pro Copper is a boost for the general health of breeding stock and all horses. Copper is an important trace mineral for the health of the whole horse. It is essential for proper functioning of enzymes involved in the synthesis and maintenance of elastic tissue, mobilisation of iron stores, preservation of the integrity of the mitochondria, proper skeletal growth and development.
Vitamin E is a vital antioxidant and this combined with Vitamin B12 aids correct muscle function and protects cell membranes in mares, foals and performance horses.
Pro Copper helps in the creation of red blood cells which carry oxygen throughout the body of the horse and to the muscles. It promotes a healthy coat and strong hoof growth. Manufactured in our NOPS approved facility.
