Pavo ProteinPlusDietary protein deficit supplement

About Pavo ProteinPlus

With a low-grade fodder, a grain-free diet, or where there is an increased protein requirement (e.g. for sports horses or older horses) your horse will often not be receiving enough protein to meet its daily requirements. Pavo ProteinPlus allows you to supplement their diet with purely essential amino acids (protein). This is the easy way to supplement a dietary protein deficit to support the general health of your horse, without otherwise affecting the diet.

Why horses must have sufficient proteins 

Proteins comprise separate building blocks, known as amino acids, and are critical for all kinds of processes within the body. Proteins strengthen the immune system, promote coat and hoof growth in your horse, and allow cell renewal. Moreover, proteins are essential for muscle development and the regulation of hormonal functions, but also for growth of foals and lactation in broodmares. Sufficient protein in the diet is therefore not just important for the muscles as many people believe, but is essential for the all-round health of a horse.

When supplementing the diet with protein is advisable

The results from numerous rough fodder analyses show that the protein content of our hay continues to fall. In fact, it is so low that the daily requirements can no longer be met for horses on maintenance. Let alone horses in intensive sports, or pregnant/lactating mares. Supplementing with a protein-rich concentrate is then an option, but in doing so you may often be providing energy, vitamins, and minerals that your horse does not necessarily need. An exclusive protein source such as Pavo ProteinPlus, is the perfect solution here.
