Equistro ß-carotin

Equistro B-carotin 3000 gram

Concentrate of ß-carotene, vitamins A, E and unsaturated fatty acids. For specialised use in: Broodmares - to aid fertility. Breeding stallions - to optimise covering performance and sperm quality.

ß-carotene is not only a precursor for vitamin A but also is directly implicated in the biosynthesis of progesterone, a hormone central to sperm quality and viability of the stallion as well as all of the different reproductive stages of the broodmare. ß-carotene is involved in follicule maturation, heat cycle, conception and maintenance of pregnancy. ß-CAROTIN supplies on a daily basis (standard sized horse), 500 mg ß-carotene, 10,000 IU vitamin A, 250mg vitamin E as well as unsaturated fatty acids (Omega 3 particularly) which play a vital role in the fertility of mares and stallions.

ß-CAROTIN use is recommended when the pasture/roughage is less rich in ß-carotene, notably from January to May as well as during the stud season:
• Stallions : when the covering vigour and sperm quality are essential factors
• Broodmares: when the heat quality, viable pregnancies and colostrum quality are the advantages particularly required
