highly digestible protein – Balanced amino acid profile
More important than the protein content, is the digestible protein content. For example, the protein in soy is 50-80% digestible, while that in hay is a lot lower. The more digestible the protein is, the less protein is needed to have enough amino acids. Contains highly digestible protein sources including soy, potato protein, alfalfa and wheat feed meal, which allows the total protein content to be limited.
The specific composition offers an amino acid profile that is very similar to that of the horse's muscle protein. The amount of each and the correct ratio (amino acid profile) of these amino acids are decisive for good muscle development and recovery. To build muscle tissue, all amino acids must be available in sufficient quantities and in the right proportions. When only one amino acid is missing, the process of muscle building is slowed down.
Muscle recovery
A horse is only in top shape when its muscles are. The horse's body has more than 700 muscles, each with its own function. When a horse trains, small tears occur in the muscle fibers. These are harmless in themselves and are part of the natural muscle building process, but they do need to be repaired. Muscles are mainly made up of protein. In order to restore the muscle fibers after exercise, it is necessary that the right building blocks, in this case proteins, are available in the right amounts. Sufficient high-quality proteins provide the essential building blocks for optimal muscle recovery.
Electrolytes
Sweating is healthy for a horse, it helps to cool down faster. With intensive work, a horse can lose up to 15 liters of fluid per hour. However, sweat is not only made up of moisture, but also of minerals and other components. An important consequence of sweating is the loss of large amounts of minerals, also known as electrolytes. Without supplementing these losses, it can lead to reduced performance, muscle soreness, and even exhaustion. Sodium, Potassium and Chlorine compensate for the electrolytes that your horse loses during sweating and thus contribute to optimal recovery after exercise.

The basis of a good diet for your horse is sufficient roughage and always fresh drinking water. Supplement this base with concentrates or a balancer as needed. Use supplements to fine-tune.
Feeding advice Cavalor Sportmash Recup
To prepare Sportmash Recup, mix 1 part mash with 2 parts water (60 °C). Soak for 30 minutes. We recommend feeding 120 gr per 100 kg of body weight. For a horse weighing 600 kilograms, this means 720g. Give Cavalor Sportmash Recup within 30 minutes after a training session or competition for a good recovery.
