In addition to humans, horses are one of the few animal species that use sweating as the primary means for dissipating heat. Sweating is an example of evaporative cooling and accounts for over 50% of heat loss in the horse. Sweat not only contains water, it also contains electrolytes, certain minerals and a protein called latherin. Latherin imparts the “foam” in heavily sweating horses and contributes to the evaporative efficiency. Wiping sweat or lather off the horse is counterproductive, as it will decrease the evaporative cooling effect.
Apple Dex replaces essential fluids that are lost due to heavy exercise or stress. The unique blend makes it perfect for use in feed or water.
Administer in the horse’s feed or drinking water at the rate of 2 ounces per 10 gallons of fresh water, or 2 ounces in the horse’s daily feed ration in place of regular salt.
