Replenish

Electrolyte replacement and isotonic rehydration

Product Description

Replenish is an electrolyte replacement to add to the equine athlete's feed, or in solution as a rehydrating isotonic drink. It is especially useful after fluid loss through exercise or any scouring illness.

Product Benefits

Replenish supplies important body salts (electrolytes) that are lost in sweat after exercise and in hot weather, and helps to promote normal body fluid balance after exercise. Loss of large amounts of water and electrolytes in sweat causes: dullness and weakness, decreased nerve and muscle function, poor recovery from exercise, reduced performance and even clinical dehydration (a reduction in total body water). Replenish provides the necessary ingredients to rehydrate and restore body function and performance.

Feed To all working horses and ponies that sweat heavily
To competition horses and ponies during hard work in competitions
During competitions in hot and humid weather
When the horse or pony is suffering from diarrhoea

Feeding Guide (amount per day)

Weight of Horse/Pony	Approximate Height	Light work	Medium/hard work
Up to 250kg/550lb	Under 12hh	.25 scoop	.50 scoop
250kg/550lb to 400kg/880lb	12 - 14hh	.75 scoop	1.50 scoops
400kg/880lb to 600kg/1320lb	14 - 16hh	1 scoop	2 scoops
Over 600kg/1320lb	Over 16hh	1.25 scoops	2.50 scoops

For rehydration, make an isotonic oral rehydration solution by dissolving 1 scoop (50g) Replenish in 5.5 litres of water. You may need to train your horse to drink this before using at a competition.
1 level scoop of Replenish weighs approximately 50g
Feed supplements should be fed according to bodyweight - height has been given as a guide. Add Replenish to the feed of working horses every day. Replenish mixed in water should be offered to horses and ponies after long or hard work to help restore normal fluid balance. It is also beneficial where electrolyte and fluid loss is a result of diarrhoea. Note: always ensure your horse is fully hydrated before hard work, giving free access to plain water if electrolyte solutions are refused.

Further information

An isotonic solution contains the same concentration of electrolytes as are found in the blood.

During exercise, working muscles produce heat. The body gets rid of most of this heat by the evaporation of sweat from the skin. Sweat consists of high levels of electrolytes and small amounts of other substances dissolved in water. Sweat loss during moderate exercise may be 10 to 15 litres of fluid per hour, and it will be greater in hot weather.

Water alone will not efficiently restore normal body function and performance in a dehydrated horse. To replace fluid lost from sweating an isotonic oral rehydration solution is necessary because isotonic solutions are more rapidly and effectively absorbed than other solutions.
