Dr. Weyrauch Manganese - 1kg

Dr. WeyrauchManganese is a trace element of enormous importance for muscle, bone, cartilage and tendon metabolism. Manganese deficiency, which is often caused by stress, growth or different hay qualities, can lead to tension, joint problems, bone abrasion, dental problems, pigmentation disorders, hyperacidity and even laminitis. Manganese deficiencies can also have serious consequences for the health of the animal in terms of the fertility of the mare and stallion as well as embryonic foal development.

How do you recognize that a horse has an increased manganese requirement?

Shallow color tones in horses can indicate manganese deficiencies Horses that have a manganese deficiency often appear very tense, stiff, almost resinous and tend to have joint and tendon problems. High muscle values in the blood count are conspicuous, as is a tendency to cross-hock, hyperacidity, sensitivity of the hoof leather and even laminitis. Stomach ulcers or poor tooth quality are often associated with manganese deficiencies.

The tendency to develop overlegs, bone formation disorders and joint deformities can in many cases be attributed to manganese deficiency.

Pigmentation disorders, which manifest themselves in increased prickly hair formation or even the development of so-called copper spectacles, have been observed in many cases. Sarcoids can indicate a manganese deficiency. Experience has shown that kissing spines can always be a consequence of a deficiency.

Recognizing manganese deficiency in horses

Disorders in the context of mobility:

- Muscle stiffness
- severe tension that does not respond to magnesium supplementation
- connective tissue disorders (due to insufficient formation of proteoglycans)
- tendon damage and delayed healing of tendon damage
- bone problems (in conjunction with copper deficiency)
- delayed healing due to poor callus formation
- decalcification of the bone (bone cysts, osteoporosis)
- tendency to overlegs
- joint problems
- osteoarthritis
- impaired cartilage regeneration

Disorders in breeding and foal development:

- Growth disorders
- Reduced growth (in connection with zinc)
- Chip development in foals
- Tendency to develop stilt feet
- Fertility problems in mares
- Russe in connection with high tension

Other signs:

- Pigmentation disorders ("copper glasses", prickly hair)
- Deacidification disorders (including uric and lactic acid breakdown)
- Dental problems (caries)
- Laminitis without and with fatty degeneration
- "Feeling", often in connection with or after a visit to the farrier
- Insufficient strength of the hoof
- Sarcoids
