Cavalor Nutri Grow contains all the vitamins and minerals that foals, young horses, and pregnant or lactating mares need for optimum development. Broodmares and horses that spend a lot of time on rich pastures during the growth phase get plenty of energy and protein.
Vitamins and minerals, however, are in short supply. Cavalor Nutri Grow is a balanced mix to supplement these deficiencies in young horses and mares from the 7th month of pregnancy onwards.
During gestation, the mare's body ensures that the important "building blocks" specifically designed for growth are produced. These substances are essential for the development and protection of the unborn foal. During lactation, the mare also transfers these substances to the foal. As a consequence, the growing foal can develop a strong locomotive system as Cavalor Nutri Grow contributes to a healthy immunity status. For the production of these "building blocks" the horse's body needs a complex array of nutritional elements, such as minerals and amino acids with a high biological value. If there is a deficit of these nutrients in the base ration or if less of these required nutrients are absorbed, fewer of the important "building blocks" will be produced. This may subsequently lead to reduced bone or joint development in the foal/young horse or a decrease in the mare's body condition (depending on the period of the deficit). It is of major importance that both mare (during last three months of gestation and first three months of lactation) and foal receive these important "building blocks". An adequate supply of these "building blocks" is critical during this period. Cavalor Nutri Grow can also be used as a supplement for horses older than one year that need additional high-grade minerals.
Cavalor Nutri Grow is formulated to meet the vitamin and mineral needs of young horses and pregnant and lactating mares without providing extra energy and protein. It is therefore an ideal supplement for balancing feed rations.
Nutri Grow contains ideal proportions of calcium, phosphorus and magnesium to ensure good bone growth and density, complemented with trace elements (copper, zinc and manganese) which are organically well-absorbed and ensure good development of the locomotor system of bones, cartilage, joints and tendons. Furthermore, the essential amino acids methionine, lysine, cystine, threonine and tryptophan provide the key building blocks for good development.
Nutri Grow contains seaweed, an algae source for natural and highly absorbable calcium and magnesium. This pure and natural product not only supports the development of strong bones, it also promotes good gastrointestinal health. Yucca extract stimulates the absorption of minerals and trace elements.
Can I add a joint supplement to my foal's feed alongside Nutri Grow? Cavalor Arti Base can be safely used as a supplement for foals and young horses who appear to have swollen legs. Cavalor Nutri Grow may be used when there are indications that the overall growth of a healthy horse should be supported with additional nutrients.
What are the most important nutrients for my growing foal? Besides energy and vitamins, foals need various nutritional building blocks to support their growth such as, minerals and proteins (i.e. amino acids like lysine). The intake level of these nutrients is important, but the ratio in which they are fed is crucial. Cavalor Nutri Grow is specially designed to provide the needed nutritional support for foals, young horses and brood mares. Cavalor Nutri Grow contains eight different vitamins including vitamins A, B3, C, D3 and E. Together, these vitamins boost immunity, stimulate calcium and phosphate absorption for bone formation and help prevent muscular dystrophy among other benefits.
Is there a risk of overdosing on certain ingredients included in supplements? In some cases, yes. This will depend on the list of ingredients. Supplements rich in fat soluble vitamins such as, vitamins E, D3, A and K should to be administered as “directed on the label as overdosing can generate negative side effects. There is no risk of overdose when using supplements rich in water soluble vitamins such as B-vitamins. Cavalor supplements high in fat soluble vitamins: Cavalor NutriPlus, Cavalor Support and Cavalor Nutri Grow.
Contains a powerful blend of vitamins and minerals for the development of strong, hard bones and healthy joints
Young horses and broodmares are often turned out to pasture, which is excellent for their development and well-being. These pastures are often rich in energy and protein, but contain few vitamins and minerals. Cavalor Nutri Grow is formulated to meet the vitamin and mineral needs of young horses and pregnant and lactating mares. Although the foal’s main growth spurt does not occur until the last three months of pregnancy, the mare’s need for certain nutrients increases much earlier. A diet higher in calcium, phosphorus, copper, iodine is recommended from the seventh month of pregnancy. The skeleton of the unborn foal must be allowed to develop well. Good bone density is also vital later for the development of strong legs. Nutri Grow supports the controlled and uniform transformation of the cartilage in the skeleton into strong, hard bones. Nutri Grow contains ideal proportions of calcium, phosphorus and magnesium to ensure good bone growth and density, complemented with trace elements - copper, zinc and manganese - which are organically well-absorbed and ensure good development of the locomotor system of bones, cartilage, joints and tendons. Furthermore, the essential amino acids methionine, lysine, cystine, threonine and tryptophan provide the key building blocks for good development.
Absorption, availability and stability as distinguishing factors
Nutri Grow contains mäerl from the sea, which, as a source of algae, provides a natural and highly absorbable form of calcium and magnesium. This pure, natural product not only supports the development of strong bones, but it also has a very beneficial effect on the gastrointestinal system. The yucca extract also stimulates the absorption of minerals and trace
elements.
Covalently bonded hydroxy minerals (Cu, Zn) and chelated (Mn) trace elements were chosen because they are better absorbed and remain more stable. The vitamins are separated from the trace elements in the product to optimise the stability of Cavalor Nutri Grow even further. This keeps them from reacting with each other. The green pellets contain vitamins and minerals, while the beige pellets contain trace elements. The mix of pellets is perfectly homogeneous, ensuring that the horse receives the proper amount.
Low in energy and protein for the ideal supplement to a diet containing only roughage.
Young horses and broodmares are often turned out to pasture, which is excellent for their development and well-being. These pastures are often rich in energy and protein, but contain few vitamins and minerals. Cavalor Nutri Grow is formulated to meet the vitamin and mineral needs of young horses and pregnant and lactating mares without providing extra energy and protein. This makes it the ideal supplement to balance the diet.

Instructions for use | Feed Cavalor Nutri Grow daily when the ration does not contain sufficient nutrients. Giving a horse vitamins and minerals just once makes no sense. • Foals and ponies: 100 g/day • Young horses: 150 g/day • Pregnant (final 5 months) or lactating mares: 200 g/day 1 scoop = 100 g – maximum dose per horse 400 g/day TIP: if the horse is receiving more than 1.5 kg of concentrated feed per day, halve the dosage. TIP: Cavalor Nutri Grow is a highly concentrated source of vitamins and minerals, so that only a small daily dose is needed. If horses do not absorb this properly, it is advisable to mix it with a little concentrated feed. |
