Vitamin D Top-Up Supplement to Promote Strong Healthy Bones

 

Formulated with broad spectrum macro and trace minerals plus additional calcium, magnesium and phosphorus, MegaMin Bone Defender helps horses maintain bone strength and stay healthy and sound while grazing high-oxalate subtropical pastures. Left unsupplemented on such pastures, horses are at risk of developing severe bone demineralisation or bighead disease.

 


A scientifically balanced calcium, phosphorus, magnesium and vitamin D supplement to help promote strong healthy bones.


Incorporates multiple sources of calcium, including chelated calcium.


Assists in maintaining/balancing the calcium to oxalate ratio for horses grazing subtropical pastures (setaria, buffel, kikuyu, couch etc.) where an imbalance in the calcium to oxalate ratio can lead to bighead disease.

Feeding Guide

The below feeding rates are for horses on pasture who are not receiving any significant amounts (less than 1 kg/day) of supplementary hay or hard feed. 

MegaMin Bone Defender should be fed with the recommended dose of MegaMin Equine Enhancer or as part of a balanced diet.

What makes MegaMin Bone Defender so important for horses grazing high oxalate pastures?

MegaMin Bone Defender is formulated to provide enough high quality and bioavailable calcium, phosphorus and magnesium to allow horses to maintain bone strength and to stay healthy and sound when grazing high oxalate subtropical pastures.  Left unsupplemented on these pastures, horses are at risk of severe bone demineralization and Bighead Disease.

 

What are the causes of Bighead?

Bighead in horses can arise from an incorrect calcium to phosphorus ratio with more phosphorus in the diet than calcium and from grazing pastures containing high levels of oxalate that block calcium absorption.

What are some signs of Bighead?

Clinical signs of Bighead are not always the 'bighead' appearance as this is more common in young horses.  Signs can include, but are not limited to the following:

  • Shifting lameness, sore bones and joints
  • Ligament and tendon injuries
  • Noisy breathing, ill-thrift and a harsh coat
  • Enlarged/swollen facial bones
  • Ridge over nasal bone
  • Early tiring and a low tolerance for work. 

What are some common grasses that contain high oxalate?

Buffel Grass, Setaria, Kikuyu, Para Grass, Purple Pigeon, Green Panic, Pangola Grass and Signal Grass.

Great service again

Our 2 Thoroughbreds are very lucky where they now live on a country property. Due to the high oxalate grasses, this product was highly recommended by the owners of the property. The horses are healthy and sound and no signs of developing bighead.
