Description
Race Recovery Paste is an innovative electrolyte supplement designed specifically for horses given furosemide.
Use of furosemide causes electrolyte loss and imbalance through increased urination. When coupled with the electrolyte losses that occur naturally with sweating, total electrolyte depletion can be significant following intense exercise. Without proper electrolyte replenishment, complete physiological recovery may be delayed, setting the stage for longer intervals between races.
Race Recovery reduces the downtime between bouts of intense exercise by replacing key electrolytes, including calcium and magnesium. Research at Kentucky Equine Research (KER) found that horses given furosemide require additional supplementation following exertion to maintain optimal electrolyte balance.
How do I use Race Recovery?
Administer one tube (60 g) of Race Recovery Paste one to two hours after racing, or as soon as the horse returns to its stall, and a second tube later that night or the morning following the race. Beginning the day after the race, feed one scoop (60 g) of Race Recovery Powder twice a day mixed thoroughly in feed as the horse’s daily electrolyte supplement.
For example:
Post-race return to stable: Give 1 Race Recovery Paste
Dinner: Top-dress 60g Race Recovery Powder on meal
Late night/early next morning: Give 1 Race Recovery Paste
Next 5 days: Give 60g Race Recovery powder twice a day top-dressed on feed
Regular training: Give 60g Race Recovery Powder per day top-dressed on feed
