Magnesium is of utmost importance as a component of numerous enzymes in the horse’s nervous and muscular tissues. In the animal’s body, approximately 60% of magnesium is located in bone tissue. The magnesium content in blood serum is 2–3 mg per 100 ml. Magnesium supply is extremely important for heart function. Magnesium requirements are increased during lactation, growth, and the development of muscle and nerve tissue, and to a lesser extent also during sweat loss. Magnesium intake is sufficient with a standard diet supplemented with grains. However, in intensively fertilized pastures, an excess of potassium can impair the absorption rate of magnesium. Stress also reduces the rate of magnesium absorption in the intestinal tract. Magnesium deficiency leads to declining blood levels, which—even after a short time—result in symptoms of tetany (pasture tetany), increased excitability, muscle tremors, and muscle cramps. Essential (vital) amino acids play a key role in the renewal and development of body tissue. Although the body can synthesize some amino acids on its own, essential amino acids must be obtained through the diet. In plant-based protein sources, particularly in grains, the amino acid composition is unbalanced, meaning that the supply of the essential amino acids lysine and methionine is sometimes insufficient. Especially during development phases (growth and training phases), an adequate supply of lysine and methionine is crucial for muscle building and muscle regeneration.
