NAF Limestone Flour

NAF Limestone Flour

A rich source of calcium designed to supplement bone growth requirements. Recommended as a source of calcium for horses on a cereal-based diet — particularly if bran is included — to balance the calcium to phosphorous ratio.

Key Benefits

• Rich calcium source — supplements bone growth requirements
• Balances calcium to phosphorous ratio — essential for horses on cereal-based diets
• Particularly useful when bran is fed — bran is high in phosphorous and can disrupt the ratio
• Powder format — easy to mix into daily feed

FAQ

Is it suitable for youngstock?

No — NAF Limestone Flour is not recommended for youngstock. Consult your vet or equine nutritionist for appropriate calcium supplementation for young horses.

Why is the calcium to phosphorous ratio important?

Horses require a calcium to phosphorous ratio of approximately 2:1. Cereal-based diets, particularly those containing bran, can be high in phosphorous and disrupt this ratio, potentially affecting bone health.
