Description
Contracted tendons, angular limb deformities or physitis? Try Leg Aide™, the nutritional solution Research has shown a link between nutrition and the development of orthopedic disease in foals. Leg Aide from Progressive Nutrition Veterinary Care addresses this by supplying essential nutrients that promote normal growth. The typical time frame for improvement is less than two weeks for sucklings; under four weeks for weanlings, and six to eight weeks on yearlings. Traditionally, dealing with growth-related problems with nursing foals involves restricting feed to lactating mares to try to slow down milk production. In weanlings, a similar approach is taken. Is this the best solution? We have found it more beneficial to increase the mineral levels in the foal’s diet to levels necessary for normal growth. Leg Aide™is for foals (at least 5 days old) and growing horses exhibiting growth related developmental problems such as weak tendons, contracted tendons, swollen joints and crooked legs (angular limb deformities).
