Bone Formula Forte®
FORTIFIED CALCIUM SUPPLEMENT FOR HORSES ON HARD FEED
-
Jenquine Bone Formula Forte® contains a unique combination of:
Organic calcium – highly absorbable, supports bone health and replenishes dietary calcium.
Inorganic calcium – helps neutralise soluble oxalates in the stomach and bloodstream.
This dual-calcium formula is designed to counteract the effects of oxalates found in certain grasses and unbalanced diets.
-
Ideal for horses that are:
Fed grain or bran-based diets and on high phosphorus/low calcium feeds
Consuming roughage high in phosphorus (e.g., grassy, oaten, or teff chaff/hay).
Grazing on soluble and insoluble oxalate-rich pastures (e.g., kikuyu, panic, setaria, buffel, and other sub-tropical grasses).
Undergoing treatment for gastric ulcers.
At risk of calcium deficiency or showing signs of osteoporosis or "bighead".
-
Assists bone health: replenishes calcium to maintain strong bones and prevent osteoporosis.
Increases daily calcium intake: especially important in grain-heavy, hay-based and oxalate-rich diets.
Reduces risk of "bighead": helps prevent nutritional secondary hyperparathyroidism and osteoporosis (only 15% of horses with osteoporosis develop “bighead”).
Reduces risk of oxalate-kidney stones: minimises the formation of calcium-oxalate crystals.
Supports performance & wellbeing: supports movement, dental health, and overall strength and vitality.
Available in 5kg, 10kg or 20kg
Horses grazing high oxalate pastures can lose calcium even when total calcium intake appears adequate. Australian research has shown that blood calcium levels may remain normal while parathyroid hormone (PTH) rises and calcium is mobilised from bone, a process that leads to bone demineralisation, and over time, osteoporosis.
This is why calcium form, bioavailability and utilisation matter, not just how much calcium is fed. Simply adding lucerne or standard supplements is often not enough on oxalate‑rich diets.
