HeparKPU forte is based on a herbal blend that can support the balance of the horse’s natural gut environment. Additionally, it provides highly bioavailable micronutrients for the metabolism, particularly vitamins B6, B12, and the minerals zinc and sulfur. This supports the natural biotransformation of liver cells, physiological blood formation, and relieves the mineral balance. Overall, when combined with appropriate care and nutrition, it can contribute to the overall positive development of the horse’s appearance. It can be fed alongside horses with KPU.
HeparKPU forte is suitable for horses that need support in balancing their natural gut environment. It is particularly beneficial for horses that require highly bioavailable micronutrients such as vitamins B6 and B12, as well as minerals like zinc and sulfur. Additionally, it is ideal for horses that depend on a balanced management and diet for their development.
HeparKPU forte can generally be combined with other products; however, it is important to consider the overall composition of the diet. The legal framework allows a maximum dosage of 12,000 mg of zinc per kilogram in supplement feeds, which has already been reached in HeparKPU forte. Therefore, the daily feeding amount of HeparKPU forte, as well as the overall composition of the ration, should be assessed to determine whether an additional zinc supplement is necessary.
HeparKPU forte was specifically developed to address an increased need for micronutrients such as vitamin B6, B12, zinc, and sulfur. However, it is not a mineral feed that provides a balanced ratio of macro and trace elements. Horses cover a large portion of their mineral requirements through their basic feed, which can vary depending on conditions. To prevent mineral deficiencies, all horses should regularly be provided with a high-quality mineral feed. To find the appropriate mineral feed for your horse, our Mineral finder on the website can be used.
OKAPI HeparKPU forte is suitable for long-term use. The exact duration of feeding should be determined in consultation with a qualified therapist.
The feeding of OKAPI HeparKPU forte is generally done as a supplement mixed with the horse’s regular feed.
To calculate the appropriate dose for OKAPI HeparKPU forte, determine the weight of the horse. The horse’s weight can be measured by weighing, using a measuring tape, or with apps such as the BCI App from our partner Sanoanimal (available for free in theGoogle Play and the Apple Store).
The general recommendation for OKAPI products is based on a 600 kg horse. The recommended daily amount is 1-2 mL per day (1 scoop = 10 g).
To adjust the dose: If the horse weighs 300 kg, the dose should be adjusted accordingly. The calculation is as follows: daily dose (30 g) / 600 kg × weight of the horse (300 kg) = daily ration (15 g). This method helps determine the appropriate amount.
