Feeding recommendation : 10 g per 100 kg body weight.
Pour 150-300 ml of hot water over the desired amount of Bio Atem-Fit, allow to steep briefly and mix into the feed while still warm, including the brew. Bio Natur Pur Extra-Fit is best suited for this purpose, as it considerably extends the feeding times and also provides the horse with important micronutrients that can support the immune system.
For a 6-week cure, you need 1 Bio Atem-Fit 1300g for a pony and 2 Bio Atem-Fit 1300g for a large horse.
There should be a break of at least 4 weeks between the cures.
