Setup, Compatibility & Care
For internal use, begin by incorporating the salt into the horse's regular grain or mash, ensuring it is thoroughly mixed to avoid localized high concentrations. When using externally, ensure the water used for dissolution is clean and lukewarm to facilitate better solubility. Store the product in a cool, dry place and ensure the lid is tightly sealed after every use to prevent moisture absorption and clumping, as Magnesium Sulphate is hygroscopic.
