Product Information

Full details

The Horslyx Original Lick is designed for horse owners looking to supplement their horse's diet with essential vitamins, minerals, and trace elements. It helps balance nutritional deficiencies in forage and grazing, promoting overall health and vitality. A key benefit is its palatable and easy-to-use form, encouraging natural trickle feeding. However, it's important to remember that Horslyx should be fed alongside good quality forage and is not a replacement for it.

FAQs

How long does a Horslyx Original Lick last?

The lifespan of the lick depends on the size and the horse's consumption rate. A 5kg lick can last several weeks for a single horse.

Can I give Horslyx to a horse with laminitis?

Consult your vet before feeding Horslyx to a horse with laminitis or other metabolic conditions.

What is the difference between the Original and other Horslyx varieties?

The Original provides a general balance of nutrients, while other varieties offer targeted support (e.g., Garlic for insect deterrent, Mobility for joint function).

How often should I provide the Horslyx?

Horslyx should be available to the horse at all times, provided the horse's consumption is monitored.

Where can I buy the Horslyx Original Lick?

You can find Horslyx at most equine supply stores and online retailers.

Is the Horslyx Original Lick suitable for all breeds of horses?

Yes, but always adjust the amount provided based on your horse's individual needs and condition. Consult with a vet if needed.

How should I introduce a new Horslyx lick to my horse?

Introduce it gradually, allowing the horse to get used to the taste and texture. Observe your horse's eating habits.

Troubleshooting

Horse is consuming the lick too quickly.

Consider using a slow-feeder lick holder or limiting access to the lick.

Horse is not interested in the lick.

Ensure the horse has not recently had access to lush pasture or other treats. Try a different variety of Horslyx, such as Mint or Garlic.

Lick is exposed to weather.

Use a lick holder designed to protect the lick from rain and direct sunlight.
