It is best for young, growing horses, broodmares and forage-fed horses whose ration may be low in copper, as an adequate intake of copper is essential for cartilage formation and maturation in young growing horses.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCopper levels in grazing and conserved forage vary widely between soil types and regions, so many UK and Irish yards use a targeted copper source rather than relying on pasture alone. Because the copper is chelated, it is presented in a form the horse can absorb efficiently.
