Functions

The unique formulation of McCauley’s Hydrolyte encourages drinking and facilitates rehydration. Equine sweat is hypertonic, meaning the level of electrolytes in sweat is greater than that in blood. As a result, even though horses are dehydrated, they may lack the desire to drink.

When added to drinking water, Hydrolyte provides a more consistent taste and smell to different water sources. This is useful when horses are temporarily relocated (e.g., shows, events, etc.).

Product Size

Available in 5 lb. (2.3 kg) and 25 lb. (11.4 kg) pails.

Add 1 to 4 oz. of McCauley's Hydrolyte per bucket of water (a typical water bucket for horses is 5-gallons) or top-dress 1 oz. per lb. or more of feed daily for an average-size riding horse (1,000 to 1,200 lbs.).

In preparation for intense competition, increase the level of McCauley's Hydrolyte gradually the week prior to the event, such that the horse will receive at least 4 oz. per day a few days prior to, during and after the event.

Daily recommendations may be increased or decreased depending on sweat loss, which is affected by intensity of exercise, environmental conditions (e.g., heat, humidity), body size and/or stress.

To promote drinking, McCauley's Hydrolyte should be added to a minimum amount of feed. Make sure fresh, clean water is available for the horse to drink.

Of Note: McCauley’s Hydrolyte is hydroscopic, meaning it has a high affinity for water. As such, this product will absorb moisture and clump if exposed to air too long. If this occurs, the product is still usable and can be crumbled to mix with feed or dissolved in water with stirring. To minimize clumping, reseal the pail after each use.

Their quality is excellent

“I have been using McCauley’s feeds for over 10 years on a variety of horses, from elite eventers to foxhunters, ponies, pleasure horses and retired horses. McCauley’s has products that provide nutrition for all these types and more. Their quality is excellent, and they truly care about the horse’s well-being. Plus, they are always available to answer questions and help provide solutions.”

Nina Fout, Professional Event Rider, Trainer & Course Designer

An integral part of my horses’ health and careers

“McCauleys Feeds have been an integral part of my horses’ health and careers for a long time now and I couldn’t be happier! Their weight is easily manageable with all the different selections of feed and their skin and coats are as healthy and beautiful as they can get with the fortification that goes into each bag. I regularly have people ask me what I feed my horses because they’re so shiny and dappled.”

The secret weapon in our program

“McCauley’s Alam^® has been the secret weapon in our program, responsible for retraining and rehoming Thoroughbreds for the largest aftercare organization in the country. Whether our new arrivals have issues with ulcers or are off their grain, we have seen a miraculous difference in weight gain, behavior and appetite within a matter of weeks. We have previously tried every competitor’s grain with identical management and we see unwanted behaviors persist. In addition, despite feeding the manufacturer’s recommended amounts, desired weight gain has been slow. Alam^® provides our horses with cool energy and prepares them to step into their new jobs and excel, powered by the best formula on the market.”

The quality is the best on the market

“Any athlete knows that what we put into our bodies is massively important, not only for being able to perform at the highest levels, but also for recovery and repair — and the same goes for horses, of course. With McCauley’s I’ve been able to work with their nutritionists to tailor a different feeding plan for each horse. I believe the quality is the best on the market and it’s also one of the most cost-effective, mainly in that my horses would never dream of wasting it; they always run to their feed buckets to eat and that, in itself, is a huge selling point for me.”

Sara Kozumplik, Overlook Farm

Berryville, VA

I can’t imagine feeding anything else

“I have been a McCauley’s Feed customer for 20 years, and I can’t imagine feeding anything else. I run a busy retraining and boarding business with multiple young Thoroughbreds transitioning from racing to sport horse careers. With the great nutrition and expert advice from McCauley’s, these horses have changed from lean runners to beefy show horses with glossy coats and strong hoof growth. I also manage a handful of retirees and some insulin resistant horses. Having the vast variety in available feeds means I always know each horse is getting exactly what they need to thrive!”
