1/6 “COMPOSITION OF NUTRIENTS FOR EQUINE”.

[0001] The present application for a patent refers to a “COMPOSITION OF NUTRIENTS FOR HORSES”, which was developed with the purpose of providing a compound of nutrients to improve the feeding of horses.

State of the art [0002] As in all species, horses need an adequate supply of nutrients to be able to develop both their daily activity and to be able to maintain all vital functions of the organism. Nutrients are essential components for the organism, which may or may not be synthesized by the animal, but in any case they are essential; we speak among others of: water, energy, proteins, amino acids, digestible fiber, carbohydrates, minerals, vitamins, etc.

[0003] In the vitamin market, we can find a large amount of vitamin supplements, all with different compositions and that are generally used without knowing what they really are, a real need for the horse and its functions. It can lead to risks, both for excess and for lack. Vitamins are one of the main nutrients, both in poltros and mares, as well as in adult horses, which without them will not be able to grow, reproduce or work effectively.

[0004] The required vitamins change depending on age, body weight, physiological or productive status, illness or stress. Vitamins are organic compounds that have been classified into two groups: Water-soluble, which as the name implies can be water-soluble (vitamin C, group B vitamins, etc.) and Fat-soluble, fat-soluble (A, D, E, K). In general, water-soluble vitamins are eliminated in the urine and are normally not very toxic, since they are not retained by the body, whereas

2/6 fat-soluble vitamins can be retained by body fat and are not eliminated quickly.

[0005] Mineral supplementation in horses is little discussed compared to cattle and is very important in the daily lives of animals, thus making it indispensable for them. Mineral deficiencies are among the factors that most contribute to the low productivity of the national equine herd, when kept under pasture conditions. The tropical soils and forages usually show a deficiency or excess of minerals, providing a nutritional imbalance to the animals, which is responsible for the low production of work and performance of the horses, as well as for reproductive problems (ARAÚJO, 2003). To obtain healthy horses it is necessary that the diet available and / or provided meets the daily needs of energy, protein, minerals and vitamins. The requirements are variable according to the different physiological demands, such as growth, lactation, physical activity, in addition to individual differences and environmental conditions (SANTOS, 1997). The supply must be made in places where cattle do not have access and carry out surveys on the requirements required for animals of different ages, and physiological states, the supplements to be offered must be specific to the categories. The lack or excess of these minerals in the feeding of horses can cause serious damages and losses to the breeders. The symptoms are reflected in the formation of bones, tendons, low performance for work and reproductive life of animals. For example, the last and most serious sign of calcium deficiency in a horse's diet is manifested through the swollen face, a symptom that the animal presents when, to supply the calcium deficiency in the circulatory current, it starts to remove it from its own bone, which leads to

3/6 formation of fibrous tissue at the site and in an advanced stage of calcium deficiency this symptom appears and is irreversible (REZENDE, 2012).

[0006] According to Priano (2010) minerals are important for the use of energy and food, for the health of tendons, hooves, joints, muscles, circulation and breathing. Organic minerals are widely used in high performance diets. These minerals are combinations of a mineral plus an amino acid. Instead of being absorbed naturally in the body, it is absorbed by the amino acid absorption site. These organic minerals are readily transported to body tissues via carriers of amino acids and peptides. This avoids competition between inorganic minerals for classic mineral transporters. The feed must be supplied according to the category to which the animal belongs associated with it, the use of specific mineral salt for horses, being extremely important for the development of athlete animals and of all categories, in order to meet the requirements daily and reach the common goal, which is maximum performance during physical activity. (PIMENTEL et al., 2013) [0007] According to Furtado et al. (2009). The biological availability of calcium is not influenced by calcium levels in diets and may be higher than that described in the related literature. In experimental conditions, the results obtained, of 19.0 g of calcium / animal / day, suggest that the calcium requirements of horses raised in Brazilian conditions are lower than those recommended in international tables of nutritional requirements for horses.

[0008] Minerals are inorganic elements with a fundamental role in the metabolism of organisms. They are very important in the formation of the skeleton, teeth and blood cells. They are indispensable for many biochemical activities of the normal metabolism of the body. They also have important roles

4/6 in the balance of body tissue fluids and in the circulation of oxygen in the bloodstream, in addition to being essential in normal thyroid activity and muscle metabolism (REVISTA RURAL, 2006). According to Santos (1997), animals raised extensively depend mainly on forages to meet their mineral requirements. As the majority of Brazilian soils are poor in minerals, it is important to carry out a soil analysis before the formation of pastures for horses, since poor soils do not properly nourish the plants, so there is a need for minerals for the plants and consequently for horses, to supplement the deficiency the ideal is mineral supplementation.

[0009] For Gobesso (2007), the importance of offering a supplement is based on the fact that working horses have large losses of minerals through sweat, especially in hot climates and for muscle contraction. It is also essential for support in the regulation of reproduction, for those properties that breed their service horses, and the non-supply can harm the fertility rates of the equine herd.

[0010] Mineral supplementation for horses is of fundamental importance for the skeletal development, indispensable in the formation of the fetus and for a good physiological and hormonal performance. It must always be provided at will and with quality, meeting the requirements of horses at any stage or physiological state.

[0011] The purpose of the present application is to provide a "COMPOSITION OF NUTRIENTS FOR EQUINE" based on the formulations, whose components are distributed as follows:

22000 [0012] Based on the above, we can verify that the “COMPOSITION OF NUTRIENTS FOR EQUINES”, brings benefits such as:

[0013] Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant, which has the great ability to cancel the action of free radicals, so people used to regularly consume foods rich in vitamin C, are well protected from health problems caused by contamination of the environment environment. In addition, it is known that free radicals can contribute to the development of cancers and heart disease, as well as respiratory diseases. [0014] Vitamin E helps to defend the cell membranes of the body against oxidative stress, for the maintenance of good health and the proper functioning of the immune system.

[0015] In addition to its antioxidant functions, vitamin E is now known to act through other mechanisms, including direct effects on inflammation, regulation of blood cells, growth of connectivity tissue and genetic control of cell division.

[0016] A dynamic agent to fight cancer, vitamin E protects cells and DNA against lesions that can become cancerous. It slows the growth of tumors, in addition to improving immune function and preventing precancerous substances from becoming carcinogens.

[0017] The vitamin can also be beneficial to people with diabetes. It improves the action of insulin and blood glucose metabolism by decreasing oxidative stress.

[0018] Zinc is a mineral that is associated with different body functions, including wound healing and hair growth.

Petition 870170019718, of March 24, 2017, p. 7/20

6/6 [0019] Other functions of zinc in the body are related to fertility, immunity, the perception of taste and smell and the synthesis of DNA. [0020] All this is because the mineral is involved in the metabolism of proteins and nucleic acids, stimulating the activity of more than 100 enzymes. [0021] Therefore, zinc is one of the most important contributors to the proper functioning of the immune system. Another reason that makes it essential is that it increases the production of white blood cells and helps to fight infection very efficiently, in addition to releasing more antibodies. Zinc also stimulates the production of cancer-fighting cells, killing cancer cells.

[0022] As it is innovative and until then not understood in the state of the art, it fits perfectly within the criteria that define the invention patent. Their claims are as follows.
