Kohnke’s Own Troppo-Salts is a concentrated electrolyte supplement specifically designed for horses living and working in hot, humid, and tropical climates like Queensland, the Northern Territory, and northern Western Australia.

 ✔   Tailored for Tropical Conditions - Specially formulated to meet the elevated salt needs of horses in hot and humid climates.

✔   Supports Normal Sweating - Includes key nutrients like L-arginine, zinc, and antioxidants (vitamin E & C) to help maintain healthy sweat production and reduce the risk of anhydrosis.

✔   All-in-One Electrolyte Formula - Delivers complete salt balance in the one easy to scoop mix, including a higher ratio of potassium, which is important for working horses.

 ✔   Gentle on Digestion - Coated formula reduces reactivity and digestive upset often caused by other strong liquid or paste electrolytes.

Which Horses Benefit?

  • All horses resting or working in hot and humid conditions and weather regions in Australia, such as Queensland and the Northern Territory
  • Horses which sweat excessively in response to exercise 
  • Flexible dose rates ensure electrolyte replacement for horses at rest and at all levels of training, from light work to intense work
  • Especially useful for horses with reduced sweating ability or anhydrosis

Major Ingredients

Troppo-Salts is formulated to provide physiological salts and other electrolytes which help correct a low or inadequate intake in grain, chaff and hay based diets.  

Troppo-Salts contains essential salts, including sodium, potassium, magnesium and chloride, as a concentrated, feed-based electrolyte balancer  

Troppo-Salts has extra amounts of vitamin E and vitamin C to provide additional antioxidants for optimum electrolyte uptake and help ensure normal sweating is maintained.  These antioxidants are also useful to support muscle function and activity in horses working under hot and humid conditions.  

Troppo-Salts contains glucose to assist sweat replenishment in hot and humid conditions.  

Troppo-Salts contains a supplementary source of organic chelated zinc and the amino acid L-arginine, as nutrients linked to critical processes involved in the reduction of cellular oxidative damage from heat stress and other problems horses may experience in hot and humid weather.  

Troppo-Salts is specially coated to ensure optimum palatability and reduced salt reactivity, preserving fragile vitamins in the feed and eliminating the risk of digestive upset commonly caused by paste or liquid salt solutions 

Troppo-Salts is vanilla flavoured and a heavy, low dust powder for optimum palatability and reduced wastage. 

Troppo-Salts does not swab or contain banned substances and does not contravene the Rules of Racing or FEI Competition. This product is a nutritional supplement to support the health and well-being of a horse. It does not artificially enhance the performance of racing or competition horses. Rules prohibiting the use of any pre-race supplements within 24 hours of racing should be followed if applicable in the local jurisdiction.

Supplementation Guidelines

Each level scoopful provides 25 g of Troppo-Salts. Mix the measured amount into the daily feed.  It is recommended to provide Troppo-Salts after extended exercise to encourage rehydration.  Always ensure that adequate, clean & fresh drinking water is available at all times.    

For horses at rest under tropical conditions, feed 25 g daily.  

For horses in light work under tropical conditions, feed 50 grams daily.

For horses in moderate work under tropical conditions, feed 75 grams daily, recommended to split between morning and night feeds.  

For heavily or intensely worked horses, or horses with a dry coat under tropical conditions, feed up to 100 grams daily, split between morning and evening feeds.  

For ponies and miniatures, feed half the above amounts.

Our Concept for Troppo Salts

For Horses with Anhydrosis

In extreme heat and humidity some horses develop a reduced ability to sweat and can suffer from anhydrosis (dry coat, non-sweating syndrome) which can have serious medical consequences. Supplementation with Troppo-Salts is beneficial and has a role in maintaining the normal sweating process. 

Veterinary Formulated with Years of Great Results

Formulated by equine veterinarian and recognised authority in equine nutrition, Dr. John Kohnke, Troppo-Salts provides the essential salts, antioxidants, and supportive nutrients horses need to maintain fluid balance, muscle function, and normal sweating ability—even under extreme heat stress.  Whether your horse is in light training, intense work, or at rest, Troppo-Salts helps prevent dehydration, supports sweating, and reduces the risk of conditions like anhydrosis and heat stress.

Palatable and Cost Effective

Troppo-Salts is highly palatable with a vanilla-flavoured powder that is not too salty or bitter in taste, helping acceptance in horses,  even those which commonly sift out other salt powder.  It is a low dust, dense powder that mixes well into all feeds, wet or dry.

Living in NQ I find the Troppo-Salts very beneficial for the conditions up here. My horses look and feel fantastic.

I have used Troppo-Salts for my dressage horses for years.

It is so important to add salt to their diets as they are working and sweating heavily.
