<p>Sulfur is a chemical element. In the body, sulfur is part of the amino acids cysteine and methionine. These amino acids are referred to as sulfur-containing amino acids, and they are represented in practically all proteins that makes up the body. Sulfur is among others also part of the B-vitamins thiamine (vitamin B1) and biotin, the natural anticoagulant heparin, and chondroitin sulfate, an important constituent of cartilage in all joint surfaces.</p>
<p>Horses cover their requirements for sulfur through intake of organic, sulfur-containing feed molecules, mainly the amino acids methionine and cysteine.</p>
<p>When the ration has sufficient amounts of protein, preferably from several sources, sulfur deficiency will not occur.</p>
