Northwest Mare & Foal Concentrate

For Brood Mares, and Foals under 18 months of age

A special concentrate is warranted for Brood Mares and Foals. Wet mares and rapid growing foals have nutritional requirements much greater than the amounts that can be provided by forage or hay alone. Proper supplementation to the basic diets of Brood Mares and Foals is sufficiently great to require the use of a palatable concentrate having a daily feeding rate of at least 3 pounds. Mares can produce large quantities of growth promoting milk deficient in several essential minerals, including Calcium and Phosphorus. Mare's milk exhibits the same relative mineral characteristics as the diets they are consuming.

This phenomenon is peculiar to mares and is not know to occur in other species. Mares also exhibit some other biological peculiarities, which probably make proper nutrition more important to their unborn foals than previously thought. The quantities of essential minerals required for healthy bone and connective tissue development in foals is much greater than the amounts required for growth. This is true of both prenatal and postnatal development. As rates of growth increase, the amounts of minerals essential to bone and connective tissue integrity increases dramatically. It is not uncommon for foals to gain more than 4 pounds per day, especially during the 8th, 9th, 10th and 11th weeks of age.

Northwest Mare and Foal Concentrate is a highly digestible source of energy, protein, Macro minerals, Trace minerals and vitamins. It is designed for feeding the nursing mare and is an excellent foal creep. Feed to foals until 18 months old and then follow with Northwest Horse Supplement for a lifetime of specialized care that allows your horses to reach their full genetic potential.

Northwest Mare and Foal Concentrate is essential to the production of attractive foals that will grow into horses with high performance capabilities.

Northwest Mare and Foal Concentrate provides a degree of nutritional technology for your horse breeding operation that isn't available in any other source. Northwest Mare and Foal Concentrate is also appropriate for the feeding of stallions that are over 15 years old. The added nutrition will prolong the sexual vitality of aged stallions. This is also an excellent source of nutrients for SENIOR HORSES. As horses age, their ability to digest and absorb nutrients is reduced, thus a high level of nutrition aids in maintaining weight and health during this period of their life.
