Description
Problems it Addresses
Calorie requirements vary widely between broodmares and growing horses and must be addressed separately from other nutrient requirements. When compounded feeds are used, the nutrients added to the feed are “force fed” into the horse at indiscriminate amounts in order to meet the calorie requirements to grow the fetus, lactate or gain weight. This leads to over-supplementation of horses requiring a high-calorie intake at their higher feeding levels and insufficient nutrient supplementation of the easy keeper mares.
The Solution
Life Data® Broodmare and Growing Horse allow the horse owner to separate the calorie requirements for gestation, lactation, or growth from other nutrient requirements. Proper feeding during gestation and growth results in a healthier horse!
Give hay and/or pasture for roughage, Life Data®Broodmare, Growing Horse for nutrients, and whole oats as an additional calorie source to maintain body condition.
Each 11 lb. bag is a thirty-day supply for an adult 1,000 lb. broodmare or a growing horse with an expected adult weight of 1,000 lbs.
