KNOWLEDGE HUB
WE’RE DEDICATED TO SEPARATING THE WHEAT FROM THE CHAFF
There’s a lot of information on feeding horses out there – some of it’s accurate, and some of it’s not. At FeedXL it is our mission to educate horse owners so that they understand nutrition better and can make more informed feed choices. We cut through all the marketing bias and personal opinion and get to the facts. Our articles are always easy-to-read and backed by science. We hope you enjoy them and can use the information in them practically, with your own horses. If there’s a topic you’d love to see an article on, please just get in touch.
MONTHLY FOCUS ARTICLE:
FEEDING THE LACTATING MARE
Getting a lactating mare’s feeding right is critical to ensure she can provide milk for her foal and provide the required nutrients for a foetus if she is pregnant again. A balanced diet is also essential to keep the mare healthy so that she can continue to reproduce or go back into work after her foal at foot is weaned.
As for all horses, a mare’s requirement for energy (calories), protein, vitamins and minerals must be met. These nutrients and the role they play in a lactating mare’s diet are looked at in this month’s focus article.
