NAF Mare Foal And Youngstock

Nutrition plays a vital role in the healthy development of youngstock. Providing a constant and balanced diet is crucial to ensure steady and even growth, avoiding growth spurts. NAF has developed Mare, Foal and Youngstock, a comprehensive vitamin and mineral supplement that supports the specific nutritional needs of growing foals.

Mare, Foal and Youngstock provide the essential nutrients for optimal bone development, including the correct ratio of calcium and phosphorus. Zinc and iron are included to enhance nutrient absorption into the bones. Copper supports healthy cartilage formation, while vitamin E promotes muscle development. Lysine, an essential amino acid, ensures proper protein utilisation.

Feeding Mare, Foal and Youngstock as directed to both the mare and the foal ensures they receive the necessary micro-nutrients, vitamins, and minerals for optimal development. Providing the mare with this nutritional support before foaling enables her to pass on the required nutrient levels to her foal. NAF recommends feeding Mare, Foal and Youngstock daily to the mare from three months before foaling until weaning and to the foal until four years of age.

It is essential to follow the recommended feeding guidelines and consult with a veterinarian or equine nutritionist to tailor the diet to the specific needs of the mare and foal. Proper nutrition during the early stages of life sets the foundation for healthy growth and development. Do not exceed recommended rates.

Key benefits:

• Add to feed daily to balance the diet of broodmares and growing youngsters, particularly those on a high-fibre, low concentrate ration
• Provides micronutrients essential to healthy growth and development
