Breeding & Youngsters – Nutrition for Life’s Early Stages

A good start in life begins already in the womb. During pregnancy, a mare’s need for nutrition and certain essential micronutrients gradually increases. This affects both the mare’s health and the foal’s future development.

Foaling places great demands on the body, and both mare and foal need support for recovery and growth. The first hours and weeks are critical for the foal’s immune system, metabolism, and skeletal development.

As the foal grows into a young horse, the need for nutritional balance continues – with a focus on bone structure, muscles, and digestion. Young horses have sensitive digestive systems and high nutritional needs relative to their body weight, and the right support can be crucial for sustainable development.

In the articles below, we’ve gathered knowledge, tips, and facts for each phase – from pregnancy to young horse.
