A balanced diet is crucial for the optimal development of the foal and to maintain the mare in good health. Nutrition During Mare Pregnancy Pregnancy in mares lasts approximately 11 months. During this period, the mare's nutritional needs gradually change but become particularly important in the last three months, when the fetus experiences its greatest growth. Energy and Protein Increased energy intake: Pregnant mares require an increase in their caloric intake, especially during the last trimester of gestation. This can be accomplished by increasing the amount of high quality forage and, if necessary, energy concentrates. High-quality protein: Protein requirements are also increasing, with essential amino acids being crucial for fetal development. Vitamins and Minerals Calcium and phosphorus: Essential for the skeletal development of the foal. Zinc, Copper and Selenium: Important for fetal health and immunity support. Vitamins A, D and E: Crucial for the development and health of the mare and fetus. Nutrition During Mare Lactation After birth, the mare's nutritional needs increase significantly to support milk production. Lactation is the time when the mare has the highest energy needs. Energy Significantly increased energy intake: To support milk production, energy intake must be significantly increased. This may require careful diet management to avoid excess weight while still providing enough energy. Protein and Other Protein Nutrients: Protein intake must remain high to support the production of high-quality milk. Calcium and phosphorus: The demand for these minerals remains high to maintain the health of the mare and the quality of the milk. Vitamins: Vitamin requirements, particularly vitamin E, are increasing to aid postpartum recovery and support the foal's immune health. Tips for Balanced Nutrition Regular monitoring: Monitoring weight and body condition is essential to adjust diet according to changing needs. Quality of fodder: Fodder should form the basis of the diet, supplemented with concentrates if necessary. Hydration: Ensuring constant access to clean, fresh water is vital, especially during lactation. Expert Consultation: Work with a veterinarian or equine nutritionist to develop a personalized dietary plan.
