Lactating Mares - Feed Hyfeed Intence & Soygize

Do you know that a lactating mare at the peak of lactation (4-10weeks after foaling) requires higher protein, Calcium, Phosphorus & Vitamin A intake each day then a similar sized horse performing moderate-intense work for up to 60min daily?

They require around 2.5-3.0% of body weight in feed per day. With some mares consuming up to 3.5%. This is 3kg/100kg of body weight (15kg/day for a 500kg horse). Crude protein requirements are 12-14%, with Lysine being 0.41% of feed.

Don't forget to weigh your feed (don't go by volume) to ensure your mare & foal are having their nutritional needs met.
An adequate supply of good quality water is critical to maintain milk production in mares, especially during hot weather.

Hyfeed Intence & Soygize are ideal supplements for lactating mares to help meet protein & Lysine requirements.
