- Breeding
Breeding is an ideal feed for brood mares in all stages of gestation, lactation and all the way through weaning as well as foals from creep feeding through yearlings. Breeding is formulated and balanced with the precise balance of vitamins and minerals needed to carry a mare through pregnancy and for a growing foal. We have included Natural Source Vitamin E, Organic Selenium, Organic Chromium (for stress management & insulin support), as well as CalSea, a fast acting marine based calcium that buffers stomach acid, aids in the prevention and relief of gastric ulcers and aids the development of bone density. This is the perfect feed for any breeding program from the home bred to the professional breeding farm.
