It is a huge global industry and in Australia it is estimated that the equine industry contributes over $6.3 billion annually to the economy.
Whether you are breeding for passion or for commercial purposes, the feed and
nutrition you provide your horse needs to be carefully selected, monitored and
controlled.
Prepared feeds like Barastoc Breed N Grow products have been scientifically formulated by qualified and experienced equine nutritionists to ensure that they provide a balanced and complete diet. Commercially prepared equine feeds also have the advantage of being economical and they provide a range of individual feeds available to suit your breed.
The portion of feed necessary for the horse depends on several factors like the horses growth rate, level of exercise, temperament, the quality of pastures and the amount of roughage available and whether or not the horse is breeding.
If your horse is breeding, then the nutrition of a mare is extremely important. The birth weight and strength of a new born foal can be directly affected by the quality of diet from its mother - especially during the last third of the pregnancy stage. Once born the foal or suckling relies on the mare's milk to grow and to sustain its bone and muscle development. When a mare is producing her milk, she needs to be in great physical condition to continue providing milk and even more so if she is going to be foal heat breeding. A high-quality feed will ensure that the suckling receives all the necessary nutrients as well.
Barastoc Breed N Grow is a highly palatable pellet formula, ideal for paddock feeding as it has no powders or waste. It contains high quality soybean meal plus additional amino acids to support growth rates in young horses. Macro and trace minerals support good bone growth and development, while added silicon improves bone density.
Regardless of what feed you choose for your stock, it is important to:
- Use the feed properly and follow the feeding recommendations.
- Monitor the horse's condition and adjust the feed as necessary.
