Marine
Derived
Calcium,
research shows it has
three main benefits
for
our
horse’s
health;
stabilises
gut PH, improves
ga strointestina l
health and helps in
preventing skeletal
issues by improving
bone density and
strength. To further
support
optimal
growth and sound
development,
KER
micronutrients
are
incorporated
including
chelated
trace minerals and
B-vitamins, such as
Biotin, Folic Acid and
Selenium.
Kenneth
Irwin
spoke about the
launch of this new
innovative breeding
cube:
“We
have
worked hard with
Kentucky
Equine
Research, leaders in
equine nutrition, to
develop a product
that supports the
broodmares
long
before breeding right
through until the foal
is on the ground.
Mare Prepare has
been formulated to
support broodmares
including those with
fertility issues to
meet the demands
of producing healthy
foals. We have had
some really positive
feedback
from
customers trialling
this product and
are looking forward
to hearing more
after the product is
launched.”

full benefit of the
recommended levels
of DHA and EPA feed

an average 500kg

barren mares 60 days
prior to breeding to
OMEGA-3:
Studies have
shown that foals
out of mares
supplemented
with mega-3
fatty acids
seemed to
have a stronger
immune system
than foals
suckling mares
not fed omega-3
fatty acids.

Kenneth Irwin, M.D
of Bluegrass Horse
Feed,
explained:
“The inclusion of
marine derived oil
negates the need
to feed additional
supplements... Mare
Prepare contains the
recommended
60g
per day, ensuring
your mare receives
the optimal level of
DHA and EPA.”
Stamm
30®,
a
premium balancer, is
fortified within Mare
Prepare to provide
high quality proteins,
vitamins
and
minerals specifically
formulated to meet
the
requirements
of gestating and
lactating
mares.
P r e b i o t i c s ,
probiotics
and
postbiotics
within
Mare
Prepare
enhance
the
bioavailability
of nutrients and
improve
fibre
digestion, promoting
optimal gut health.
An elevated level
of a natural source
of Vitamin E is
incorporated within
Mare Prepare, a
vital
antioxidant,
which
protects
tissues and cells
from
degradation.
In addition, mares
supplemented
with
Vitamin
E
demonstrate
increased
passive
transfer of antibodies
to foals. As the
Vitamin E included
within this product
is natural, it has 180%
more bioavailability
than other synthetic
forms,
meaning
mares
fed
Mare
Prepare
won’t
require
additional
supplementation.
Mare Prepare also
If you feel at any
stage
additional
condition
is
required,
increase
the rate of feeding
or add an additional
calorie source, such
as Bluegrass Stud
Mix, Stud Cubes,
Turmash, Equi-Jewel
or Flax-Plus.
Bluegrass
have
worked hard on the
palatability of the
feed, but as with
most feeds, it is best
to introduce it slowly
over a week to 10
days.
A bag of Mare
Prepare costs about
£5 more per bag
than other Bluegrass
stud feeds, therefore
four bags per month
costs approximately
an extra £20... Money
well spent when
you consider no
additional breeding
supplements should
be needed!

OLLOW ING
extensive
research
and working
closely with
Kentucky
Equine
Research, Bluegrass
Horse Feed have
developed a brandnew product, Mare
Prepare.
Mare Prepare has
been
formulated
specifically
to
support broodmares,
in particular those
with fertility issues,
to meet the demands
of producing healthy
foals. It has been
carefully
designed
with the scientific
support of Kentucky
Equine Research, it
is a one-stop shop in
broodmare nutrition
when it comes to
supporting optimal
fertility,
breeding
performance
and
reproductive
recovery.
The inclusion of
Marine
Derived
Oil high in Omega
Fatty Acids is what
provides the high
levels
of
longchain
omega-3
poly unsaturated
fatty acids, DHA
(do co s a he x ae no ic
acid)
and
EPA
(e icosap e ntae noic
acid),
which
benefit fertility and
reproductive health.
Research has shown
that supplementation
of pregnant mares
with DHA and EPA
results in better
endometrial scores,
which are indicators
of uterine health,
compared
with
u n - supplemented
mares.
Supplementation of
pregnant mares with
DHA and EPA confers
benefits, such as
mares
effectively
incorporating
these fatty acids
into their milk, so
supplementation of
the mare provides
for the suckling foal.
Broodmares on diets
high in omega-3 fatty
acids may produce
richer
colostrum.
Studies
have
shown that foals of
supplemented mares
seemed to have a
stronger
immune
system than foals
suckling mares not
fed omega-3 fatty
acids. Other findings
suggest that mares
