The Need
In an ideal world, all foals would be born healthy, vigorous and able to feed well. Unfortunately, at birth the newborn foal can be compromised, debilitated and in a weakened state.
This may be because:
- The foal is weak and unable to nurse.
- The foal has been orphaned for some reason.
- The mare does not produce sufficient milk.
The Benefits of a Foal Milk Pellet
Grober Nutrition conducted a 4 month trial gathering information on the growth and development of foals fed a milk based pellets as the introductory diet.
Grober Foal Milk-Pellet
FoalGro Milk Pellet is now available in 1.5 kg containers, 5 kg pails and 25 kg bags.
A recently published study in the Journal of Dairy Science (Feb. 08) supports the use of nutritional supplements for foals prior to and at time of weaning.
The study found that a lactating mare’s total milk output peaks at approximately 31 days lactation and steadily drops thereafter. The authors of the paper draw the conclusion for foal nutritional supplementation to bridge the gaps during lactation and around the time of weaning.
Grober’s FoalGro Milk Pellets have received excellent feedback from the marketplace. The pellets can be fed as a supplement or complete feed. The pellets, while providing a highly digestible source of grain, also provide the young foal with milk protein.
The young foal is perfectly suited to utilize milk ingredients – the amino acid profile satisfies protein requirements, and the energy (lactose) is highly available to young foals.
Along with the many other features and benefits, FoalGro pellets are an excellent product to build your equine clientele.
