Mare & Foal
For the Mare   For the Foal
In the last trimester of her pregnancy, your brood mare needs twice the calcium and phosphorus in her diet to produce that strong thrifty foal you are looking forward to. SURELIFE meets your broodmare’s higher nutritional needs. The newborn foal’s nursing further accelerates the nutritional demand on your mare. Your broodmare’s nutritional status will have a lasting impact on her foal’s development and maturation. Our selenium levels and zinc/copper ratios assure optimum nutritional levels for your lactating mare. Your mare’s fertility is impacted by her nutritional state, especially if you are sending her back to the stallion while she is nursing.   Vitamin A is not passed through the placenta to your foal. Vitamin A deficiency jeopardizes the immune system, increasing the potential for contracting contagious respiratory and diarrheal illnesses. You need a thrifty foal and SURELIFE helps you achieve this goal by maximizing the nutrients in your mare’s milk. In the fetus and for the first 8 weeks after birth, the development of your foal’s tendons, ligaments and cartilage is rapidly taking place. Cellular growth and division is occurring at a phenomenal rate and requires a substantial amount of glucose. Our biotin, involved in glucose metabolism, plays a crucial role in the health of your foal. Additionally, SURELIFE’s increased lysine levels provide an ample amount of this growth amino acid to get your foal off to a healthy start.
