THE greatest in-utero foal growth and nutrient demand occurs during the last trimester of pregnancy. Providing the mare with high-quality forage and a feed designed for pregnant mares will provide her with the bulk of her nutritional requirements.

It is important breeders don’t neglect Vitamin E levels for broodmares in the final weeks of the last trimester. Whether your mare has access to good grass and what additional feed she is receiving will determine her nutrient requirement.
