It’s crucial that broodmares eat quality forage throughout gestation and lactation. This is not only important for the mare but also for the foal’s wellbeing.
Mares should be fed 1-2% of their body weight per day in hay. Quality hay will help the broodmare meet important nutritional needs like protein. Protein is especially important during lactation.
We have a variety of forages that are perfect for broodmares, depending on where they are in their pregnancy.
Western Alfalfa Hay: Fescue, weed and blister beetle free. It is soft and leafy, and not moldy or stemmy.
Orchardgrass/Alfalfa Mix: A blend of legume and grass hays for those looking for the best of both worlds. This hay is worry free as it contains no fescue, blister beetles or weeds.
We are here to help you find the perfect forage for your broodmare!
