概要
Mare nutrition plays a far bigger role in foal development than most horse owners realize and the science is now showing that what happens during pregnancy can influence a foal for life. In this episode, we break down and explore how broodmare diet shapes foal growth, metabolism, and long-term soundness.
From epigenetics and fetal programming to practical feeding strategies for pregnant mares, this conversation connects cutting-edge research with real-world feeding decisions for horse owners, breeders, and equine professionals.
In this episode, we discuss:
- Why broodmare nutrition is critical before conception and during pregnancy
- How epigenetics and fetal programming influence foal development
- The role of energy intake, body condition score, and metabolic health in mares
- What research shows about overfeeding, restriction, and long-term foal outcomes
- And so much more
Whether you’re breeding performance horses, managing a small broodmare herd, or simply want to better understand equine nutrition science, this episode will change how you think about feeding mares and raising foals.
