NAF know how vital nutrition is to raising youngstock. A consistent healthy, balanced diet is key for the healthy development of a foal, this avoids growth spurts and maintains a smooth even growth rate. NAF Mare, Foal & Youngstock supplement was created to be a broad spectrum vitamin and mineral supplement that supplies the correct blend of nutrients for healthy growth. Calcium and Phosphorous are in the correct ratio for bone development, with zinc and iron present to ensure that these nutrients are absorbed into the bone.
To assist with healthy cartilage formation copper is added, along with Vitamin E which aides healthy muscle development. Lysine is the first limiting amino acid, which helps to ensure protein is properly utilised. Feeding NAF Mare, Foal & Youngstock supplement as directed will ensure the correct vitamin, micro-nutrient and mineral levels are provided for optimum foal development. It is recommended that this is fed to pregnant mares to allow for the nutrients to be passed onto the foal. NAF recommend that Mare, Foal & Youngstock is fed daily to the mare from three months before foaling through to weaning, and to the foal up until four years of age.
