Nutrena SafeChoice Mare & Foal is a controlled starch feed for pregnant or lactating mares and growing horses through the second year.

Great feeding solution for both to shareUsing on a nurse mare who was in rough shape. She has gained weight and her coat looks super. Foal seems to enjoy it too.
how much should you feed of this grain, to a mare who is 6 months pregnant? or should I wait to switch her during her last trimester?
Asked by: kaylee2018
Hello, Thanks for the question! You can feed the SafeChoice Mare & Foal feed throughout gestation, and just increase the amount as your mare reaches that last trimester. The feeding rate for the first part of her pregnancy is 0.25-0.5 lbs per 100 lbs of bodyweight, which is 2.5 to 5 lbs per day for a 1,000 lb horse. Once she reaches that last trimester, then it bumps up to 0.5-1.0 lbs per 100 lbs of bodyweight, or 5-10 lbs per day for a 1,000 lb horse. Find the feeding rate in there that maintains her in the correct body condition, along with good quality hay or pasture. Hope that helps, let us know if you have further questions!

I have a underweight senior horse. Can he be fed this mare and foal feed? Particularly to help his topline with a score of D?
Asked by: Mustangirl6
Hello, Thanks for the question. While the Mare & Foal feed wouldn't be our typical recommendation for a senior horse, as long as he can chew his feed properly, it would be OK - it might be overkill and more than he needs in some other nutrient areas, where the SafeChoice Senior or SafeChoice Original would be more suited to his needs. If you feed any of those products according to directions for his desired body weight and activity level, you should see his topline develop over about a 60-90 day period.
