Horse Feed, KING BRAND CarboRaider Mare & Foal, 50 lb.

Recent studies on fetal and foal feeding suggest that low sugar/starch maternal and foal diets may minimize rapid growth that contribute to abnormal bone development and may prevent the development of insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome later in life.

As the unborn foal grows, the mare consumes less hay and supplementing with a concentrated nutritionally balanced feed is recommended for healthy foal development.  Maintaining body condition of the mare does not guarantee a healthy foal if the mare’s diet is lacking in essential amino acids.  Quality, quantity and composition of the mare’s milk and colostrum are also affected by sugar/starch levels, fiber and essential amino acids.

CarboRaider Mare and Foal’s low sugar/starch formula, fiber, essential amino acids, vitamins and minerals supports fetal
development and improves the quality, quantity and composition of the mare’s milk and colostrum.  CarboRaider Mare and Foal is an excellent creep feed to transition the foal from a liquid to a solid diet.  CarboRaider Mare and Foal is enhanced with eubiotics to optimize the balance of microflora in the G/I tract which modulates the immune system and enhances nutrient absorption and feed utilization.  A balanced ration of energy, high quality protein, vitamins and minerals, CarboRaider Mare and Foal ensures a healthy, smooth growth curve.

Once the foal is born, CarboRaider Mare is an excellent creep feed; correcting for mineral deficiencies in the mare’s milk that may affect bone growth and development and supporting the development of healthy gut microflora for enhanced nutrient absorption and immune response.

When it’s time to wean the foal, CarboRaider Mare and Foal aids in the transition from a liquid to a solid diet, reduces stress,
maintains weight gain and body condition and prevents a growth spike at weaning.  The weanling can then be easily transitioned to CarboRaider Junior for its next growth stage.
