Breeding Horse Feed
 Horses of both sexes being prepared for breeding need
suitable food containing all the essential nutrients. This also applies to Mares that are pregnant,
lactating, and to young horses. Naturally
many feed manufacturers make special food for these horses.
Ridley AgriProducts make “Breed n Grow” which is a popular
feed. The Laucke equivalent is “Cool
+”. This is similar to Breed n Grow, but
not very popular, despite being slightly cheaper. I suspect that the problem with Cool + is its
name, which doesn’t clearly identify it as a food for breeding horses.
Another popular breeding food is “Breeda” from
Mitavite. Mitavite also make a cheaper
breeding food. Although “Studgro” is not
as popular as Breeda, it has a following.
Several of the horse breeder who buy from us use both Breeda and
Studgro. They choose to use Studgro for
those horses which need a good feed, but not one as rich in nutrients as
Breeda.
