Nutrition plays a significant role in producing a robust and sound horse. To grow correctly and achieve their full genetic potential, foals must receive a nutritionally balanced diet adequate in energy, protein, vitamins, and minerals. During a foal's life, there are certain times when it's critical to feed a nutritionally correct diet. At 2-4 months when the nutritional value of a mare's milk may not be adequate to meet the growing foal's dietary requirements, as well as 4-6 months when foals are usually weaned. Vitamins and minerals are essential for correct growth; calcium, phosphorous, and magnesium are vital for bone matrix development; copper, zinc, and manganese for collagen, cartilage, and skeletal tissue development; vitamins A, D, and E for muscle development.
