What is Equistro Megabase Fertility Vetoquinol 5 kg used for?
Complementary mineral feed in pellet form , particularly recommended for broodmares in the third trimester of pregnancy and during lactation. Promotes maximum fertility and guarantees healthy bone growth in foals. Can also be used for yearlings.
Equistro Megabase Fertility Vetoquinol 5 kg is a high-quality mineral and vitamin supplement that is particularly recommended:
- for broodmares in preparation for the breeding season, to promote good fertility,
- for pregnant and lactating broodmares (especially during the last three months of gestation and the first two months of lactation), to promotehealthy foal growth,
- for yearlings, to promote harmonious development.
Equistro Mega Base Fertility is rich in :
- trace elements (notably copper and zinc), in IPALIGO® form for better assimilation, at concentrations adapted to the needs of the pregnant broodmare,
- vitamins, notably vitamin E and vitamin C, powerful antioxidants,
- amino acids (lysine, methionine and threonine), essential for muscle and bone protein synthesis.
Malnutrition in a pregnant broodmare will never be compensated for after foaling. Worse still, it is often the cause of abortions, premature births or stunted foals... poor nutrition can also lead to fertility problems, which are probably underestimated at present, as they are masked by symptoms that are difficult to detect: discreet, late heat, ovulatory difficulties. The brood mare must be given a quality diet from the very first months of gestation.
A mare's gestation period lasts around 11 months. In general, foaling takes place between January and May for racing mares and between March and July for sport, leisure and draft mares. Spring foaling allows us to make the most of the abundant, rich grass resources, sufficient to meet the needs of the lactating mare.
At 8 months gestation, the foetus weighs just 8 kg. It really begins to grow, reaching 50 kg at birth. It therefore gains more than 40 kg in the last 3 months. The fodder available in this winter season has a low nutritional content (hay) or is available in small quantities (winter grass), providing too little of the proteins, vitamins and trace elements essential to the fetus's development. Added to this is the fact that the mare's capacity to ingest decreases, due to the space occupied by the foetus, hence the need to supplement the supply of forage with a feed ration adapted to the broodmare's needs.
Equistro mégabase Junior is also available from the Vetoquinol veterinary laboratory, at the best price in our online pharmacy.
