SPILLERS®, the reliable name in
equine nutrition, is emphasising the importance
of providing the right nutritional support
for foals, right from the start. The feed
manufacturer is offering a comprehensive
free guide to managing and feeding mares
and youngstock, to help new or less experienced
breeders make the right decisions about
nutrition.
Clare Barfoot BSc (Hons) RNutr, registered
nutritionist and the research and development
manager for SPILLERS® says: “Correct
nutritional for foals, youngstock and
in-foal mares is essential in order to
produce a sound, healthy and successful
athlete for whatever level and type of
equestrian use. Not only will it support
overall health now, but also the future
health and longevity of the animal.”
Research conducted by WALTHAM®, which
provides the science behind the SPILLERS®
brand, has led the tried and trusted feed
manufacturer to produce three different
feeds for broodmares, foals and youngstock.
All have been expertly formulated through
proven research to support immunity and
digestive health, as well as muscle and
topline development.
SPILLERS® Stud Cubes,
SPILLERS® Stud and Youngstock Mix
and SPILLERS® Youngstock pellets all
benefit from added immune support in the
form of Vitamin C and ingredients rich
in glutamine which may be beneficial during
times of stress e.g. Weaning. High Vitamin
E levels are also included, which are
proven to support the transfer of passive
immunity via the mare’s colostrums
to the foal. All three feeds have been
formulated to support digestive health
with added live yeast and ingredients
to encourage butyrate production which
is important in the development and health
of the digestive tract.
WALTHAM® research has confirmed the
importance of protein quality for optimum
growth, with lysine and threonine being
the most influential amino acids. This
is why SPILLERS® Stud Cubes, SPILLERS®
Stud and Youngstock Mix and SPILLERS®
Youngstock pellets all contain optimal
levels of lysine, methionine and threonine
to support the development of exceptional
muscle and topline development.
In addition high levels of folic acid
support the increased requirement during
pregnancy, lactation and growth and a
high specification of vitamins and minerals,
including chelated trace elements have
been incorporated to support overall wellbeing
and fertility.
