Prepare your mare
for breeding
NEWARK, Del. - A
successful horse
breeding program
depends upon a properly
conditioned mare, says
C. M. Reitnour, Un
iversity of Delaware
Extension equine
specialist. Proper
nutrition, a sound
program of preventive
medicine, and adequate
exercise are of utmost
importance in con
ditioning.
A good program of
preventive medicine
include
should
prevention and control
of internal parasites as
well as immunization
against diseases, says
the specialist. Worm
mares every six to eight
weeks with recom
mended anthelmintics
to prevent or control
such troublesome in
ternal parasites as hots,
strongyles, ascands,
and pinworms. Vac
cinate the animals
against tetanus, eastern
and western en
cephalomyelitis, and
possibly upper
respiratory problems
such as equine viral
rhmopneumomtis, Rei
tnour advises.
To prepare a mare for
breeding, feed her a
well-balanced grain
ration containing ap
proximately 15 percent
crude protein, about 75
percent total digestible
nutrients, plus high
quality alfalfa or alfalfa
grass hay. If good
quality roughage is not
available, make sure
the horse has a sup
plemental source of
vitamins and minerals,
Reitnour says.
The highest con
ception rates occur
when mares are in
excellent physical
condition neither too
fat nor too thin, the
specialist says. Mares
that are gaming weight
going into the breeding
season conceive more
easily than those that
are extremely over
weight or underweight.
For adequate- exercise
mares should be turned
out, lunged, ndden or
meeting begins at 8 p.m. and is
opened to the pubhe.
