Feed for mares, nursing and growing foals
Evolution Maternity is a low glycemic, multiparticle feed (contains pelleted and extruded components) for late gestation and lactating mares and for nursing and growing foals. Evolution Maternity utilizes the latest nutritional research on the requirements vital for optimal milk production and sound growth. Formulated with proven quality ingredients and manufactured exclusively by Cargill in a specialized drug‑free facility.
Characteristics
Contains reduced starch and higher fat and fibre content (commonly referred to as low glycemic)
- Delivers sensible calories (energy) for optimal growth and milk production.
- A calorie blend designed to help minimize DOD’s (Developmental Orthopedic Diseases) by controlling insulin response in mare and foal.
- Helps minimize gut upset (colic) by preventing starch overload in the hindgut.
- Proven to effectively lessen glycemic and insulin response.
Contains a high pectin fibre source (beet pulp)
- A highly fermentable fibre source providing needed calories for milk production and growth.
- Helps maintain a healthier hindgut pH and microbial population.
Contains Athlete™, Purina’s unique extruded high fat supplement with flaxseed (an excellent source of Omega‑3) with a 5:1 balanced Omega-6 to Omega‑3 ratio
- Higher digestibility and calorie (energy) availability.
- Improves hair coat and skin condition.
- Supports immune function and anti-inflammatory properties.
- Omega‑3 fatty acids shown to enhance insulin efficiency thus reducing insulin resistance.
- Important for proper cognitive development.
- Promotes improved fertility in mares.
Contains Horse Plus™, Purina’s exclusive blend of Vitamin C, and a full complement of all B vitamins including biotin
- Helps support proper immune function and overall health.
- Essential for proper utilization or energy for growth and milk production.
- Helps enhance fertility.
Contains prebiotics and probiotics
- Helps promote good gut bacteria and protect against harmful bacteria for improved gut health.
- Supports antibodies (IgG, IgA, IgM) production in colostrum.
Contains balanced amino acids with added Lysine & Methionine
- Provides building blocks for improved muscle and joint development and milk production.
Contains organic copper, zinc, manganese and selenium
- Increases absorption and enhances trace mineral bioavailability to improve immune response and bone development and decrease the risk of DOD’s.
- Supports the transplacental transfer of selenium during late gestation.
Contains Yeast Culture
- Improves hindgut fermentation which increases energy, protein and phosphorus utilization.
Contains an elevated level of selenium (0.4 ppm)
- Important antioxidants.
- Preventing foal selenium deficiencies.
