Developing healthy bones is crucial to a horse’s health and performance, something serious breeders are all too aware of. Nutrition plays an essential role in this, and this already starts when the mare is still pregnant. With Pavo Podo®Lac Muesli you optimally support the mare during pregnancy and lactation – and therefore also the unborn foal. It all starts with the mare Normally, mare’s milk contains too little copper and zinc to provide the foal with the necessary amounts. While these nutrients are necessary for the healthy development of bones, organs, fur and digestion. It is therefore very important to increase the supply of copper and zinc in the last three months of gestation, so that they reach the unborn foal via the umbilical cord and thus build up a reserve supply. In the first three months of life, this supply gradually becomes available and the foal can use it for healthy development. Pavo Podo®Lac Muesli contains all important nutrients for both the mare and the unborn foal. Pavo Podo® concept Pavo has always done a lot of research into the ideal feed for breeding and from this the Pavo Podo® concept has been developed. The Podo® concept is a unique mineral mix that has been scientifically proven to reduce the risk of developing OC(D) in young horses by 50%. Even if the foal has not yet been born, the Podo® concept supports the growing foal with all the necessary nutrients precisely during this crucial period in which the bones are developing. Protein and energy In addition, sufficient energy and proteins are of great importance during the gestation and lactation period. Pavo Podo®Lac Muesli contains a large amount of energy from the unique and very valuable energy source rice bran, supplemented with soybean oil and linseed oil. Soy flour and soy flakes have been added as high-quality protein sources. The combination of the high fat content and the high quantity and quality of proteins ensures that the mare maintains a healthy body condition during pregnancy and lactation. In addition, the proteins in Pavo Podo®Lac Muesli also support milk production.
