Ask the Nutritionist: Dr. Getty's Forum for Equine Nutrition
Welcome to my forum.
Here you will find more than 6 years of questions and my answers. It is searchable and offers a great deal of information.
Currently, I am discontinuing new questions. This may change in the future, but in the meantime, please know that It has been a true pleasure serving you.
Take a look at my Nutrition Library and Tips of the Month for a variety of answers on selected topics. Be sure to sign up for my monthly e-newsletter, Forage for Thought.
I also have a growing number of recordings on "Teleseminars on Nutrition Topics that Concern You" as well as the new, Spotlight on Equine Nutrition Series -- printed versions of favorite teleseminars.
And finally, look for my articles in a variety of local publications and online newsletters, as well as the Horse Journal, where I am the Contributing Nutrition Editor.
All the best,
Dr. Getty
Hi Ivette,
You can continue feeding Safe Choice but during the last three months of pregnancy, she will require more calories. She'l be steadily gaining weight so you should increase the number of meals she receives, being careful to not exceed 4 lbs per meal.
And, yes, a supplement to fill in the gaps is very important, even now. I recommend Mare/Foal IIP.
Give her all the grass hay she wants, along with 30 to 40% alfalfa. And, make sure she gets plain, white salt along with clean, temperature controlled water. This is very important for adequate milk production.
Happy Foaling!
