India has the best indigenous Equine breeds that are highly compatible in performance perspective with the outsourced thoroughbreds. But the irony is we are still lagging miles back in rearing and breeding perspective. The goal of any breeding program is to produce strong sound foals. To do this there are several factors involved including genetics, environment and nutrition. Nutrition is a critical piece of any successful breeding operation and must be considered at every level: Stallions, mares, foals.
Mares are expected to grow a healthy foal inside them for 11 months and produce enough milk for that foal for up to 6 months. Furthermore, many mares are expected to raise healthy foals year after year, requiring successful re-breeding while the previous year’s foal is still by her side. Because nutrition influences each stage of the broodmare’s production cycle, nutritional management may, in many ways, determine the success of the breeding program. Nutritional management is a simple, yet cost effective tool that we can apply to ensure normal reproductive cycles, improved conception rates and increased pregnancy maintenance in mares to ensure overall reproductive success.
We at HAF® have always emphasized on systematic Nutrition Plan for different stages of life process. By following / implementing the same we achieve best in line off springs and zero critical situation management. HAF® Broodmare Feed and HAF® Stallion Breeder Feed are the best solution to all breeding challenges that the Industry is facing today in Indigenous and Foreign breeds. Breeder’s emphasis more on the Blood Line, but without proper Nutrition plan, blood lines for breeding will have the least relevance.
