Description

In this episode, equine nutritionists Dr. Nicole Rambo and Heather discuss a case study on a foal experiencing growth issues related to hypophysitis. They address common misconceptions about protein levels in creep feeds and emphasize the importance of sufficient nutrition, particularly protein, in the development of young horses. They explain the role of creep feed in bridging the nutritional gap between the mare's milk and the foal's growing needs and the critical nutrients such as trace minerals, vitamins, and amino acids. They also touch on when to transition foals to plant-based proteins and other growth formulas.
