What do mares eat?

Mares in foal need to have a higher protein content in their feed compared to a non-pregnant mare especially the last 3 months when a foal does the greatest amount of growing. A protein level near 16% and a good vitamin mineral mix with high vit D and calcium should be fed the last 3 months. A mare that is working will need more calories and protein earlier than one that isn't being worked.

What is lactation in cattle?

How are mares and highlands similar?

What months do mares go in heat?

Generally, the natural time of year for a mare to cycle is spring, summer and part of the fall. However, mares can cycle year round as long as the photo period is long enough. Breeders can also stimulate cycling by providing additional light beginning in November or December in order to breed for early foals. Creating an artificial breeding season is generally associated with the racing and futurity breeds where competition at a young age makes foals born in January-March (in the northern hemisphere) more desirable.

What causes an excessive lactation?

Excessive lactation, or hyperlactation, can be caused by several factors, including hormonal imbalances, particularly elevated levels of prolactin. Certain medications, such as antipsychotics or antidepressants, can also stimulate milk production. Additionally, frequent breastfeeding or pumping can lead to increased milk supply due to the principle of supply and demand. Underlying medical conditions, such as thyroid disorders, may also contribute to excessive lactation.


How can one acquire the services of a lactation consultant?

In the UK, Lactation consultants typically work in three ways: privately, via the NHS, or voluntarily. Many lactation consultants are self-employed and advertise themselves via their own websites. For NHS jobs, it is possible to search for lactation related jobs via the NHS careers website but there are currently no vacancies listed. Hopsitals and GP surgeries will typically employ lactation consultants so another option would be to make speculative applications to these places. There are many opportunities for lactation consultant jobs in the USA. These are advertised by general jobs websites.
