Feeding broodmares?

[TwigFairweather]

What is everybody feeding their broodmares? Anyone using or have used Dodson & Horrell Suregrow? My mare looks well on it but beginning to look like she needs a bit extra....

decided not to feed suregrow but fed the Mare and youngstock mix instead - Ebi did really well on it

I'm putting mine on to TopSpec AntiLam and Hi-Fi Lite. I emailed TopSpec who were very helpful as i wanted a feed with all the vitamins, etc without the mares putting on weight. They are typical NFs and live on fresh air!

Now thy are exactly the sort that suit suregrow. My mare was a bit top heavy up until now really, but she's in her last three months so I guess that she has started doing her foal, hence she is looking a bit slimmer. Dodson & Horrell recommended that I feed more Alfa A so I'll do that for the time being and maybe add some sugar beet. It's the calories she's lacking as the Suregrow has all the nutrients apparently..

I've just started my lot on Baileys Stud cubes and Baileys Stud Balancer and am confident that they're getting everything they need at the moment...
