Broodmare nutrition can affect the development of the unborn foal, potentially creating lifetime benefits or issues. For example, two European studies (van der Heyden et al. 2013 and Peugnet et al. 2015) found that feeding mares in the last couple of months of the pregnancy a diet high in grain and low in fibre results in a much higher incidence of leg problems in the new born foals (collectively referred to as Developmental Orthopaedic Disorders – DOD). A different study though (Robles et al. 2017) showed that no inclusion of a concentrate (grain or grain-based feed) in the broodmare’s diet in those later months of the pregnancy results in foals with thinner cannon bones, were less efficient in regulating their blood glucose levels, and had delayed testicular maturation. So, the fundamental point here is that there needs to be a balanced inclusion of key nutrients in the broodmare’s diet to help achieve the best potential outcome for the unborn foal.
