The New Year is the time for breeders to consider their choice of stallion for their mares, and owners of both must make sure they are in the best possible health to ensure a successful outcome for all.

BreedPlus from HiForm has been formulated by leading Australian equine nutritionists, to help support breeding stock by using naturally derived components. It has been designed to be fed as a supplement to the diets of mares and stallions as well as the foals they produce. High in essential vitamins, minerals and trace elements required for the development and regeneration of cells, it has been recognised as an integral dietary addition by many of the UK’s breeders.

Vitamin A is integral to BreedPlus as a deficiency in Vitamin A can lead to a decreased sperm count and motility for stallions so ensuring they are well supplemented is essential. Gut health is important for all horses, especially ones that will have added stress on their bodies, so the inclusion of the super supplement BioEquus which is a symbiotic formulation containing pre and probiotics, that helps to promote a healthy microbial balance in the digestive tract.

Milk Thistle is a herbal extract that is safe to use throughout a mare’s pregnancy and lactation stages and it aids the detoxification of waste products which in turn help allow the antioxidants and anti-inflammatory mediators to take more effect. This addition is targeted towards broodmares and breeding stallions in the hopes that a reduction in toxin load may increase fertility rates and milk production, proving of great importance for lactating mares.

Composed of high-quality ingredients with natural properties that help to maintain a robust immune system and healthy brain function, HiForm BreedPlus contains Calcium and Phosphorus, both of which are considered essential for optimal development of the musculoskeletal system. Supplying the correct ratio of these minerals is important to maximise calcium absorption, which when feeding to young stock helps with the balanced development of foals throughout their younger years.

BreedPlus has been adopted by some of the country’s leading riders and breeders. Sharon Hunt an Olympian whose competition record exudes success, has also focused on her own breeding program in the hopes of breeding her next future eventing star. Sharon comments:

 ‘’I have been feeding HiForm BreedPlus to my horses for approximately 7 months now. Due to the amazing effects I’ve seen it have on my pregnant mares, I have now started feeding BreedPlus to my young horses too.  I have great faith in the product.’’
