Product Overview
Evolution Maternity is a low glycemic, multiparticle feed (contains pelleted and extruded components) for late gestation and lactating mares and for nursing and growing foals. Evolution Maternity utilizes the latest nutritional research on the requirements vital for optimal milk production and sound growth. Formulated with proven quality ingredients and manufactured exclusively by Cargill in a specialized drug‑free facility.
Feeding rates
Evolution Maternity is recommended for the gestating, lactating mare and nursing foal. Feed in conjunction with water and a minimum of 1% body weight (on a dry matter basis) of a long stemmed forage (hay/pasture). Feed according to the following table, whereby the lower quantity meets minimum vitamin and mineral requirements and the higher quantity meets Purina Superior Recommendations. Ideally, feed enough to achieve desired body condition, and for every kilogram under the Purina Superior recommendation, provide 275 grams of Purina Optimal (35720). Depending on hay analysis, Equilizer (35710) may be better suited as the optional top-dress supplement.
To optimize the diet
- Purina recommends analyzing your hay and balancing the ration accordingly.
- Feed clean and dust free hay in sufficient amount daily. Feeding poor quality hay or feeding inadequate amounts could cause colic and other digestive upsets.
- Offer source of salt (NaCl) daily as well as plenty of fresh and clean water at all times.
- Make any feed change gradually over a 7 to 10 days period.
- Daily ration should be divided into 2 and preferably 3 separate feedings or more.
- Use a scale to weigh your feed so you know exactly how much your horse is being fed. Do not feed by volume.
- Purina recommends providing a maximum of 0.5% of body weight of this feed at one time.
- These recommendations are intended as a guide. They should be adjusted to variables of management, environment and individual needs. Consult your Purina Equine Consultant if necessary.
- Follow sound management practices along with optimal preventive veterinary medicine.
