Pregnancy and, far more demandingly, lactation lift a mare's protein and mineral needs well above maintenance, and a stud feed exists to meet that without simply pouring in more calories from a general-purpose bucket feed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHilight is a merchant brand sold through country stores rather than direct, and runs no product website of its own. We have not reproduced the oil, protein and vitamin figures that circulate on merchant listings, because there is no manufacturer source to check them against. For a broodmare or a growing youngster the declaration on the sack matters more than usual, so read it before you start.\u003c\/p\u003e\u0026lt;\u0026gt;\u003ch5\u003ePerformance \u0026amp; Benefits\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormulated for the broodmare and youngstock end of the range rather than for ridden work.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCube format portions accurately, which is useful when several mares are on different rates.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCubes do not separate in the sack, so the last feed matches the first.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e20kg sack, consistent with the rest of the Hilight range.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA value-priced stud feed, which counts when a mare is on feed for most of a year.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u0026lt;\u0026gt;\u003ch5\u003eSuitable For\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMares in the last third of pregnancy and through lactation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrowing youngstock from weaning onwards.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStuds and yards feeding several mares that need identical, measurable rations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFeeding alongside good grazing or hay, which remains the bulk of the diet.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNot the feed for a mature horse in ridden work with no breeding demands — the Hilight Hi Fibre Horse and Pony Cubes or the Improver Conditioning Cubes fit that job better.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u0026lt;\u0026gt;\u003ch5\u003eFeeding\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduce over 7 to 14 days rather than switching a mare or foal abruptly.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFeed to bodyweight, stage of pregnancy or lactation, and condition score.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYoungstock rates should follow a target growth rate, not the youngster's appetite.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSplit the daily amount across at least two feeds.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHilight publish no feeding rates online.
