Purina® Ultium® Growth Horse Formula is the result of research spanning over four years to develop a new feed formulated specifically for young growing athletes. Purina performed detailed scientific feeding trials on broodmares and young horses from multiple foal crops at varying ages, breeds and management situations. The research involved monitoring and measuring growth curves, body condition, joint health, activity levels, blood work and more to ensure optimal nutrient delivery to broodmares and growing horses.
The result was unique, industry-leading nutrition proven to support the development, growth and adaptive physiology necessary to produce a strong, healthy athletic horse. It’s another offering of advanced nutrition worthy of the Purina name. Purina® Ultium® Growth Horse Formula. It’s What It Takes®.
NEEDS OF BROODMARES & GROWING HORSES
MARE IN FOAL
Ultium® Growth Horse Formula contains a concentrated
calorie delivery system that supports the mare through all stages of gestation,
with more total calories from added fat and fiber and lower sugar and starch.
Lower feeding rates help support digestive health during this essential
time.
Your foal’s best start begins with proper fetal development. Ultium® Growth Horse Formula provides research-determined amounts of nutrients, including copper and zinc for developing fetal liver stores to set the foundation for correct growth.
LACTATION/SUCKLING FOAL
Suckling foals may nurse up to 80 times per day.
Ultium® Growth Horse Formula provides additional milk components to support
immune function, calorie, and nutrient transfers to active, growing foals.
Lactating mares can require over 35,000 kcal/day to produce adequate milk and maintain body condition. The concentrated calorie delivery system of Ultium® Growth Horse Formula provides the necessary calories during this critical period for both mare and foal sustenance.
WEANLING/YEARLING
Ultium® Growth Horse Formula helps support strong bone
development by using high-quality nutrient sources. Amino acids, vitamins and
minerals are supplied in optimal amounts and ratios as determined by research
studies to provide the necessary building blocks for bone growth.
Young growing horses need carefully-balanced nutrition for optimal muscle
development to grow into successful athletes. The protein quality and amino acid
fortification of Ultium® Growth Horse Formula supports in the foundation,
maturation and maintenance of healthy muscle.
