#5-New Research Demonstrates Improved Mare Colostrum Quality

Through Targeted Nutrition

New research conducted by Freedom Health, LLC shows that SUCCEED™Digestive Conditioning Program™has a positive effect on the immunoglobulin levels of a mare’s milk, or colostrum, when added to the diet 90 days prior to foaling.

The study found that mares on SUCCEED had a dramatic and statistically significant 97% increase in colostrum immunoglobulin levels compared with mares not receiving SUCCEED. The transfer of IgG via colostrum from the mare to the foal within the first 24 hours post foaling is critical for good foal immunity and early health.

Research has shown that foals receiving quality colostrum - with high IgG levels - are more resistant to bacterial and disease challenges and gain weight better than foals fed lower-quality colostrum. Therefore, the ability to influence colostrum quality through the nutrition of the mare is extremely valuable for all breeders.
