Grasses with oxalate levels greater than 0.5% (i.e., 5g of oxalate/kg of grass) are hazardous and can lead to calcium deficiency, osteoporosis, osteodystrophia fibrosa (ODF), nutritional secondary hyperparathyroidism (NSH), and 'bighead'.

As your mare approaches her foaling date, it’s an exciting period filled with anticipation as both she and the foal grow rapidly. The last trimester, covering the 9th to 11th months of pregnancy, is crucial as the foal’s growth accelerates, gaining up to 500 grams daily and reaching 60% of its birth weight. During these final months, the foal deposits most of its bone calcium and builds liver stores of essential minerals for post-birth growth. Since these minerals are low in mare’s milk, adequate liver reserves are vital to prevent developmental orthopaedic diseases (DOD) in young horses. Minerals are essential during growth, reproduction, and lactation. To support the rapidly growing foetus, the mare’s calcium and mineral needs increase, making it crucial to provide sufficient minerals.
