For Stallions:
Feeding a properly balanced diet, to maintain correct body weight and overall health is vital to ensure optimum breeding performance. In addition, targeted, specific nutrients have been shown to support fertility parameters in both fertile and sub-fertile stallions.
Key nutrients, including certain amino acids, antioxidants - including Vitamin E and Vitamin C - as well as from plant sources help to promote sperm health and motility. Vital trace elements such as zinc, selenium and copper support sperm motility and development, as well as having important roles in testosterone production.
Omega-three fatty acids are important to maintain the integrity of the sperm membrane, and to promote semen quality.
Hard-working stallions may struggle to maintain body weight, so the inclusion of prebiotics and probiotics helps to support digestive health and wellbeing.
Total Fertility combines all these targeted nutrients and more, in a palatable supplement on a linseed base, to help promote optimum fertility and breeding performance in all stallions.
What are the benefits of Total Fertility for stallions?
Amino acids: L-Carnitine plays an important role in energy production in the sperm cell so is important for sperm motility. L-Arginine is also important in energy production and sperm motility, as well as playing a key role in semen quality.
Antioxidants: the very high-fat content of sperm makes it vulnerable to oxidative stress, and the inclusion of antioxidants Vitamin E and Vitamin C, in addition to plant-based antioxidants including beetroot and dry grape extract help reduce oxidation damage, and to maintain structural integrity and motility of the sperm cell.
Trace Elements: Zinc plays a vital role in testosterone production, the production of sperm cells, and sperm motility. Copper is associated with libido and also semen quality. Selenium is important in testicular function and is also an important antioxidant.
Omega 3 fatty acids: play an important role in sperm cell membranes, and dietary supplementation has been shown to improve sperm quality and motility.
Pre and Probiotics: help to support a healthy digestive system and promote optimum nutrient absorption, as well as supporting the immune system in hard-working stallions.
For Mares:
Feeding a properly balanced diet, with a suitably increasing plane of nutrition, in the lead up to covering to maintain correct body weight and overall health is vital to ensure optimum conception rates and a healthy pregnancy. In addition, targeted, specific nutrients have been shown to support fertility parameters in both fertile and sub-fertile mares.
What are the benefits of Total Fertility for mares?
Amino acids: L-Carnitine plays an important role in supporting follicular development. L-Arginine supports the development of a healthy placenta.
Antioxidants: provided from key antioxidant vitamins E and C, in addition to plant-based antioxidants including beetroot and dry grape extract to reduce oxidative stress which will impact on fertility and support natural uterine defence mechanisms. Vitamin E is provided from the natural RRR source, which has increased bioavailability in the horse and is important to supplement throughout the winter when grazing may be reduced.
Trace Elements: are often marginal in forage based broodmare diets, post weaning and pre covering. Zinc, Copper and Selenium are key trace minerals, which play key roles in promoting optimum fertility in mares. Selenium is also an important antioxidant.
Omega 3 fatty acids: play an important role in fertility and overall wellbeing, and dietary supplementation has been shown to support follicular growth and embryo quality, as well supporting the mares’ anti-inflammatory processes post-covering.
Pre and Probiotics: help to support a healthy microbiome and promote optimum nutrient absorption, in addition to supporting the immune system in broodmares (as well as the transfer of immunity to their foals through colostrum).
Mycosorb: a mycotoxin binder, to reduce the risk of mycotoxins impacting negatively on fertility.
