Pavo Podo® Lac Pellets

About Pavo®Lac Pellets

The development of healthy bones and joints is crucial for the health and performance of a horse, something serious breeders are all too aware of. Nutrition plays an essential role in this and it begins while the mare is still pregnant.

Mare Chunk

With the mare chop Pavo Podo®Lac Pellets you give the unborn foal all the important nutrients in advance. Mare’s milk naturally contains too little copper and zinc for foals, while these are necessary for, among other things, a good development of bones, organs, coat and digestive processes. This is why it is so important to increase the amount of copper in the last three months of pregnancy, so that the unborn foal can build up a reserve supply in its liver through the umbilical cord. In the first three months of life, this reserve then gradually becomes available and the foal can use it for a healthy development. The mare chunk Pavo Podo®Lac Pellets contains all important nutrients for the unborn foal and can be fed from the last three months of pregnancy up to and including the suckling period.

Protein in Pavo Podo®Lac Pellets

From years of forage research, we know that the energy and protein values in forage vary greatly and are generally on the low side. While these are in fact very important nutrients during pregnancy and lactation! That is why Pavo Podo®Lac Pellets contains, besides a large amount of vitamin E, also a high protein and fat content.
