Composition Of Milk From Pony Mares Fed Various Levels Of Digestible Energy

Increases in energy intake decreased the concentration of total solids, protein, fat and gross energy of mare’s milk. Energy intake had a greater influence on the mare’s body condition than on milk energy production. It was concluded the objective of a feeding program for a lactating mare should be to keep the mare in a desirable body condition rather than to influence milk composition or production.
