Robank Mare Nuts 20kg is a specially formulated, complete and balanced breeding horse feed designed to support the nutritional requirements of broodmares, pregnant and lactating mares, weanlings, yearlings and growing horses.

Developed by Robank Feeds Australia, Mare Nut combines quality grains, protein sources, essential amino acids, vitamins, minerals and advanced digestive-support ingredients in a convenient extruded nut.

Containing 17% protein, 7.5% fat and 12.9MJ/kg digestible energy, Robank Mare Nut provides important nutritional support during pregnancy, lactation and growth.

Specialised Nutrition for Broodmares

Broodmares have changing nutritional requirements throughout their reproductive cycle.

During pregnancy, the developing foal requires nutrients for normal growth and development.

As pregnancy progresses, the mare's nutritional requirements increase, particularly during the final trimester.

Robank Mare Nuts provides a balanced combination of protein, energy, vitamins, minerals and amino acids to support these increased requirements.

Benefits for Pregnant Mares

• Supports normal foetal growth and development
• Supplies essential amino acids
• Provides important trace minerals
• Supports maintenance of healthy body condition
• Helps meet increased nutritional demands during late pregnancy
• Provides selenium and vitamin E as part of a balanced diet

Nutritional Support During Lactation

Milk production significantly increases the nutritional requirements of a broodmare.

Lactating mares require adequate dietary energy, protein, minerals and water to support milk production while maintaining their own body condition.

Robank Mare Nuts provides concentrated nutrition suitable for feeding during lactation.

Its inclusion of Yea-Sacc® yeast culture supports normal fibre digestion and digestive efficiency.

The formula also contains organic selenium and trace minerals, which contribute to the mare's overall nutritional status.

Supports Healthy Growth in Weanlings & Yearlings

Growing horses require balanced nutrition to support normal bone, muscle and tissue development.

Robank Mare Nuts provides:

Protein – 17%

Supports normal growth, muscle development and tissue maintenance.

Lysine – 1%

An essential amino acid important for protein synthesis and growth.

Calcium – 1.5%

An essential mineral involved in bone and skeletal development.

Phosphorus – 0.9%

Works with calcium in maintaining normal bone structure and metabolism.

Copper, Zinc & Manganese

Important trace minerals involved in normal growth, connective tissue development and enzyme function.

Balanced feeding is particularly important for young horses because excessive energy intake or nutritional imbalances may contribute to developmental problems.

Advanced Organic Mineral Technology

Robank Mare Nut contains Bioplex® chelated trace minerals, formulated to support mineral bioavailability.

Organic trace minerals are included to provide nutritional support during breeding, pregnancy and growth.

These minerals contribute to normal physiological processes, including:

• Skeletal development
• Tissue maintenance
• Normal reproductive function
• Enzyme activity
• Immune system function
• General growth and development

Sel-Plex® Organic Selenium

Selenium is an essential trace mineral involved in antioxidant defence and normal immune function.

Robank Mare Nut contains Sel-Plex® organic selenium.

The manufacturer highlights its role in supporting selenium nutritional status in breeding mares, including colostrum and milk selenium content.

Selenium must be supplied in appropriate quantities because excessive intake can be harmful to horses.

Yea-Sacc® Digestive Support

Yea-Sacc® is a yeast-based feed ingredient included to support normal hindgut microbial activity and fibre digestion.

A healthy hindgut environment helps horses utilise dietary fibre.

Robank includes Yea-Sacc® to support digestive efficiency in breeding mares and growing horses.

Bio-Mos® Prebiotic Support

Bio-Mos® is a yeast-derived prebiotic ingredient.

It is included to support a healthy intestinal environment and normal immune function.

Together, Bio-Mos® and Yea-Sacc® provide digestive nutritional support as part of the complete Mare Nut formulation.

Extruded Nuts for Convenient Feeding

This format offers several practical advantages:

• Convenient to measure and feed
• Helps reduce selective feeding
• Keeps the formulated ingredients together
• Suitable for feeding from a tub

Scoop Measurements

One Robank feed scoop holds approximately 700g of Mare Nut.

For accurate feeding, weigh the feed rather than relying solely on scoop measurements.

Important Feeding Instructions

Robank Mare Nut is formulated as a complete and balanced breeding concentrate.

The manufacturer recommends feeding it without adding other grains.

It should be fed alongside suitable hay or pasture to provide adequate roughage.

When changing from another feed, introduce Mare Nut gradually over approximately 7–14 days.

Divide larger daily feeding quantities into multiple meals rather than providing one large concentrate meal.

Always provide unrestricted access to clean, fresh drinking water.
