Optimising Horse Health and Performance for a Lifetime

Did you know that a horse's environment and diet can impact its genes - without changing its DNA? That's the power of epigenomics! While genetics determines what's in a foal's DNA, epigenomics influences how those genes are expressed. This means that everything from a mare's diet to her environment during pregnancy can shape the health, growth, and performance potential of her foal.  

How Does It Work?  

Epigenomics refers to how genes are turned "on" or "off." Nutrients like choline are known as methyl donors, play a vital role in this process. By ensuring a mare gets the right nutrients, breeders can help promote better gene regulation and set the stage for stronger, healthier foals.  

Why It Matters

• Improved Performance: Boosting the chances of superior athletic ability.

 • Healthy Growth: Encouraging the foal's optimal development from day one

• Lifelong Benefits: Laying the foundation for robust health and resilience  

Make the Most of Epigenomics  

By focusing on the latest research in epigenomics and nutrition, you can help ensure your horses reach their full potential - not just for one generation, but for future ones as well. Let's give your foals the best start in life!
