What is stud mix and why is it different

Stud mix is a fully balanced feed, specifically developed to meet the needs of pregnant and lactating mares, foals, youngstock and/or stallions….depending on the product you pick! It is specially formulated to keep breeding stock in peak condition and fertility and promote growth and development without providing excess calories. It’s always worth reading the bag or speaking to a nutritionist at the relevant company if you have any questions, but some stud mixes can be given from the age of three months. It can also help with milk production in lactating mares and maintains the muscle function and promotes recovery in working stallions.


Stud mix may contain a combination of the following:

  • Oats – a nutrient dense cereal to support growth and development.
  • Protein - for muscle and tissue development. Protein supports the demands of pregnancy and growth in mares and foals.
  • Vitamins, minerals and magnesium - a combination provided especially to promote growth.
  • Vitamin E – this vitamin supports the transfer of passive immunity.
  • Amino acids – supports growth and particularly promotes bone growth in foals.
  • Oils – to help maintain coat condition.
  • It may be alfafa based – which provides a nutritious combination of calcium, amino acids and fibre.
  • Probiotics may be included which help to maintain a healthy digestive and immune function.
