ProKalm An innovation in helping manage: • Anxiety • Stress • Challenging behaviour CHAMPIONS THE CHOICE OF Supplementing Youngstock Giving your foal the best start in life is essential to ensure correct development and steady, even growth rates. This starts by ensuring the mare is fed correctly throughout her pregnancy. Blue Chip Original is the perfect feed balancer for mares to provide the enhanced nutritional uptake required throughout the gestation and lactation period. Blue Chip Original is used and trusted by leading studs who noticed that mares cycle early and maintain condition throughout pregnancy and lactation when fed on a mugful of Original in each feed. Blue Chip Original’s probiotic yeast enables the mare to extract more nutrients from her diet and can double her ability to digest fibre, meaning she can get twice as much goodness out of the fibre in her diet. This is vital during the last few weeks of pregnancy when, due to the i ncreasing size of the foetus, the mare is unable to eat as much fibre. The specially designed small pellets in Blue Chip Original are the ideal introduction to hard feed for the foal and can be safely fed from 3 weeks of age. Foals will develop good muscle tone, dense bone and strong, pliable hooves. Used and recommended by Johanna Vardon from the National Foaling Bank who says “I have never had my mares cycling and covered so early, youngstock grow at steady, even rates with good dense bone, Blue Chip Original is invaluable.” by Blue Chip Feed Ltd Blue Chip Karma, the natural, liquid calmer is made with 100% natural ingredients and guaranteed free from prohibited substances. Weaning can be a stressful time for both mares and foals; give Karma to both for two weeks prior to weaning and continue until they have settled. Karma and Blue Chip’s instant action calming syringes; AppleCalm and CarrotCalm, are a valuable asset when breaking in youngstock to allow them to remain calm and settled when dealing with new situations. Supplement your youngster’s diet with a comprehensive joint and bone supplement such as Blue Chip Dynamic, formulated with silicon to promote strong, dense bone development and healthy, nourished joints to ensure longevity of the limbs. Dynamic contains Glucosamine HCL, which is vital for cartilage metabolism and the formation of synovial fluid; the joint’s natural lubricant. Dynamic also contains organic MSM, Omega 3 and 6 oils and powerful antioxidants, all designed to support and nourish your youngster’s bones and joints.
