Abstract

The present invention encompasses methods of improving reproductive and respiratory health.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method for improving the per cycle pregnancy rate for maiden or barren equine mares, the method comprising administering a composition comprising flaxseed meal, algal DHA, vitamin E, and vitamin D3 at a daily dose of between 4-12 g per 110 lbs of body weight at least 10 days before coitus, and continuing to dose daily till at least 2 days post-coitus. 
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the composition is administered at least 15 days before coitus and optionally for at least 5 days post-coitus. 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the composition is administered for at least 60 days before coitus and for at least 90 days post-coitus. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the composition further comprises ingredients selected from the group consisting of vitamins, antioxidants, roughage, feed grade fat, sweeteners, preservatives, and flavorings. 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 4 , wherein the composition further comprises sorbitol, ascorbic acid, alfalfa meal, sodium saccharin, propionic acid and artificial flavor. 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the composition comprises total omega-3 fatty acids of 7,200 mg per 60 g dose. 
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 6 , wherein the composition further comprises 2,000 mg of DHA per 60 g dose. 
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 7 , wherein the composition further comprises 6000 IU of Vitamin D3, and 1000 IU of Vitamin E per 60 grams of total composition. 
     
     
         9 . A method for improving reproductive function in postpartum mares, the method comprising administering to a pregnant mare a composition comprising flaxseed meal, algal DHA, vitamin E, and vitamin D3 at a daily dose of between 4-12 g per 110 lbs of body weight at least 30 days before expected foaling, and continuing to dose daily through at least one postpartum ovulation. 
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 9 , wherein reproductive function is increased by hastening uterine involution and increasing ovarian blood flow. 
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 9 , wherein the composition is administered at least 90 days before expected foaling. 
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 9 , wherein the composition is administered through at least two postpartum ovulations. 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 9 , wherein the composition further comprises ingredients selected from the group consisting of vitamins, antioxidants, roughage, feed grade fat, sweeteners, preservatives, and flavorings. 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 13 , wherein the composition further comprises sorbitol, ascorbic acid, alfalfa meal, sodium saccharin, propionic acid and artificial flavor. 
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 9 , wherein the composition comprises total omega-3 fatty acids of 7,200 mg per 60 g dose. 
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 15 , wherein the composition further comprises 2,000 mg of DHA per 60 g dose. 
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 16 , wherein the composition further comprises 6000 IU of Vitamin D3, and 1000 IU of Vitamin E per 60 grams of total composition. 
     
     
         18 . A method for reducing the post-breeding inflammatory response, the method comprising administering to a mare a composition comprising flaxseed meal, algal DHA, vitamin E, and vitamin D3 at a daily dose of between 4-12 g per 110 lbs of body weight at least 10 days before coitus, and continuing to dose daily till at least 2 days post-coitus. 
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 18 , wherein the composition is administered at least 15 days before coitus and optionally for at least 5 days post-coitus. 
     
     
         20 . The method of  claim 18 , wherein the composition is administered for at least 60 days before coitus and for at least 90 days post-coitus. 
     
     
         21 . The method of  claim 18 , wherein the composition further comprises ingredients selected from the group consisting of vitamins, antioxidants, roughage, feed grade fat, sweeteners, preservatives, and flavorings. 
     
     
         22 . The method of  claim 21 , wherein the composition further comprises sorbitol, ascorbic acid, alfalfa meal, sodium saccharin, propionic acid and artificial flavor. 
     
     
         23 . The method of  claim 22 , wherein the composition comprises total omega-3 fatty acids of 7,200 mg per 60 g dose. 
     
     
         24 . The method of  claim 23 , wherein the composition further comprises 2,000 mg of DHA per 60 g dose. 
     
     
         25 . The method of  claim 24 , wherein composition further comprises 6000 IU of Vitamin D3, and 1000 IU of Vitamin E per 60 grams of total composition.
