Support Normal Fertility and Reproductive Health

Estimated 0 min read

4th Nov 2024

In the world of equine breeding, the stakes are high. The health and fertility of mares and stallions are critical not only for breeding success but also for the overall vitality and longevity of these animals. Breeding season presents unique challenges, including fertility issues, stress from demanding reproductive cycles, and susceptibility to reproductive-related health problems. Ensuring that both mares and stallions are in peak reproductive health is essential for a successful and sustainable breeding program.

With these concerns in mind, Releira offers a scientifically formulated solution designed to address common reproductive health issues while supporting normal fertility rates and overall well-being during the breeding season.

The Challenges of Equine Reproduction

Mares and stallions face various reproductive health challenges. For mares, issues like irregular estrous cycles, anovulation, uterine infections, and hormonal imbalances can significantly hinder fertility. Stallions, on the other hand, may encounter difficulties like low sperm quality, reduced libido, or general reproductive inefficiencies. These factors not only affect fertility rates but also place strain on the animals’ overall well-being during a demanding period of their life.

Seasonal changes, environmental stress, and the physical demands of breeding can further exacerbate these issues, making it difficult for horses to reach their breeding potential. As such, equine owners and veterinarians constantly seek new ways to optimize reproductive health and increase fertility success rates.

Releira: A Comprehensive, Research-Backed Solution

Releira provides targeted reproductive support for both mares and stallions, offering key benefits backed by rigorous research. Its formula is centered around pure algal DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), a potent Omega-3 fatty acid that supports fertility, hormone balance, and overall reproductive health. The effectiveness of Releira lies not only in its formulation but in its ability to provide measurable improvements in conception rates, fertility support, and reproductive longevity.

The Unique Power of Algal DHA

Releira’s success is rooted in its use of a purified, concentrated source of Omega-3 algal DHA, a superior form of DHA for equine health. Unlike other Omega-3 supplements derived from flaxseed or fish oils, Releira’s algal DHA offers several distinct advantages:

  • More Effective Than ALA: Many Omega-3 supplements derived from flaxseed contain ALA (alpha-linolenic acid), which doesn’t provide the same reproductive benefits as DHA.
  • Safer Than Fish Oil: Fish oil supplements not only contain less DHA but can expose horses to heavy metal toxicity. Horses, being herbivores, also metabolize plant-based DHA more efficiently than fish-based sources.
  • Optimal Absorption: The DHA in Releira is derived from purified algae, making it easier for horses to absorb and utilize for maximum reproductive support.

Success in Fewer Cycles

One of Releira's standout benefits is its ability to significantly help with conception rates in broodmares who have a history of reproductive complications. [KC1] [2] [BK3] This is especially critical for mares that face difficulties conceiving or maintaining pregnancies, allowing breeders to achieve successful pregnancies more efficiently.

Reduced Costs for Breeders

Unsuccessful breeding cycles can be costly. Mares that fail to become pregnant still require care, feeding, and management, all while missing the opportunity to produce a foal that could be sold or compete. By helping mares conceive in fewer cycles, Releira reduces the financial burden of maintaining unbred mares and optimizes the chances of a successful foaling season.

Improved Conception Rates and Pregnancy Success

In addition to helping to reduce breeding cycles per mare, [KC4] [BK5] By addressing these issues, the product supports healthy pregnancy rates and helps broodmares maintain pregnancies with less risk of complications. Moreover, Releira provides continuous reproductive support throughout the entire gestation period, ensuring that mares receive the nutritional and hormonal balance they need for a successful pregnancy.

Key Benefits for Stallions

Releira also provides powerful fertility support for stallions, particularly those with a history of reproductive challenges.

  • Supports Fertility: Stallions with common fertility issues often see improved pregnancy rates after supplementing with Releira.
  • Helps Maintain High Sperm Count: During breeding season, even stallions with normal sperm counts can experience mid-season declines. [KC6] [BK7]
  • Optimized Sperm Quality and Motility: Pure DHA works not only to maintain optimal sperm production but also to support the quality and motility of sperm, ensuring more successful artificial insemination (AI) and live cover breedings.

Key Benefits for Foals

By improving conception rates and supporting pregnancies, Releira also plays a role in the success of foals.

  • More Live Foals: DHA supports cellular development, helping to create stronger cell membranes, which leads to more foals being carried to term.
  • Fewer Late-Season Foals: When mares are successfully bred in fewer cycles, foals are born on time rather than late in the season. This timing advantage helps foals grow alongside their peers, making them more competitive in yearling sales and events.
  • Improved Cognitive Health: Studies show that foals from mares supplemented with Releira exhibit improved cognitive function and trainability[2]. The quality DHA in Releira transfers to the foal during gestation and nursing, enhancing their developmental outcomes.

Proven Research, Proven Results

What sets Releira apart is its research-backed formula. Unlike many competitors that claim research support without testing their products as used, Releira has undergone rigorous studies using the exact doses recommended for its customers. This ensures that Releira delivers the results it promises, making it a trusted choice for veterinarians, breeders, and equine professionals alike.

Conclusion

In equine breeding, ensuring the fertility and reproductive health of mares, stallions, and foals is paramount to success. Releira provides a comprehensive, research-proven solution that supports optimal fertility, reduce risk of complications, and helps improve breeding outcomes. With benefits ranging from higher conception rates in difficult broodmares to increased sperm quality in stallions, Releira is the go-to supplement for optimizing breeding potential and supporting reproductive health throughout the entire breeding season.
