Our unparalleled feed programme combines choice ingredients for optimal growth with specific emphasis on nutrients to intensify immune function, develop sound bone and enhance overall health.

Weekly delivery of bulk ingredients keeps things fresh. These ingredients are processed daily through an electronic feed mill that proportions and mixes individual recipes for the specific diet required for each life stage of the herd.

We buy the very best forage from an award-winning hay producer. Both our forage and concentrate are regularly analyzed for nutrient content and ensured to be mycotoxin-free.
Young stock must grow on rapidly and in a balanced way. To that end, Curraghmore’s onsite electronic weigh scale is invaluable. We continuously monitor foals as they develop to ensure steady growth. Our goal is the elimination of the incidence of Developmental Orthopedic Disease. Routine dental care and the detection and control of parasites are integral to herd nutrition. With our five-star menu we produce amazingly high IgG levels in our newborn foals.

Right from the “starting gate” Curraghmore horses have the advantage. Our unparalleled nutrition programme contributes to our outstanding success of producing three times the national average of stakes winners.
