Short summary
Since changes in metabolic requirements during pregnancy might produce a nutritional imbalance predisposing the mare to pathological conditions, we examined changes in serum macromineral profile and the statistical correlations between electrolytes in mares during the last 3 months of pregnancy and the first 3 weeks after foaling. The changes found in mares' macromineral profiles over the peripartum provide enhanced knowledge about mineral interrelations and their modifications in mares.
