Issues and Opportunities Issues with the hormone-induced milk nurse mare indus- try do exist. In some cases, people have sent the mares out too soon without the proper amount of milk in the udder or medicinal and nutritional support to continue milk production. For example, the hormonal gel should be continued for a period after milk production starts. Sport horse breeders may have retired broodmares on


their farms who could easily be given a second career as nurse mares for their own use, or to help others as part of a nurse mare business. Of course, operating a nurse mare business does require you have mares constantly produc- ing milk and be on call 24/7, ready to transport a nurse mare when needed. Breeders who decide to use a nurse mare when put


into the unfortunate situation of raising an orphan should call their chosen provider as early as possible and be sure to follow their instructions to the letter. In fact, having a list of nurse mare providers handy is probably a good idea for every breeder, just in case. This is a situation for which every breeder should have a plan of action in place.
