magnesium, zinc and copper and its intramuscular fat presents lower rates of atherogenicity and thrombogenicity than beef or sheep meat.

Types

Foal: Very tender meat with a mild flavor. It comes from foals less than 12 months old that once they have been weaned (6-9 months of age) enters the feedlot until it reaches an optimal conformation; The period can vary between 3 and 6 months.

Foal between 12-16 months: Very tender meat with little fat. It comes from foals that once weaned have already been several months pasturing in the meadows. They enter the feedlot with a greater development (12-16 months of age), and it is there where, thanks to the compensatory growth, they reach optimal conformations to be slaughtered in less time. This period varies between 2 and 3 months.
