It is important that foals receive colostrum within 4 hours of birth.
If colostrum is not available from the mare, Jumpstart™ Full Cream Colostrum should be fed.
Ensure clean fresh water is available from day 1, and from first week high protein, high energy pellets should be offered.
Feeding recommendations
- Anlamb™ milk replacer (LMR) should be mixed at 100 grams per litre of water, and the feeding guide below should be followed.
- DO NOT increase the concentration (100g/L), however volumes may vary depending on the size and strength of the foal.
- Clean fresh water should be available at all times.
