When no colostrum is available from the mare it is highly recommended that a veterinary surgeon should administer around 40ml of whole blood drawn from the mare to the foal in conjunction with orally administered colostrum replacer. Administer as soon as possible after birth. Guaranteed antibody protection for foals. Whole Colostrum provides natural antibodies and protection. Antibodies provide the means to combat the common disease challenge.
Energy provides the means to create and maintain body heat.
Poor mothering or a difficult mare no longer need be a major problem. Whole Colostrum should be used early in the foaling season, when natural colostrum availability is very limited or nil. Whole Colostrum is easy to administer by bottle or stomach tube. A source of immediate energy and nutrients. The nutrients, requiring no digestion, begin to be immediately absorbed from the stomach and oral membranes.
