How the Heck Do I Feed This Horse Series: Orphan Foals

In this episode, we discuss the critical aspects of caring for orphan foals. The focus is on the immediate nutritional needs following the loss of their mother, emphasizing the importance of colostrum in the first 12 to 24 hours of life, options for milk replacers, and strategies for managing feeding and socialization as they grow. The experts also touch on the hypothetical scenario of transitioning a mare that has lost its foal and address potential health issues, such as gastric ulcers in foals. They offer resources and support for breeders facing such challenges and encourage reaching out for personalized advice through various means provided by Tribute Equine Nutrition.
