Feeding Directions (Early Weaned/Nursing Foals):

Early weaned foals can be placed on the orphan foal feeding schedule. The age of the foal will determine the place to start in the feeding schedule. Nursing foals receiving an inadequate amount of milk from the mare can be placed on the orphan foal schedule. Start with half the amount of Foal-Lac recommended for orphans, then adjust up or down according to the foal’s needs.

Feeding Directions (Orphaned Foals): Directions for use most be carefully followed.

1. The foal should receive colostrum during the first 24 hours after foaling. A physical examination of the foal by your veterinarian is recommended at this time.

2. Administer Bene-Bac® Plus Equine Gel between 12 and 24 hours of age and on days 4 and 7.

3. The following schedule for feeding Foal-Lac milk replacer is a guideline for foals that will mature to about 1100 lbs. bodyweight. Since each foal is an individual, more or less milk replacer can be fed, depending on its needs. Pony and miniature horse foals should be fed about half of these quantities. Draft breed foals will require up to twice these quantities.

5. Reconstituted Foal-Lac Powder can be fed in a bottle. Any milk left by the foal after 3 hours should be discarded. Always wash the feeding utensils with hot, soapy water and rinse well after each feeding.

6. Good quality tender hay, salt, and water should be provided free choice starting at 10 days of age.

7. The foal should receive exercise daily to stimulate appetite and to develop bone and muscle.

8. Consult your veterinarian for parasite control, necessary immunizations and signs of illness.
