Feeding Guide:

• • Different horse breeds have varying birth weights and growth patterns. For instance, a light breed foal typically starts at around 50 kg and gains approximately 1.5kg per day during the hand-rearing period.
  • As monitoring exact weight can be challenging, use the foal's age to estimate feeding volumes.

• Feeding Methods: Begin with a bottle and lamb's teat; train foals to drink from a bucket if preferred. For self-feeding, serve milk cold to minimise bacteria.
• Keep Hydrated: Always provide freshwater and pre-boiled water between feedings, especially in hot weather.
• Milk Storage: Refrigerate for up to 24 hours or freeze for up to 2 weeks. Always use freshly prepared milk.
• Post-Feeding Clean-Up: Clean the foal's mouth, discard any unused milk, and clean all feeding equipment thoroughly.
• Seek Professional Advice: For specific care recommendations, consult a veterinarian or experienced breeder.
