Care Of Horses

The colt drinks as much as 1/10 of its weight in the first 24 hours after birth. Oral milk: after birth, flowing from the breast, very rich in immune substances and very important for the life of the baby milk (this milk is secreted for 3 days from birth. The immune substances in it are gradually reduced. The most important issues in the first period of care of the foal (if there is an obligation to give milk from another source) are that the milk is at body temperature and that the foal is not left alone.Foals reach 75% of their adult age weight at 12 months of age and 90% of their adult back (cidago) height.For this reason, they should eat well. After the 4th week, Mother's milk begins to be insufficient. At this stage, foal augmentation baits should be given. Oats do not clump in the stomach as they are scorched when given alone. Oats alone are not recommended for Foals during the milk period. Protein and mineral content is missing. If given more than 2 months of alfalfa can make kidney stones. In addition, alfalfa makes allergies in 2-3% of horses.
