Foal Milk Powder - 10kg
Vetpro Foalmilk is made from premium quality (human consumable standard) New Zealand milk powder. It is also combined with the correct balance of fats, lactose and sugar, with the vitamins and minerals at an optimum level for the healthy development of the foal. This produces the closest formulation to mare’s milk than either cow or goat milk.
Mare’s milk is unique – foals do not thrive on cow’s milk. To use cow or goat milk as a replacement can cause difficulties for the orphan foal, reducing their chances of healthy development. Vetpro Foalmilk does not contain colostrum – this must be given to the foal within four hours of birth and prior to any other nutrients, even milk or water.
