1. Be drinking out of a milk bucket on it's own.

2. Be halter broke.

3. Leading to some degree.

4. Be eating milk based pellets.

5. Complete our basic imprint training like picking up feet, getting a bath if needed, tie training,  etc.

 Feeding Directions

Colostrum, or first milk, contains high levels of antibodies that  needs to be consumed within the first 12-24 hours.  After colostrum has  been ingested, it is safe to introduce the foal to MARE'S MILK PLUS™. 

• MARE'S MILK PLUS should be mixed with cool tap water and stirred with a wire whisk.
• MARE'S MILK PLUS should be fed at room temperature and does not require warming prior to ingestion. 
• Start by feeding your foal half of the recommended volume from the  table and gradually increase the amount over the next 10 days until the  recommended amount is reached.  Always discard any milk not consumed  prior to adding fresh.
• MARE'S MILK PLUS should be mixed every 12 hours; however, a 24-hour  supply can be mixed if necessary.  One half can be fed and the other  half covered and stored in a cool place until the next feeding (does not  require refrigeration). 
• Always keep equipment clean to avoid the risk of infection.
• Provide clean, fresh water at all times.
• Occasional diarrhea may occur in foals fed milk replacer.  When this  happens, reduce the amount of MARE'S MILK PLUS by 25% and then  gradually increase until the foal is consuming the recommended amount.   If diarrhea persists, contact your veterinarian.
