How to feed foals
24 May, 2001
Baileys Horse Feeds has produced a new booklet aimed at anyone breeding foals and raising youngstock.
Feeding Foals and Weanlings is a 20-page booklet containing practical information based on the latest American research and focusing on the specific requirements of foals and growing youngstock, potential developmental problems and how products from Baileys can help.
Among the advice is information on the value of forage, the importance of minerals and how to monitor the growth rate of foals, as well as a section devoted to the extensive range of services offered in addition to a wide range of products.
According to Bailey's, nutrition plays a vital role in the success ofany breeding programme.
The feed company says it has extensive experience working with both stud managers and vets in a range of situations from developing complete feeding programmes to nutritional solutions for individual horses.
