Immune Support

Immunoglobulin colostrum content plays an important role in foal vitality and the horse’s future ability to cope with pathogens. Colostrum quality can vary, and the immunoglobulin content can be too low to ensure adequate protection to the foal. The mare can be prepared starting one month before foaling to one month after to ensure optimal colostrum quality.

Stress due to separation from the mare and diet transition can leave the horse exposed to pathogens.

Horses will face important stressors due to increased exercise, contact with new humans, moving stables and more.

Horses will be co-mingled with other horses from different stables, which increases the risk of getting new pathogens.

As with all animals, immune systems will be less efficient as horses age.
