A successful start for a foal is highly dependent on sufficient intake of high-quality colostrum. In this blog, we discuss the production and quality of colostrum, as well as the assessment of immunoglobulin levels in the foal’s blood using the VMRD reader. Additionally, we cover relevant products that can be used in cases where the foal has not absorbed enough colostrum.
Bonpard introduces a new product: Colostrum powder for foals and horses.
Bonpard Colostrum is a pure, freeze-dried bovine colostrum powder (95%) combined with a prebiotic. This product is specifically designed to support a healthy start in life for newborn foals. It provides an effective supplement to the mare’s colostrum, which is essential for the development of the foal’s immune system. Additionally, Bonpard Colostrum can be used for horses of any age with temporarily or persistently reduced immunity due to illness, weather changes, or those undergoing intensive training.

The start of the new year marks a special time: the beginning of the foaling season. For many mares, this is a period of pregnancy and parturition, requiring intensive care and guidance from you as an equine veterinarian. To support you during this critical phase, we are pleased to provide information over the coming months to help ensure the reproductive cycle proceeds as smoothly as possible.
This blogpost offers an introductory overview of potential medical challenges in pregnant mares and newborn foals. We briefly discuss possible solutions and tools we can provide, starting with the early phase when fertility issues may arise. We then address the pregnancy period, the birth process, and the first days of the foal’s life.
In the coming weeks, a series of blogs will delve deeper into medical challenges and corresponding

This is until there is evidence of a health concern. But what is consumed through the daily diet really begins by influencing at the level of the cell and has a profound effect on each and every living animal. What the horse consumes has the ability to benefit so many areas of health, including immunity, athletic performance, reproduction, metabolism, longevity and more.
