Advice

Foal diarrhoea is one of the most common health concerns faced by breeders during early spring foaling season. While many cases are mild and self-limiting, diarrhoea in young foals can quickly lead to dehydration, weakness and poor growth if not carefully managed. Understanding the causes, and knowing when to intervene, is essential for protecting foal health and development.

Effective early-season management of barren mares enhances fertility and reproductive success, leading to earlier, healthier foals, lower costs, and increased breeding opportunities.
