Masterclass #8: Foal nutrition.

When should you start feeding the foal? Should the foal be fed when it is still suckling? At what age should the foal be weaned? Is there a risk in "giving too much"? Or "not enough"? Or "badly"? What should you look out for? What impact does feed have on the foal's growth and health?

Angélique Descarpentry, agricultural engineer and freelance equine nutritionist, has been answering all these legitimate questions for anyone involved in foaling and foal rearing during this FoalR Masterclass on foal nutrition.
