Feeding Directions

Nursing Foals: Feed ¼ to 1 kg of Frisky Foal per 100 kg body weight, according to the mare’s milk production and the foal’s development.

Weanlings: Feed 1 to 1½ kg of Frisky Foal per 100 kg body weight along with good quality grassy mixed forage. Feed according to development and the quality of hay or grass.

Genetic differences, management and owners goals for growth will alter the amount that should be fed. Closely monitor the foals development and adjust accordingly.
