Foal

Foal care In McCurnin's Clinical Textbook for Veterinary Technicians, 8th Edition on “Neonatology of foals” (Bassert, 04/2013, pp. 797-809), states that foal care does not just start when the foal hits the ground after birth but instead starts after conception in the mare takes place.

Regular veterinary checks during the perinatal period will ultimately…

All together, they have 3 track records, though none still standing.…
