A Pelleted
Milk Based Supplement
for
Foals & Mature Horses
Foals attain 80% of their adult growth in the first 12 months. Foals require high levels of energy and protein to support this rapid growth. As early as one month after foaling, the mare may not be able to produce enough milk to satisfy the foal's needs. The foal can suffer nutritional deficiencies that can have long lasting effect on its physical development and growth.
The high levels of milk protein, milk sugar and fat in Foal Milk-Bits will help close that nutrition gap and ensure your foals of continued proper growth and development.
With Foal Milk-Bits your foals receives all the nutrients necessary for maximum, uninterrupted growth, solid bone and muscle development and maximum ration digestibility ... an important benefit during its most critical stage of growth.

Suggested Feeding Schedule
It is important to start foals on feed carefully and at an early age.
Foals can begin nibbling on Foal Milk-Bits as early as 10 days of age, while they are still nursing. Starting with 113 g (æ cup) of Foal Milk Bits, mix or top dress with dry feed, gradually increasing until the foal is consuming 450 g (3 cups) per day.
Removing surplus feed daily keeps the feed clean and fresh. Continue as part of the creep feed until the foal is weaned at five to six months of age.
Fresh water should be provided at all times.
These feeding levels are to be used as guidelines only. It is necessary that the suggested feeding levels be adjusted to meet individual animal requirements.
1 standard measuring cup equals about 150 g of pellets.
To maintain freshness, keep unused portion of Foal Milk-Bits in a closed bag or sealed container.
Foal Milk-Bits pellets supply more for the Dollar spent on a horse supplement. Most horse supplements are not milk-based, most are grain-based or use some form of cheaper carrier for the vitamins and minerals. There are many more economical sources for grains than buying them in a Horse Supplement!
