Lactofoal - Milk replacer for foals - 14 kg - AUDEVARD

Lactofoal AUDEVARD: a milk replacer to support the growth of the foal

A milk feed adapted to the foal's nutritional needs

The first weeks of a foal's life are critical for its growth.

Mare's milk normally represents the main source of essential nutrients:

• high-quality proteins
• energy-providing lipids
• essential minerals
• essential vitamins
• factors supporting digestive immunity

When the mare's lactation is insufficient or absent, the use of a specific milk replacer becomes necessary.

Lactofoal was developed by Audevard to meet the foal's nutritional needs from its very first days of life.

A solution adapted to sensitive breeding situations

Lactofoal can be used:

• for orphan foals
• in cases of insufficient lactation
• during poor-quality lactation
• as a supplement to natural nursing
• in professional horse breeding

It helps secure nutritional intake during the neonatal phase.

A formula close to mare's milk to support harmonious growth

Mare's milk has a specific composition adapted to the foal's digestive physiology.

An equine milk replacer must reproduce this nutritional balance.

Lactofoal provides:

• energy adapted to rapid growth
• digestible proteins
• essential minerals
• vitamins essential to development

This formulation helps support the foal's growth under optimal nutritional conditions.

Nutrition adapted to the young foal's digestive development

The foal's digestive system is particularly sensitive during the first weeks.

Suitable feeding helps to:

• support digestive maturation
• encourage feed intake
• support bone growth
• maintain the foal's general condition

A solution adapted to the first days of life as well as to supplementation periods

Depending on the breeding situation, Lactofoal can be used:

• as exclusive feeding
• as a supplement to the mare
• during a gradual transition
• during a transitional period

It integrates easily into the foal's nutritional management.

An essential nutritional solution in the case of an orphan foal

The absence of mare's milk represents a major risk to the foal's survival.

In this context, a specific milk replacer is an essential solution.

Lactofoal helps to:

• ensure daily energy intake
• support body growth
• maintain nutritional balance
• support the young horse's development

A valuable aid to secure the first weeks of life

The neonatal phase is a particularly sensitive period.

Suitable feeding helps to:

• limit growth delays
• support muscle development
• support digestive maturation
• promote overall vitality

Lactofoal provides a reliable nutritional response in these situations.

A solution adapted to professional and private horse breeding operations

The 14 kg format allows suitable use:

• in horse breeding
• in breeding centres
• for private breeders
• for monitoring fragile foals
• for extended supplementation

It facilitates daily nutritional management.

An economical packaging for breeding needs

This large format is particularly suited to:

• foals requiring complete feeding
• regular supplementation
• multi-foal breeding operations
• situations requiring extended monitoring

It optimises feeding continuity.

Supplementation adapted to gradual nursing transition

When a mare produces an insufficient quantity of milk, a partial transition may be necessary.

Lactofoal allows:

• supplementing the milk ration
• avoiding a nutritional gap
• supporting the feeding transition
• securing the foal's growth

A solution adapted to delicate nutritional transitions

Some situations require a gradual adaptation:

• tired mare
• insufficient milk production
• adoption by another mare
• temporary supplementation

Lactofoal facilitates this management.

Frequently asked questions about milk replacer for foals

What milk should be given to a foal?

A foal should receive a milk replacer specifically formulated for the equine species. Cow's milk or other unsuitable substitutes do not properly cover its nutritional needs. A milk replacer such as Lactofoal reproduces the composition of mare's milk and helps support harmonious growth from the very first days of life.

How to feed an orphan foal?

An orphan foal must be fed a suitable equine milk replacer given in several closely spaced daily feeds to reproduce the natural nursing rhythm. This feeding helps maintain energy intake, support digestive development and support muscle and bone growth during the first weeks of life.

What is the suitable milk powder for foals?

Milk powder intended for foals must be specifically formulated to reproduce the composition of mare's milk. Products such as Lactofoal are designed to meet the young horse's nutritional needs, particularly in proteins, energy, vitamins and minerals necessary for proper neonatal development.
