 |  "Newborn horses receive nutrients and immune support from colostrum the mares first-produced milk", notes Allday. Mare's milk is super-saturated with all the nutrients, proteins, antibodies and growth factors the baby needs, and goes directly to the foal's blood through his mucosal membranes in the first twelve hours of life. This equine colostrum protects the foal for the first 120 days of his life, providing an effective shield against disease and stimulating growth. Long after birth, horses can still benefit from the antibodies, natural growth factors and nutrients in colostrum.
