CAVALOR COLOSTRA provides vital colostrum for newborn foals, when the mare’s milk is insufficient. Newborn foals are born without any antibodies and must absorb these through the colostrum within 24 hours of their birth. If a foal has received little or no colostrum for any reason, it is vital to compensate for this deficit. Cavalor Colostra increases the level of immunoglobulins in the blood, which helps strengthen the foal’s defences against pathogens, such as viruses and bacteria, during its first week of life. A solid start is essential to a foal’s healthy growth and development.
