Last year my mare Betty lost her foal at birth.
We milked her and gave the colostrum to the vets.
Today I heard that a mare in the practice gave birth last weekend and was unable to feed the foal.Betty's colostrum was bottle fed to the foal and successful passive immunity was achieved.The foal apparently is doing well but would not have survived without the colostrum.
I am so glad we saved Betty's colostrum.
