Normal pregnancy length can vary widely in the mare. Thus many nights can be spent waiting up for the mare to foal. Physical signs of the mare's approaching readiness for foaling include an appropriate gestation length of greater than 320 days, udder enlargement with the presence of colostrum (milk) in the teats, waxing on the teat ends and relaxation of the vulva. While helpful, none of these signs are extremely accurate as a means of predicting when the mare will foal. Recent studies of pre-foaling milk (mammary secretion) electrolyte changes have demonstrated an increased ability to predict foaling time. These electrolyte changes (especially with regard to calcium level) have also been shown to be related to the development of maturity of the foal in the uterus and its subsequent survivability (viability) following a normal delivery.

This kit has been developed from years of extensive research and testing. The intent is to assist you in determining when the mare is likely to foal based upon changes in the pre-foaling milk calcium level. It is a tool that can allow you to attend your mare's foaling without an excessive number of sleepless nights.

The advantages of this kit include its accuracy and repeatability compared with other test kits on the market, its ease of use, its quantitative determination of the calcium carbonate level in each sample tested and its economy.

Eliminates Nightly Foal Sitting
Because FoalWatch is based on proven chemistry, you can rest easier at night. The test measures the concentration of calcium in the mare's colostrum, which rises sharply before birth. Simply begin testing once or twice a day about 2 weeks before the mare's due date. When the calcium concentration consistently exceeds 200 parts per million (ppm), the birth is imminent.

Safe and Easy to Use
FoalWatch contains no hazardous or toxic chemicals, is non-invasive, and requires no medical training to run. When the test is completed, the ampoule can be discarded with household waste.

Veterinarian Recommended
Veterinarians at leading equine medical centres have evaluated FoalWatch as a foaling aid and call it "convenient, reliable and safe for mare, foal, producer and veterinarian alike"*

Developed to provide a safe method to creep feed foals in the field or barn, in the presence of their mothers, with adjustable openings to suit foal age/size.

It provides the opportunity to:

• Feed nuts or pellets to foals to make them grow evenly, faster and healthier
• Feed nuts or pellets according to soil type, grass sward or general farm deficiencies
• Feed smaller foals more than larger foals
• Feed top heavy foals less starch but more minerals & vitamins to balance development
• Correct epiphysitis
• Provide trace minersl & vitamins
• Feed different nuts or pellets to different groups of foals in the field while suckling, by adjusting the plate at the feeder port
• Easily moved to another part of the field to prevent poaching
• A waterproof feed reservoir ensures clean dry nuts or pellets at all times

Manufactured from weather resistant polyethylene, it is easily cleaned & maintained. It can be easily moved by hand around the field when empty. It can be filled with water to add weight & stability, but this is normally not required. Gravity allows the flow of feed into the ports. Feed drops inot the ports only when disturbed by a feeding foal. The flap helps prevent over-eating by any individual foal. The flap helps prevent rain, birds and vermin getting free access to feed. Four foals can be fed at once, or several foals ad-lib 24 hours a day. Foals adapt to the feeder very quickly and it is a huge labout saving device.

Please note : DRY NUTS OR PELLET FEED ONLY
