Product Description

Foal IgG (Immunoglobulin G) is a specific type of antibody that exists in the blood of newborn foals, passed on by colostrum, the first milk produced by a mare after giving birth. Colostrum contains a concentrated amount of specific antibodies called Foal IgG, which foals can absorb only during the first 12-24 hours after birth. These antibodies play a crucial role in providing passive immunity to foals during their early stages of life, protecting against various diseases until the foal's own immune system fully matures. When a foal doesn't receive a sufficient quantity of colostrum with good quality, it's termed as a "failure of passive transfer."
