Agricultural Experiment Station; Agriculture -- New York (State). Tnn: Foal. 663 a ration, sweet skimmed milk, ground oats and oil meal, on the growth and development of a foal is remarkable, and in all cases when the foal is likely to enter winter in low flesh such a ration cannot be too highly recommended. Most breeders advise leaving the colt in the stable while the mare is at work; others allow the colt to follow the mare into the field. Much depends on the kind of work that is to be done. Never let a colt drink from a warm mare. If the mare is warm, allow her to cool off and perhaps draw some of the milk by hand, when she may be turned into the stall with the foal with perfect safety to both mare and Fig. 17.—-Two men doing the work of six, through adequate horse power Weaning the foal Weaning is rather a question of preparation than of the absolute removal of the foal from the dam, and the simplicity of the weaning process depends on the thoroughness of the preparation. If the foal has been accustomed to grain as suggested, if it has been permitted to take increasingly more as it grew, then the process will not be difficult, for as the ration increases in amount of grain it will decrease in the amount of milk consumed. When the time arises for complete separa- tion, there will be very little if any set back or disturbance to either.
