A starvation diet? The best dam milkforfoals isn’t made by mares. It’s made by Bordens. We make it in both powder and pellets. And call it Foal-Lac. From a standpoint of com­ position, Foal-Lac and mare’s milk are almost identical. While both have the same proportion of protein, fat, and lactose, Foal-Lac has even more of the es­ sential vitamins and minerals. If there's no apparent difference in qual­ ity between what mother makes and what Borden’s makes, there is an enormous dif­ ference in quantity. For-even though the mare seems to be nursing normally, the foal may actually be on a starvation diet, as the mare’s output generally declines while the foal’s nutritional requirements are still on the rise. Recent tests at the Borden exper- i m e nt a I farms proved that Foal-Lac powder reconstituted with water is not only the near-perfect sub­ stitute for orphan and rejected foals but the safeguard supplement for foals who suckle. What’s mo re, the tests, included in the special Equine Edition of Borden’s Bulletin (Vol. VII, No. 3), show that Foal-Lac pellets provide older foals with the essential nutrients that their dams are no longer ableto supply.
