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 ca it Foal-Lac .
From a standpoint of composition , 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 essential vitamins and minerals .
If there ’ s no apparent difference in quality between what mother makes and what Borden ’ s makes , there is an enormous difference 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 experimental farms proved that Foal-Lac powder reconstituted with water is not only the near-perfect substitute fororphan and rejected foals but the safeguard supplement for foals who suckle . What ’ s more , 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 able to supply .
