Foaling Services

Eifel Gold Ranch Baeck operates a foaling program with attention given to all details. 24 hour observation is provided (staff, Birth Alarm System, Foal Alert System and cameras). We prepare the mare for foaling and ascertain correct fetal position as soon as her water breaks. Any abnormalities receive the immediate attention of the onsite veterinarian. New foals receive umbilical care, enemas, and imprinting. The mare's colostrum is checked for level of antibodies. Additional banked colostrum is given to the foal if the mare's level is low. The foal is observed for adequate nursing and good health. The foals are halter broke and led within a few days of birth. They receive complete care including vaccinations, hoof care and grooming.
