Indications: GROW COLT^® aids in growth and development under appropriate conditions of use. GROW COLT^® provides 27 important vitamin and mineral nutrients. Prepared specifically for colts in their first year of development.

Dosage and Administration: General: To aid in maximum growth and development, add 2 ounces (four (4) heaping tablespoons) of GROW COLT^® to grain daily for each foal. Continue feeding daily throughout the foal's first year of development. Provides 27 important vitamin and mineral nutrients.

Feeding Before Weaning: To avoid set-backs resulting from weaning and to speed early development, the foal should be given some supplementary feed while still nursing the mare. Usually the foal can start eating small amounts of feed when he is two to three weeks old. Creep feeding - in which the newborn foal can feed on grain and hay separately from the mare - is highly recommended. Several good starting rations are outlined below:

(Ingredients for 12-Pound Batch)

Feed ¾ to 1 lb. of grain daily with fresh legume hay.

Feeding After Weaning: Foals are usually weaned at four to six months of age. At weaning, separate the foal from the mare and feed him 1 to 1-½ lbs. of hay per 100 lbs. of body weight. Also feed 2 ounces of GROW COLT^® daily. The weaning period is the most critical time for feeding the growth supplement. Similarly the grain ration is quite critical. Three suggested grain rations for the weanling foal are outlined below:

(Ingredients for 40-Pound Batch)

Feed 3 lbs. of grain daily with grass or legume hay.

You can also add brown sugar to each of these rations to encourage the foal to start eating grain as early as possible. Your choice of rations will, of course, depend on the cost an availability of various grains.
