Description
A foal only grows once. To reach its genetic potential it needs a nutritionally balanced diet with adequate energy, protein, vitamins and minerals — and there are two windows where that matters most: two to four months, when the mare's milk may no longer meet the growing foal's requirements, and four to six months, around weaning. Farnam Grow Colt Growth and Development Supplement is formulated for exactly those windows. It carries a balanced calcium to phosphorus ratio for proper bone development plus 27 other nutrients supporting steady growth, immune health and connective tissue development. It now comes as easy-to-feed pellets and works well added to creep feed for sucklings.

How to Use

- Begin around two to four months, when the mare's milk alone may no longer meet the foal's requirements.
- Continue through weaning at four to six months and into the first years of growth.
- For sucklings, add it to creep feed so the foal takes it without competition from the mare.
- Keep the container cool, dry and resealed between feedings.
