Lactofoal
Milk formula for foals
For orphan foals, in the event of inadequate lactation in mares or where postweaning nutrition is required, it is essential to have a milk formula specially formulated for foals to hand.
LACTOFOAL has been formulated by AUDEVARD Laboratories to accurately reproduce the characteristics of mare’s milk.
Milk formula for feeding and weaning orphan foals, to supplement feeding in the event of inadequate lactation in the mare, and for post-weaning.
Formula
The LACTOFOAL formula is suited to the specific needs of foals: the correct protein and fat content for horses, optimal protein quality and pro- and prebiotics. It comes in powder form that fully dissolves in water.
What users say...
LACTOFOAL users like its comprehensive formula and targeted nutrition that meets the specific needs of foals. Each tub comes with a teat that can be fitted onto a standard feeding bottle.
Our advice
As the foaling season approaches, remember to have a tub to hand. The barrel format is practical and economical for use over long periods. LACTOFOAL can be added to the daily feed for the first two months of weaning. Start with 500 g and reduce gradually.

Milk formula for feeding and weaning orphan foals, to supplement feeding in the event of inadequate lactation in the mare, and for post-weaning.
Daily allowance: Dilute 2 measures in 1 litre warm water. Shake well until the mixture is smooth. Give the milk to the foal at around 35°C. Milk prepared in advance can be stored for 24 hours in the refrigerator. The quantities are to be adjusted according to the foal's breed and state of health. Adjust the quantities and the frequency gradually as follows:
- Day 1: 8 litres of milk per day (1 litre every 3 hours),
- Day 10: 12 litres of milk per day (2 litres every 4 hours or 25% of live weight of reconstituted milk per day)
- 1 month: 15 litres of milk per day (3 litres every 5 hours).
- Switch gradually to dry feed between the 3rd and 4th month to wean the foal.
Nutritional support for post-weaning in foals: Pour 10 measures of LACTOFOAL onto the foal's feed each day and reduce quantity gradually.
