Assessment tool
Version 1.0
Issue Date: April 2024
This unit applies to overseeing foaling while referring any high risk issues or problems for veterinary advice.
This unit covers the process of monitoring mares and their newborn at foaling and providing the support required, and defines the work practices required to: recognise signs of imminent foaling in mares; monitor foaling and provide assistance if required or refer on if birthing difficulties require veterinary assistance; recognise abnormalities in freshly foaled down mares and in newborn foals; ensure both mare and foal have recovered from foaling and the foal stands and nurses.
