Foal Immunoglobulin G (e IgG) Rapid Quantitative Test
Foals possess the ability to produce infection-fighting antibodies, called immunoglobulins or Igs, from the moment they’re born. What they don’t possess is pre-existing Igs in their bloodstream at the time of birth to protect them from the onslaught of bacteria and other infection-inducing microorganisms in their new environment.
Foals therefore require a healthy meal of colostrum—the mare’s first milk laden with Igs to temporarily provide immunity until the foal’s own immune system swings into full gear.

Each Laboratory should establish a reference range that is representative of the population to be evaluated. The diagnosis must be made in conjunction with other clinical symptoms and tests.
