A healthy newborn foal should be trying to get up and walk to the mare to nurse in less than an hour. The mare should be nuzzling the foal and licking it, encouraging it to stand to nurse and learn to walk.

How is the immune status of a newborn different from the immune status of a child?

Yes. A newborn has not developed his own antibodies yet. He carries his mothers. He starts produces his own antibodies as soon as he meets pathogens. However, they are usually killed by his mother's antibodies. He will continue to receive antibodies from his mother's breast milk as long as he nurses. However, he will also start producing his own. Children are fighting all diseases on their own or with the help of vaccines.

Well if the hermaphrodite's had a calf then it's highly likely that the hermaphrodite isn't a hermaphrodite, but a normal cow or first-calf heifer.

Who told you that a calf doesn't need it's mother? Every calf needs a cow to properly take care of it, no matter if it's their own or a surrogate cow-mom. Ideally you should have a cow already there to adopt that calf. But, if that's not obtainable, you need shelter, milk replacer, feed, water, and a good understanding of how to raise a bum/orphan calf so that it doesn't get sick and die on you.
