None. Calving is too stressful an event to let a cow give milk during such an event. Afterwards, and only afterwards, will she be able to relax enough to allow milk-let-down to commence.

When does the colostrum come in on a horse?

There is no magic time. Some mares may start to drip in the last month or so. But usually once the mare starts to drip or 'wax up' birth will follow with in 24 to 48 hours. If you notice that she is losing too much milk you should contact your vet. She may run out of colostrum before the birth and it is vital that the foal gets colotrum.* *Interesting fact:There is a window of oppotunity for the foal to get the colostrum. If he does not get the colostrum within 18 hours or so his GI tract will not absorb it which will greatly diminish his chance of survival.


Is it normal for colostrum to change color wile pregnant it was clear when i first started getting it now it is clear with yellow spots?

Yes. Colostrum is typically a range of colors from clear to yellow to white. The golden spots you are seeing just meant the "ingredients" are different and your colostrum is likely maturing. If you are 4-6 weeks from birth, you're getting the mature colostrum that will provide your baby much needed antibodies, vitamins and nourishment.


When the wax falls off a mares teats will she deliver soon?

Could be. This is a sign that birth is near. But sometimes a mare will 'wax up' and the milk will start to leak out. A little is fine but if too much leaks out the mare could be loosing the "colostrum". Colostrum is the first milk that the mare produces and it contains all the immunities for the new baby to keep him healthy. If it leaks out before the foal can drink it, he won't live long. They have to have the colostrum. If you think your mare is leaking too much colostrum call your vet.


Should foals should have colostrum within the first 12 hours after birth?

Ideally, a foal should get colostrum as soon as possible post foaling. The current school of thought is that the gut closes much more rapidly than originally thought and that 6-8 hours for adequate passive transfer is the limit.

If they won't accept the bottle, tube them with an esophageal feeder. Colostrum comes in packets of dried powder, so read the instructions on the packet to determine how much water is needed for one packet of dried colostrum.
