Generally, mares will foa 2-4 days after you observe waxing of the mammary glands.
=no you can not take a mare away from its foal straight after its birth=
The maximum time it should take a mare to foal once she's began major contractions is 30 minutes. Any longer and the foal could be in serious trouble. Usually it should only take 10 minutes for the mare to foal on her own.
about eleven months, or about 340 days (normal average range 320-370 days)
A mare is typically pregnant for around 11 months before giving birth to a foal. The actual birthing process, from the onset of labor to the foal being delivered, usually takes around 30 minutes to an hour.
The mare and foal should remain separated until the mare is completely dry. This could take anywhere from 2 weeks to a month.
The gestation period of a zebra is anywhere from 360 to 390 days. The mare then nurses her foal for up to 12 months.
WEANING. You simply take the mother into one pasture- holding the foal back- and shut the foal inside another. Or you do the same with stalls. Take the mare as far away as possible.
A foal gets his immunity from the first milk from the mare called colostrum. As long as the mare is healthy and current on her vaccinations the foal is good to go for about six months. At this point it is good to consult your vet to see what he recommends but this is about the time (give or take) to start his life-long series of vaccinations.
It normally takes 11 months for a mare before she gives birth, but occasionally it will be 10 or 12 months.
The average mare will be pregnant for 340 days, or about 11 to 12 months. But the average foaling time, or labor time, is usually no more than 30 minutes.
A mare takes the foal and keeps it safe until its 8 months old then it can take care of its self. the mare makes sure no horse will hurt it and the mare feeds it:)i hope i could help!!
there is no particular way to know, but once she stands up and starts grunting you'll know that she is about to give birth (some mares lay down while giving birth. in that case it is impossible to tell when the foal/colt will be born
