Packages to assist owners with their first foal including 3rd trimester nutrition, what to do approaching due date range, assessing quality of colostrum, signs of foaling, foaling down, first aid and post foaling care.

WORM ISSUES
Fecal Egg Counts (FEC) Are a useful snapshot for assessing small strongyle burdens (those tiny red ones) and help establish a drenching programme in line with international best practice. Routine drenching every 6-8 weeks is out-dated and a significant contributing factor to drench resistance.

HOOF TRIMMING
Maintenance & remedial trims, shoe removal, referral to WCF farrier where required.

ANIMAL WELFARE CONSULTANCY
Investigations into animal welfare matters and preparation of files to prosecution standard for MPI or private prosecution.
