Healthy foals are priceless.
Immuno-Chek G™ foal IgG is a point of care test to measure Foal IgG in 10 min.
IgG levels of all foals should be routinely measured when they are about 12 to 24 hours old. Foals are born with no circulating antibodies (IgG) and must receive adequate antibodies from the mare's colostrum. Up to 25% of newborn foals have low IgG levels, placing them at high risk for infection, serious illness, or death.
Low IgG may result from premature lactation, poor suckling, malabsorption, or lowquality colostrum. An IgG test measures whether a foal’s IgG level is normal, low, or very low. Rapid identification of low IgG is critical for initiating early treatment in foals with insufficient circulating antibodies.
