Foal Immunoglobulin G (Foal IgG)
Foals possess the ability to produce infection-fighting antibodies, called immunoglobulins or Igs, from the moment they’re born. What they don’t possess is pre-existing Igs in their bloodstream at the time of birth to protect them from the onslaught of bacteria and other infection-inducing microorganisms in their new environment.
