Likewise, people ask, what do you feed a weanling foal?

If pasture is scarce or dry, the weanlings will need supplementary high-quality lucerne (alfalfa) or clover hay/chaff to provide higher levels of energy, protein, and calcium than grass hay or oaten chaff. A grass or hay diet alone will be deficient in the necessary minerals and vitamins.

Beside above, what can I feed my 3 month old foal?

To support smooth, steady growth, suckling foals should be offered one pound of a properly-formulated foal feed per month of age per day. For example, a 3-month-old would ideally be eating about three pounds of feed per day, in addition to milk and free choice hay or pasture.

When can a foal start eating grain?

At this time, the foal should be allowed to eat what it wants. Most foals will begin to nibble some hay and grain on their own at 1 to 3 weeks of age. At approximately 10 to 12 weeks of age, the growth rate and nutrient requirement of most foals will exceed the level of nutrients provided in the mare's milk.
