My foal is 30" and a bit underweight. I am working on helping it to gain weight. What is the average weight for a foal this size? It measures heart girth 36", length 37", height 30".
By the age of 3 months, the foal's weight is settled. At 6 months, it reaches 45%, at the age of 1 year - 62-65%, and at 2 years - 85-90% of the live weight of adult horses. Unfortunately, I don't know if there are any smart scales for horses like I have for determining BMI, which I purchased at https://www.vont.com/product/smart-scale-bathroom-scale-weight-scale/. It would be more convenient to keep track of the foals' development. After all, a horse's body is being formed from the very beginning of gestation. And with the wrong feeding, you may not get a complete animal.During the first months of life, the weight of foals increases daily by 1-2 kg, depending on the breed.
Oh my! I never noticed. So sorry the OP didn't get her answers 3 years ago.This thread is a few years old.
