Here for the breeders, and managed by Deerpath Breeding and Development, this service provides an alternative to plasma transfusions for young foals at risk immediately after birth.

The Rayne Memorial Colostrum Bank has been instrumental in giving many foals a great start when compromised at birth.

Ask how you can help by donating colostrum from your foaling mare (after her own foals needs are addressed of course). Due to the overwhelming response to the bank this year, we are in dire need of colostrum. If you are in a position to milk a healthy mare, please contact us for details on how you can save some for a foal in need down the road. Your mare's own foal can still get the required colostrum it needs, AND you can save some for the bank.

Please contact Rob Fera at Deerpath directly and keep his telephone number handy in your foaling kit. Rob's telephone number is (519) 826-0170 and his email is deerpathequine@aol.com

We wish you a successful breeding and foaling season!
