This course is designed for veterinary professionals, students, and breeders who are dedicated to providing the best care for newborn foals, from the critical first breath through to weaning.
Caring for equine neonates presents unique challenges and opportunities. This course offers an in-depth exploration of foal physiology, developmental milestones, and common neonatal conditions. You will learn how to assess a foal’s health status immediately after birth, recognize early signs of illness, and implement effective treatment strategies.
Key topics include normal and high-risk parturition, emergency care for compromised foals, management of neonatal sepsis, and nutritional support for optimal growth. The course also covers preventive healthcare measures, including vaccination and parasite control for young foals. Practical modules guide you through the steps of clinical examination, fluid therapy, and critical care management.
Through real-world case studies, evidence-based practices, and hands-on guidance, this course equips you with the skills to address challenges like failure of passive transfer, neonatal maladjustment syndrome, and orthopedic developmental issues.

My name is Mohamed Al Ashram. As an author, instructor, and veterinarian, I am deeply passionate about medicine, science, and technology. Reading and writing are not just hobbies for me; they are my true joys. With a medical background and a degree in veterinary medicine, along with postgraduate studies in microbiology, biochemistry, and genetics, I find endless motivation in learning and teaching.
Teaching is not merely a job; it’s a responsibility and a mission. It’s about transferring knowledge and experience to our sons and daughters, our colleagues, and our students. I believe that every lesson learned is a stepping stone toward a brighter future. Through education, we can inspire curiosity, foster innovation, and cultivate the next generation of thinkers and doers. That’s what drives me every day.
