Foal IgG
Neonatal foals are born without antibodies and are unable to produce their own immunoglobulin G (IgG) initially. If a foal fails to consume an adequate amount of high-quality colostrum within 24 hours, its IgG levels will be low, increasing the risk of severe infections. The Vcheck foal IgG test kit provides quantitative measurement of IgG levels in whole blood, serum and plasma.

What Our Customers Are Saying
“ I have evaluated Bionote’s Vcheck F equine tests for measuring foal IgG and mare progesterone levels and found them to be very helpful and easy to use. The quantitative results and fast testing time are really important in a clinical program. You get the accurate data you need quickly, which will allow you to develop and implement an appropriate treatment plan going forward."
