Figure 19.22 Foaling box
MAMMARY DEVELOPMENT
The udder of the mare begins to enlarge approximately 4 weeks before foaling. Most of the
development takes place in the last two weeks when both the udder and the ventral abdomen
can become oedematous (Figure 19.23). Drops of dried colostrum accumulate as waxy
deposits on the teats 1–4 days before foaling (Figure 19.24).
