What undesirable symptoms develop when using the sudden separation method of weaning foals?
By separating your animals, you cause both animals to experience separation anxiety. The anxiety is a form of stress that can manifest into animals pacing along the fence lines or stall weaving. Sometimes the animals will start to chew on fences, trees, or stalling materials. Often excessive (heart wrenching) vocalization will occur by both animals. Loss of weight or a slowdown of growth-rate can occur. Animals could attempt to break out, resulting in self-inflicted injuries. Many times these injuries require special attention, veterinarian care, or even result in death. Using the EZEE WEAN halter and strap allows your animals to continue to share companionship and eliminates separation stress.
