Nutritional support of the foal can be challenging because of the constant changes in nutritional requirements and dietary composition during the transition from neonate to weanling. Additional complexity arises because of dilemmas regarding the means and route of delivery of nutrition to the foal, and the possibility that metabolic dysfunction may impair the ability of the foal to use nutrients appropriately. This article provides practical information on enteral and parenteral nutritional support of sick neonatal foals. The potential benefits of a conservative, hypocaloric feeding strategy, particularly in the very sick patient, are also discussed.
由于从新生驹到断奶驹的过渡期间营养需求和饮食组成不断变化，幼驹的营养支持可能具有挑战性。由于在营养输送方式和途径方面存在两难问题，以及代谢功能障碍可能损害幼驹适当利用营养物质的能力，使得情况更加复杂。本文提供了有关患病新生幼驹肠内和肠外营养支持的实用信息。还讨论了保守的低热量喂养策略的潜在益处，特别是对于病情非常严重的患者。
