With a good nutritional program, a healthy mare, or a good quality foal milk replacer, I see no purpose for such a product nor any reason why this should be used to treat the diseases it lists. From the other side of this equation if the foal is experiencing nutritional deficiencies this product would not be complete enough to be considered a replacer.
