Abstract:
In the foal, the most common neonatal diseases are responsible for an high nonsurvival rate. Since intensive care for neonatal foals is usually very expensive an early prognosis for survival at admission or during hospitalization is recommended, as well as a prognosis for future athletic potential. Therefore, prognostic factors for prematurity, septicaemia, other infectious diseases and hospitalized foals are revised and discussed on the base of literature and authors experiences. The advantages and limitations of retrospective and perspective prognostic factors is also presented, and the possible role of new expected factors deducted by the recent advances in the knowledge of main neonatal foal diseases pathogenesis proposed.
