In August, an African wild ass and a Grévy's Zebra foal were born at Marwell Zoo, both endangered species.

Following a complicated ‘red bag delivery’ the filly displayed dummy foal symptoms and required intensive measures to save her life.

An OVC study into the development and differences in foal microbiomes could advance treatment of critical cases of diarrhea.

Researchers will evaluate foals’ response to moderately strenuous exercise to see if it stimulates bone growth in areas susceptible to fractures.
