Foal/No Foal Report:

• Here is where you generate your Foal Report or where you may correct your online Foal Report (not always possible).
• Entering the 12-digit livestock owner number is mandatory for members from Germany, as no Equine Passport may be issued for a foal without an existing livestock owner number. This is a lasting identification number given to each facility/farm in Germany where horses are being kept (and where foals are born) by the district veterinary office in charge.
• The dialog already contains some mare information and the appropriate breeding data known to us and cannot be accessed by you.
