Weaning is a very stressful time for a foal. [4] [5]: 231 A weaner also refers to an anti-suckling device, such as a metal or plastic flap or spiked ring placed over an animal's mouth to inhibit it from nursing from its mother, or stop persistent sucking behaviors on inappropriate objects, such as another calf's ears, or a dry cow's teats.
Weaning in horses usually takes place when the foal is 4 to 5 months old, [30] as by this point the foal no longer needs nutrients beyond what the mare offers.
