Feed

So, lately, whenever i'm training foals they are NEVER getting enough feed! They are at 111% and 101% feed with about half being milk and half yellow corn for the 101% and all milk for the 111%. Each day they have about 40%-60% of their energy. What can I do to fill their energy?

Sorry for the late reply, I went to make me some hot dogs.
Anyway, it's likely the size of the adult that the foal is growing into. I avoid this by always raising my foals, up to 6 months, on pasture and not in barn. This usually allows them to gain enough and replenish energy values even during heavy training. Sometimes at 4.5 months and 5 months, I get an error saying they aren't eating enough, but it's usually always the tall ones, the worst ones might only gain 89% energy, but that's the worst I've had when raising on pasture.
