For horses sensitive to dietary carbohydrates, please consult with a veterinarian or nutritionist for a recommended diet.
Best Results
- Good quality hay or pasture may be fed along with equine senior horse feed
- Make sure your horse is free of dental problems and can effectively chew and utilize the forage
- Reduce the amount of equine senior horse feed by 1.0 lb for every 1.5 to 2.0 lb of hay consumed by your horse
- Do not feed less than 0.6 lb per 100 lb body weight of equine senior horse feed per day when fed with hay to meet minimum daily requirements of protein, vitamins, and minerals
- Feeding rates will vary with size, age, temperament, health status, climate, and activity level. Feed at regular times - at least twice daily - with three daily feedings preferred. Let horses feed in a natural position from troughs with large bottoms, placed at normal head height or lower. Do not feed free choice. Prevent the rapid eating by the horse of any feedstuff
- Reduce and/or delay feeding a horse that is hot, excited, or showing pain, has a fever, or diarrhea. Consult your veterinarian if any problems arise
- Any feed changes should be made gradually over a period of 7 to 10 days. Changes in the rate of feeding should not exceed 1.0 lb per day for each horse
- Have plenty of clean, fresh water available at all times. Provide your horse with access to salt. Maintain an effective control program for internal parasites. Have the horse's teeth examined annually and consult your veterinarian on a regular basis
Changing To
- Make the feed change gradually over a period of 7 to 10 days
- Mix the new feed with the old, gradually increasing the amount of the new feed while decreasing an equal amount of the old
- Changes in the rate of feeding should not exceed 1 lb per day for each horse
Caution
Store in a dry, well-ventilated area protected from rodents and insects. Do not feed moldy or insect-infested feed to animals as it may cause illness, performance loss, or death.
