Feeding Tips

• Weigh the amount of forage provided to each horse to ensure you are feeding the proper amount. This is especially important with baled and compressed forage since similar volumes of forage (a flake for example) vary in weight
• Cut the bands on compressed bales 8 to 10 hr before feeding to allow the bale to expand to avoid overfeeding
• Gradually replace existing hay with standlee forage over a 7-10 day period. Replace existing hay on a 1 to 1 basis with standlee forage
• Never feed moldy or insect infested forage to horses
• Always provide free-access to fresh, clean water

Recommended For

Growing (rapid growth) and underweight horses, horses with sensitivity to carbohydrates, horses with gastric ulcers and late pregnancy and lactating mares.
