Feeding Direction
Forage is the most important component of a horse's diet and should be fed at a rate of 1.5-2.5% of a horse's body weight.
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
The Big Two Forage Grass: Timothy and Orchard
High quality forage is critical for proper digestive function in horses. Forage (hay/pasture) makes up 60-100% of the diet for horses, depending on their function and activity. For horses that are stalled, or for horses that do not have abundant pasture, stored forage in the form of hay is the primary source of forage. The most popular choices for grasses to be utilized as horse hay are Timothy Grass and Orchard Grass making them the big two forage grasses.
Target Feeding Rate
Gradually replace existing hay with Standlee over a 7-14 day period
- Cattle: Max 3%
- Donkey: Max 1.5%
- Goat: Max 4%
- Liama: Max 2%
Storage & Shelf Lifes
- Forage is a natural agriculture product. Despite the use of modern processing equipment, it is not always possible to remove all foreign materials. Sort and remove foreign materials before feeding
- To maintain product quality and ensure safety, store product in a covered, cool, and well-ventilated environment out of the effects of the weather
- Discard any soiled or wet forage immediately
