The feeding rate table should be used as a guide. Actual amounts required will vary with individual horses and their work or breeding status; and changes in quality of the pasture, hay, chaff and other feeds provided.
-
When feeding below recommended rates of Gold Formula Mare and Foal Mix, vitamin and mineral deficiencies can easily be avoided with a top-up dose of Relax Everyday Vit & Min plus Probiotics.
-
Total feed intake including pasture, hay and bagged feeds should be 1.5 to 2.5 % of bodyweight daily (dry weight of feed). The majority of intake (at least 1% of bodyweight) for breeding and growing horses should be roughage (hay, chaff, pasture).
-
Roughage should be available at all times.
-
It is better to feed a concentrated feed like Mare and Foal Mix Gold Formula twice or three times a day, rather than all at once. Do not feed more than 0.5 kg of change to Mare and Foal Mix Gold Formula per 100kg bodyweight in a single meal.
-
Always provide clean, fresh water.
-
Introduce new feeds into the diet gradually over a period of 1 to 2 weeks to allow the gut bacteria to adjust.
