Feeding Guide

A daily ration should contain a mixture of roughage, that is hay, chaff, Fibre Plus and or pasture and grains or concentrates.

Your minimum roughage intake should be approximately 1% of your horse’s bodyweight.

A foal needs a diet of good quality roughage and minimal grain or concentrate.

A mare also needs a diet of good quality roughage and grain.

The more they do, the more you need to increase the grain content of their diet to cater for their increased energy requirement.
