· Senior horses can be fed low protein roughage due to high quality proteins in Mare & Foal. E.g.
White chaffs and pasture hays preferred to Lucerne and clover products.
· Feeding levels are intended as a guide only, ensure that clean, cool water and roughage in the form
of pasture and/or hay is available at all times.
· Daily roughage intake should make up no less that 1.00% (minimum) – 1.50% (ideal) of the horses
live body weight (LBW) to assist in maintaining healthy gut function.
· Pellets fed at levels greater than 1.00% of horses LBW should be fed over 2 or more feeds per day.
· Feeding levels based on other feeds available, body condition and rate of metabolism (good/poor
doer) also on the maturity weight of the horse (500 – 550 kg).
· Introduce new feeds or changes to current feeding gradually over a 10 -14 day period.
