• Feed with a minimum of 1% of the horse's body weight of good quality hay or the equivalent in pasture
• Start with the amounts given for the weight and class of horse. After observing the horse for a period of time, the amount fed may be increased or decreased gradually to obtain the desired body condition and weight. If recommended feeding rates do not yield the desired results, ask your Purina Mills Representative if another product may be more appropriate
• Consistency is one very important factor in reducing the chance of digestive upsets in a horse. However, there are times when changes cannot be avoided, so making any modifications slowly can help minimize the risk of digestive disturbances. Changes in types of feed should be made gradually (4-7 days for small adjustments, up to three weeks for radical alterations). A sudden change in hay can also increases the risk of digestive upset, so gradually switching horses from the old hay to the new will help minimize the likelihood of digestive problems
