Feeding Directions
Description
Feeding directions with hay or pasture. Start with the amounts given for the weight and lifestyle of the horse. After observing the horse for a period of time, the amount fed may be increased or decreased by 10% to obtain the desired body condition and weight.
*This is the recommended minimum amount of hay to be fed. If feeding more hay, reduce the feeding rate of Strategy® GX horse feed by 1.0 pound for every additional 2.0 pounds of hay fed.| Weight of Horse in Pounds Lifestyle 600 800 1,000 1,200 1,400 Minimum Hay or Equivalent Pasture* (lbs/day) 7.00 9.50 12.00 14.50 17.00 | Strategy® Professional GX Horse Feed (lbs/day)** Light Work 3.50 4.50 5.75 6.75 7.75 Moderate Work 4.75 6.25 7.75 9.25 10.75 Heavy Work 6.00 7.75 9.75 11.75 13.50 Very Heavy Work 8.75 11.75 14.50 17.25 20.25 Early Gestation (first 250 days) 2.50 3.25 4.00 4.75 5.50 Late Gestation last 90 days) 3.50 4.75 5.75 7.00 8.00 Lactation (when fed separately) 7.75 10.25 12.75 15.25 17.75 Breeding Stallion 4.25 5.50 6.75 8.25 9.50 Weaned Foal through Yearling 300 400 500 600 700 Minimum Hay or Equivalent Pasture* (lbs/day) 3.00 4.00 6.00 7.00 8.50 Strategy® GX horse feed (lbs/day)*** 7.50-8.50 7.75-8.75 7.25-9.5 7.75-10.25 8.00-10.25
**Do not feed less than 0.3 pounds per 100 pounds of body weight per day for mature horses or 0.75 pounds per 100 pounds of body weight per day for yearlings . If your horse gains too much weight at that minimum feeding rate, then you should replace Strategy® GX horse feed with Enrich Plus® ration balancing feed.
***Use lower feeding rate for moderate growth rate and the higher feeding rate to support more rapid growth.Best Results
- Feeding rates will vary with size, age, temperament, health status, forage quality,climate and activity level. Feed at regular times - at least twice daily - with three daily feedings preferred. Let horses feed in a natural position from troughs with large bottoms, placed at normal head height or lower. Do not feed free-choice. Prevent the rapid eating by the horse of any feedstuff.
- Reduce and/or delay feeding a horse which is hot, excited or showing pain, has fever or diarrhea. Consult your veterinarian if any problems arise.
- Always feed a minimum of 1.0 to 1.2 lbs per 100 lbs of body weight of good quality, clean hay or the equivalent in pasture.
- Any feed changes should be made gradually over a period of 7 to 10 days. Changes in the rate of feeding should not exceed 1.0 lb per day for each horse.
- Have plenty of clean, fresh water available at all times. Provide your horse with access to salt. Maintain an effective control program for internal parasites. Have the horse's teeth examined annually and consult your veterinarian on a regular basis.
Changing To
- Make the feed change gradually over a period of 7 to 10 days.
- Mix the new feed with the old, gradually increasing the amount of the new feed while decreasing an equal amount of the old.
- Changes in the rate of feeding should not exceed 1 pound per day for each horse.
Caution
