  * These feeding recommendations are for horses eating 1 pound hay per 100 pounds of body weight per day in addition to WellSolve W/C^® horse feed. This is the minimum amount of good quality hay to be fed. If feeding more hay, decrease amount of WellSolve W/C^® horse feed fed by 1 pound per 2 pounds of additional hay fed. Do not feed less than 0.3 pounds of WellSolve W/C^® horse feed per 100 pounds of body weight daily. Over feeding good quality hay or excessive availability to pasture may reduce the effectiveness of WellSolve W/C^® horse feed to help control body weight.
  
  ** Once optimal body condition is obtained, performance horses in moderate and intense work may require a diet designed specifically for horses with higher caloric requirements such as Ultium^® or Strategy^® horse feeds.
  
  *** Pregnant mares should not be on a weight loss program during the first and last 90 days of gestation. Lactating mares should be fed a diet designed specifically for horses with higher caloric requirements such as Strategy^® horse feed.

  Best Results

  • Feed at regular times.

  • Divide total daily feeding into at least two servings with three to four daily servings preferred.

  • Do not feed over 6 pounds of WellSolve W/C^® horse feed in one serving.

  • Be sure to weigh your feed using a scale. A small scale can be purchased in the fishing department of many sporting goods stores.

  • Do not feed free-choice.

  • Feed horse in a natural position from troughs placed at normal head height or lower.

  • Have salt and plenty of fresh, clean water available at all times.

  • Maintain an effective control program for internal parasites.

  • Be sure that horses are free of dental problems.

  • This product is not recommended for young growing horses under 2 years of age.

  Changing To

  • Start with the amounts given for the weight and class of the horse. After observing the horse for a period of time, the amount fed may be increased or decreased by 10 percent to obtain the desired body condition and weight.

  • It is not uncommon for horses to lose 90 to 100 pounds in the first 90 days of being fed WellSolve W/C^® horse feed.

  • Once your horse has reached the desired body condition, you may need to feed slightly more to end the weight loss cycle.

  • Easy keepers can then be maintained on WellSolve W/C^® horse feed to sustain this healthy body condition.

  • More specific recommendations may also be obtained from a Purina representative.

  • Any feed changes should be made 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

  Always follow label directions. Store in a dry, well-ventilated area protected from rodents and insects. Do not feed moldy or insect-infested feed to animals as it may cause illness, abortion or death.
