Feeding Directions
- The following feeding directions are guidelines to maintain desired body condition and performance. Feeding rates need to be adjusted according to the horse's condition and training or competition schedule. Split the recommended level into two or more feedings each day.
| Lb Feed Per 100lb Bodyweight | |
| Early Gestation/Maintenance | .025 to .05 |
| Late Gestation/Light Exercise/Breeding Stallions | 0.5 to 0.75 |
| Lactating Mares (Late Lactation, 3 Months to Weaning)/Moderate Exercise | .75 to 1.0 |
| Lactating Mares (Early Lactation, Foaling to 3 months)/Heavy Exercise | 1.0 to 1.5 |
| Foals | Creep Feed |
| Weanlings | 0.5 to 1.25 |
| Yearlings | 0.75 to 1.5 |
- Growing horses should not be fed to excess bodyweight. Adjust feeding rate to maintain desired rate of gain and body condition. Long yearlings/two-year-olds may be switched to Nutrena Life Design® Compete or Life Design® Prime, depending on desired growth rate and level of training or competition.
- Feed good, clean, quality hay or pasture equivalent at the rate of 1.0 to 1.75 lb per 100 lb bodyweight daily.
- Provide plenty of fresh, clean water at all times except to hot, tired horses. Horses should be cooled out properly before having access to unlimited water or being fed. Salt should be available free-choice.
