Feeding Directions
Feed at regular times, at least twice daily with three daily
feedings preferred. Feed according to the amounts shown below which

work. The maximum amount of Training™
Alfa to feed per feeding is 5 lbs./1000 lbs. of
body weight.
For Mature Horses: The following chart is the
amount of Training™ Alfa to feed
in pounds/day showing minimum and maximum with the minimum lbs of
hay/day shown.

Forage values are suggested intakes based on good quality
forage. The quality and digestibility of the forage is
variable and dependent on the maturity of the plant at
harvest. Horses older than 6 months should be fed at least 1%
of the bodyweight as forage to maintain gut health.
When possible, have your forage analyzed to estimate quality and
digestibility. If the recommended minimum feeding rate is not met,
either: Add 1 lb of Gro 'n Win®
Alfa for every 4 lbs of Training formula Alfa
underfed.
If additional body weight is desired and the maximum of
Training™ Alfa formula is being
fed per day, add 1 to 3 lbs of Ultimate
Finish™.
Always maintain a clean, fresh water supply.
Make salt available free choice.
