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 additional calories are needed do the following:
Add 1 lb. of Gro 'n Win® or Gro 'n
Win® Alfa by Buckeye Nutrition® for every
3 lbs of EQ8™ Gut Health
underfed.
Always maintain a clean, fresh water supply.
Make salt available free choice.
