* This is the recommended minimum amount of hay to be fed. If feeding more hay, reduce the feeding rate of Equine Senior® Active Healthy Edge® horse feed by 1.0 pound for every additional 2.0 pounds of hay fed. EXAMPLE: Using the chart above, if feeding 14 pounds instead of 12 pounds of hay to a 1,000 pound maintenance-elevated activity level horse, reduce Equine Senior® Active Healthy Edge® horse feed offered by 1.0 pound from 5.25 to 4.25 pounds per day (2.0 pounds of additional hay divided by 2.0 pounds = 1.0 pound less of Equine Senior® Active Healthy Edge® horse feed).

Do not feed less than 0.3 pounds per 100 pounds of body weight per day. EXAMPLE: A 1,000 pound horse has ten 100 pound increments (1,000 divided by 100 = 10). So for this horse, do not feed less than 3 pounds per day (10 x 0.3 = 3.0 pounds per day). If your horse gains too much weight at that minimum feeding rate, then you should replace Equine Senior® Active Healthy Edge® horse feed with Purina’s Nature’s Essentials® Enrich 12® or Enrich 32® Horse Supplement.

IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS:

  1. 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. Feed at regular times, at least twice daily, with three daily feedings preferred. Be sure to weigh your feed using a scale. A small scale can be purchased in the fishing department of many sporting stores.
  2. Reduce and/or delay feeding a horse that is hot, excited, or showing pain, or has a fever or diarrhea. Consult your veterinarian if any problems arise. Prevent rapid eating.
  3. Let horses feed in natural position from large feed containers.
  4. Have plenty of fresh, clean water available at all times.
  5. Store in a dry, well-ventilated area protected from rodents and insects. Do not feed moldy or insect-infested feed to animals because it may cause illness or death.
  6. Observe horses daily. Consult your veterinarian for proper preventative health care. Maintain a regular deworming and vaccination program.
  7. Feeding added selenium resulting in total diet levels in excess of 0.3 ppm is prohibited.
