      Description

      RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE MAINTENANCE OF YOUR ADULT HORSE

      Weight management program: Feeding Purina® Equine Adult® horse feed at a reduced rate may
      help horses which are obese. Begin by cutting the recommended feeding rate by 10%. Continue
      to adjust the rate until your horse reaches the desired weight, then return to the feeding rate that
      is recommended for your horse's weight and lifestyle.

      Miniature horses and ponies: Purina® Equine Adult® horse feed is an ideal complete feed for
      miniature horses and ponies at maintenance and light work activity levels. For feeding directions
      for miniature horses and ponies, please contact your Purina® horse feed retailer, a Purina® Sales
      Representative or our Customer Service Department.

      Winter feeding: In the winter, the amount of feed may need to be increased by 10-15% to offset
      the increased calorie requirements of maintaining body condition.

      Every horse is unique. After observing the horse for a period of time, you may want to increase or decrease the daily feeding amount of Purina® Equine Adult® horse feed by up to 10% to obtain desired overall body condition and appearance. Purina® Equine Adult® horse feed may be fed as a complete feed because it is formulated with high-quality roughage. You may feed with or without hay or pasture per directions.

      FEEDING EQUINE ADULT® HORSE FEED WITHOUT FORAGE

      Amount to be fed daily when no forage is fed along with Purina® Equine Adult® horse feed.
       
        Weight of Horse in Pounds
      Lifestyle 800 1,000 1,200
      Equine Adult® Horse Feed (lbs/day)
      Maintenance-Minimum Activity 10.00 12.50 15.00
      Maintenance-Average Activity 11.00 13.75 16.50
      Maintenance-Elevated Activity 12.00 15.00 18.00
      Light Work 13.25 16.50 19.75
      Early Gestation (first 250 days) 11.25 14.25 17.00

      Every horse is unique. That’s why the recommended feeding rates Purina suggests for Equine
      Adult® horse feed may need to be increased or decreased by up to 10-15% to keep your horse in
      optimal body condition.

      A 6 lb meal of Equine Adult® Horse Feed supplies a full serving of Outlast® Supplement.

      FEEDING EQUINE ADULT® HORSE FEED WITH FORAGE

      Good quality hay or pasture may be fed along with Purina® Equine Adult® horse feed. When fed
      with hay, reduce about 1.0 lb for each 1.5-2.0 lbs of hay offered.

      Do not feed less than 0.6 lbs per 100 lbs body weight of Purina® Equine Adult® horse feed per
      day to meet minimum daily requirements of protein, vitamins and minerals.

      Caution

      Follow label directions: feeding added selenium at levels in excess of 0.3 ppm in the total diet is prohibited.

      Wash hands after feeding/handling animals.

      Not for human consumption. Wash feed/water containers regularly

      Important

      1.Feeding rates will vary with size, age, temperament, health status, forage quality, climate and activity level. Feed at regular times, at least twice daily. Do not feed more than 0.8 lbs/100 lbs of body weight per meal when fed without forage or more than 0.5 lbs/100 lbs of body weight per meal when fed with forage. Do not feed free-choice. Prevent rapid eating by the horse of any feedstuff.

      2. Reduce and/or delay feeding a horse which is hot, excited or showing pain, has fever or diarrhea. Consult your veterinarian if any problems arise.

      3. Any feed changes should be made gradually over a period of 7 to 10 days. Changes in the rate of feeding should not exceed 1.0 lb per day for each horse.

      4. Provide fresh, clean water at all times. Provide your horse with access to salt. Consult with your veterinarian regularly and maintain a routine dental, parasite control and health care program for your horse.

      For horses sensitive to dietary carbohydrates, please consult with a veterinarian or nutritionist for a recommended diet.

See effective results

I began using the Equine Active selection that fits my horse needs. Within one week I could see the results. This feed describes all the nutritional benefits and all that extra your horse will ever need. I'm surprised it does not have a satisfaction guarantee stamped on the bag.
