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.
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.
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
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.
