FEEDING DIRECTIONS WITH HAY OR PASTURE: Start with the amounts of Omolene® 200 Performance given for the weight and lifestyle of the horse. After observing the horse for a period of time, the amount fed may be gradually increased or decreased to obtain the desired body condition and weight.
For feeding directions outside the ranges addressed in these feeding charts, please contact your local Purina® retailer or Purina Customer Service at 800-227-8941.

*This is the recommended minimum amount of hay to be fed. If feeding more hay, you may reduce the feeding rate of Omolene
® 200 needed to maintain appropriate body condition.
**Do not feed less than 0.3 lbs per 100 lbs of body weight per day for mature horses (3 lbs per 1000-lb horse) or 0.75 lbs per 100 lbs of body weight per day for yearlings (3.75 lbs per 500-lb BW). If your horse gains too much weight at that minimum feeding rate, replace Omolene® 200 with Purina
® ENRICH PLUS
® Ration Balancing Horse Feed.
***Feeding rates of Omolene® 200 and forage may be adjusted or feed may be top-dressed with Purina
® Amplify
® High Fat Supplement for additional calories. Hard-working horses may also benefit from supplementation with Purina
® SuperSport
® Amino Acid Supplement.
****Use the lower feeding rate for moderate growth rate and the higher feeding rate to support more rapid growth rate.
