FEEDING DIRECTIONS WITH HAY OR PASTURE: Start with the amounts of Omolene
® 300 Mare & Foal 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

*This is the recommended minimum amount of hay to be fed. If feeding more hay, you may reduce the feeding rate of Omolene
® 300 needed to maintain appropriate body condition.
** Do not feed less than 0.35 lbs/100 lbs body weight/day (3.5 lbs per 1000 lbs BW) 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
® 300 with Purina
® ENRICH PLUS
® Ration Balancing Horse Feed.
*** Feeding rates of Omolene
® 300 and forage may be adjusted or feed may be top-dressed with Purina
® Amplify
® High Fat Supplement for additional calories.
**** Use the lower feeding rate for moderate growth rate and the higher feeding rate to support more rapid growth.
SUCKLING FOALS: Begin offering feed within two weeks of birth. Feed 1.0 lb of Omolene
® 300 horse feed per month of age per day.
700-LB WEANLINGS: Horses with expected mature weight of 1,000 lbs or greater may continue on Omolene
® 300 or change to Purina
® Omolene
® 200 Performance horse feed.
