• Feeding Directions

  Description

  Start with the amounts of Ultium^® Gastric Care Horse Formula 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 Ultium^® Gastric Care Horse Formula to maintain appropriate body condition.
  ** To meet nutrient requirements, do not feed less than 0.3 lbs. per 100 lbs. of bodyweight per day for mature horses at maintenance (3 lbs. per 1000-lb horse). If your horse gains too much weight at the minimum feeding rate, transition to Purina^® Enrich Plus^® Ration Balancing Feed.
  *** Feeding rates of Ultium^® Gastric Care 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.
  
  A 4-pound meal of Ultium^® Gastric Care Horse Formula supplies a full serving of Outlast^® Supplement.

  Caution

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

  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 0.5 lbs/100 lbs of body weight per meal. 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. Always feed a minimum of 1.0 to 1.2 lbs per 100 lbs of body weight of good quality clean hay or the equivalent in pasture.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
