  * This is the recommended minimum amount of hay to be fed. If feeding more hay, you may reduce the feeding rate of Ultium^® Growth Horse Formula to maintain appropriate body condition.
  ** To meet nutrient requirements, do not feed less than 0.35 lbs. per 100 lbs. bodyweight (BW) per day (3.5 lbs. per 1,000 lbs. BW) for gestating mares, 0.50 lbs. per 100 lbs. BW for lactating mares or 0.75 lbs. per 100 lbs. BW per day for growing horses (3.75 lbs. per 500-lb. BW). If your horse gains too much weight at the minimum feeding rate, transition to Purina^® Enrich Plus^® Ration Balancing Feed.
  *** Recommended minimum amount of hay to be fed to lactating mares is 2 lbs. per 100 lbs. BW per day (20 lbs. per 1,000 lbs. BW).
  **** Use the lower feeding rate for moderate growth rate and the higher feeding rate to support more rapid growth.
  NOTE: Feeding rates of Ultium^® Growth Horse Formula and forage may be adjusted or feed may be top-dressed with Purina^® Amplify^® High-Fat Supplement for additional calories.
  SUCKLING FOALS: Begin offering feed within two weeks of birth. Feed 1.0 lb. of Ultium^® Growth Horse Formula per month of age per day.
  
  A 4-pound meal of Ultium^® Growth Horse Formula supplies a full serving of Outlast^® Supplement.

  Caution

  Follow label directions. Feeding added selenium resulting in total diet levels in excess of 0.3 ppm 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.
