* 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.
