For horses that do not approximate this expected mature weight, feeding rates for mature horses at maintenance can be estimated
based on 0.2-0.4 lbs Purina® Omega Match™ Ration Balancer and 0.2 lbs hay or pasture per 100 lbs body weight per day.
The additional calorie and nutrient demands of horses in more work may be better met by adding a grain or
a Purina® product designed for performance horses.
The additional calories needed during the last trimester of gestation and through lactation can be provided by adding a grain or a
Purina® product designed for breeding and growing horses
More rapid rates of growth can be achieved by adding grain to the diet. However, given the inherent nutritional inconsistencies of
straight grain diets, more rapid rates of gain are more safely and successfully achieved by feeding a Purina® product designed for
growing horses.
A 2 lb meal of Omega Match™ Ration Balancing Horse Feed supplies a full serving of Outlast® supplement.
