Purina Equine Senior Horse Feed

Best Results

• Good quality hay or pasture may be fed along with Equine Senior^® horse feed.

• Make sure your horse is free of dental problems and can effectively chew and utilize the forage.

• Reduce the amount of Equine Senior^® horse feed by 1.0 pound for every 1.5 to 2.0 pounds of hay consumed by your horse.

• Do not feed less than 0.6 pounds per 100 pounds body weight of Equine Senior^® horse feed per day when fed with hay to meet minimum daily requirements of protein, vitamins and minerals.

• Feeding rates will vary with size, age, temperament, health status, climate and activity level. Feed at regular times - at least twice daily - with three daily feedings preferred. Let horses feed in a natural position from troughs with large bottoms, placed at normal head height or lower. Do not feed free-choice. Prevent the rapid eating by the horse of any feedstuff.

• 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.

• 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.

• Have plenty of clean, fresh water available at all times. Provide your horse with access to salt. Maintain an effective control program for internal parasites. Have the horse's teeth examined annually and consult your veterinarian on a regular basis.
