FEEDING RECOMMENDATIONS
- Introduce any new feeds into your horse’s diet gradually over a 1–2 week period.
- Designed to be fed in conjunction with roughage such as pasture and hay. Horses should receive a minimum of 1% of their body weight in roughage per day.
- The suggested feeding rates are a guide, and the amount required will vary depending on the quality and quantity of pasture and hay available, stage of training, exercise intensity, body condition and metabolism of your horse.
- Divide into smaller feeds if feeding over 0.5kg per 100kg of body weight per day.
- Ensure your horse always has access to clean water.
- Johnson’s Natural Formula feeds may be fed alone, or mixed with other ingredients (eg. chaff or grains) and fed wet or dry.
