It is based on rice and rice bran and fortified with minerals and vitamins to ensure optimum nutrition for horses when nutritional uptake is critical to growth and development.

Contains 4.2% rice bran oil, naturally occurring in the rice bran, which is the equivalent of 45 mls of rice bran oil per 1 kg. An average feed of 3 kg contains over 135 mls of rice bran oil.

Feeding Rates

This feed is designed to be fed as a complete feed to growing and breeding horses and has been formulated to be fed in conjunction with good quality pasture of pasture hay. It is recommended that feed be weighed prior to feeding to ensure that over feeding or underfeeding doesn’t occur.

These feeding rates are intended as a guide only. The quantity individual horses require will depend on the quality of your pasture / hay, stage growth and breeding and body condition of your horse.

Notes

  • Weigh your horse or use a “CopRice Horse Weight Estimator” (available from your CopRice produce merchant or feed retailer) to gain an accurate estimate of your horses weight prior to feeding to ensure correct feeding rates.
  • CopRice G Horse should be incorporated into the diet gradually over a period of 14 – 21 days.
  • Always ensure that horses have access to cool clean water at all times.
  • The feeding levels listed in the table above are based on good quality pasture or pasture hay. If pasture quality is poor it is recommended that some Lucerne chaff / hay and or some white chaff be used as an extra fibre source.
