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.
