NutriRice Veteran

For older horses, generally above 15 years of age. Contains high levels of essential vitamins, minerals and nutrients essential for a healthy life and longevity.

Description

A scientifically formulated and nutritionally balanced steam extruded complete feed based largely on rice bran. Manufactured from and fortified with only the highest quality ingredients, vitamins and minerals specifically for older horses.

Formulated to be high in fat and low in starch resulting in sustained release energy with the reduced risk of digestive upsets. The combination of rice bran as the principal ingredient plus the extrusion cooking means that this feed is extremely palatable and digestible, which is important for older horses with poor dentition or aged mouths.

Contains 8.0% rice bran oil, naturally occurring in the rice bran, which is the equivalent of 85 ml of rice bran oil per 1 kg. An average feed of 3 kg contains over 250 mls of rice bran oil, which means that there is no need to add additional oil supplements.

Feeding Rates

This feed is designed to be fed in conjunction with pasture or pasture hay to ponies and horses 15 years and older.

These feeding rates are intended as a guide only. The quantity individual horses require will depend on the quality of your pasture/hay, stage of training, intensity of exercise 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.
• NutriRice Veteran should be 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 tables 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.
• These feeding rates are intended as a guide only. The quantity individual horses require will depend on the quality of your pasture/hay, stage of training, intensity of exercise and body condition of your horse.
• It is recommended that feed be weighed prior to feeding to ensure that overfeeding or underfeeding doesn’t occur.
