Feeding

Directions

  • Feed changes should be made over 2 days.
  • To make a complete horse feed, for one horse weighing 500kg (1100 lb), mix 400g of Harmony Ration Balancer Pellets to 600g dried beet pulp (to be soaked). Feed 2.5 kg/day of the resulting mixture such that 1.0kg of Harmony Ration Balancer is provided per 500kg body weight, divided into two feedings.
  • Harmony Ration Balancer Pellets should be fed over 2 feedings per day. See serving size chart for appropriate feeding rates.
  • Please accurately determine how much to feed. A kitchen scale is an excellent tool for any feed room.
  • If the recommended feed rates are not suitable for your horse (ie: unwanted weight changes), please contact us to discuss your horse’s individual needs.
  • DO NOT EXCEED recommended feeding rates.
  • Provide clean water and a salt source at all times. DO NOT provide additional trace minerals containing copper, zinc and/or selenium.
  • Adequate forage supply provides the base of a healthy diet. If free choice hay is unavailable, ensure a minimum of 1.5% of the horse’s bodyweight as hay or equivalent pasture is provided daily.
