Feeding Rates & Requirements
Equi-Jewel Feeding Rate
| Feed | Frequency |
|---|---|
| 0.5 - 1kg | Per day |
| These feeding rates are intended as a guide only. Always try to feed a minimum of 1.5% of bodyweight as good quality forage per day. | |
Equi-Jewel® can be fed at a rate of 500g - 1kg per day to achieve appropriate body condition, up to a maximum of 1.5kg per day when extra conditioning is required. The degree of supplementation required is dependent on the desired calorie intake.
Although the starch level of Equi-Jewel may be higher than expected, it is important top bear in mind that it is at a significantly lower feeding rate. If feeding 500g of Equi-Jewel, you will be providing your horse with 100g of starch. If you compare this to a feed with only 5% starch but you need to feed 2kg per day, you would also be supplying 100g of starch. Therefore, because of the lower feeding rate of Equi-Jewel, we do not consider the starch to be an issue with digestive, metabolic or muscle disorders.
The feeding rates are offered as a guideline, if you would like to discuss your horse's individual requirements please contact a member of our Nutrition Team on +44 (0) 1622 718487.
Best Feeding Practice
Equi-Jewel Good Feeding Practice
- Ensure clean fresh water is always available
- Feed little and often and split the total daily feed into 2-3 meals
- Feed by weight (kg) and not by volume (scoops)
- Feed according to bodyweight and condition score, the type and intensity of work
- Make any dietary changes gradually
- Make sure you store your feed in a cool, dry and clean environment
In line with correct feed management, Saracen Horse Feeds recommend that all horses always have access to fresh clean water, are offered a chaff or forage meal 30 minutes prior to concentrate feeding and that all feeds are dampened and mixed well with chaff.
Feeding levels vary greatly from horse to horse as they are all individuals. If you would like to discuss your horses’ requirements, please contact a Saracen Horse Feeds equine specialist on +44 (0)1622 718 487 or take advantage of our free Feed Advice.
