For optimal nutrition, welfare and performance, your horse needs adequate forage (spread out over several meals per day) and a constant supply of fresh drinking water. This foundation can be then supplemented with a balancer or concentrate feed as needed to meet all your horse’s nutritional requirements. Lastly, you can fine-tune your horse’s diet with supplements for specific needs. #feedasyouneed
Feeding recommendations for Cavalor Juniorix
Daily feeding rate in addition to at least 1.25 % of live body weight in forage
Yearling to 3 year old horses
- 300 g – Max. 400 g per 100 kg live body weight, per animal, per day
- 0.7 lb – Max. 0.9 lb per 220 lb. live body weight, per animal, per day
These feeding recommendations are intended as a guideline only. Feeding rates may need to be adjusted based on forage quality, health status and activity level of the individual horse being fed.
Tips:
- Divide the feed over several portions per day, preferably after feeding forage. Always provide free access to clean, fresh water and a source of salt.
- Not all feed scoops are the same size. Weigh the contents of your feed scoop so that you know exactly how much your horse is being fed.
- If additional vitamin, mineral, protein or fat fortification is needed, check out our Cavalor balancer products or contact us for advice.
