With 14% protein and 10% fat, it's easy to digest and packed with the calories older horses need to maintain muscle and body condition. Fortified with GRO 'N WIN, it provides essential amino acids, vitamins, and minerals for complete, balanced nutrition without overfeeding.

Feed according to the amounts shown, which are based on the weight of your horse and its level of work. This chart shows the amount of EQ8 Senior Gut Health Multi-Textured Feed to feed in lb per day and minimum lb of hay per day. One quart of EQ8 Senior weighs 1.1 lb. Provide clean, fresh water and salt at all times. If feeding less than recommended amounts per day, add 1 lb of GRO 'N WIN, GRO 'N WIN Alfa, or Senior Balancer by BUCKEYE Nutrition for every 5 lb of EQ8 Senior Gut Health Multi-Textured Feed underfed. For additional calories, top-dress ration with ULTIMATE FINISH 25, 40 or 100. Contact BUCKEYE Nutrition for additional feeding recommendations.
