The following feeding directions are guidelines to maintain desired body condition and performance. Feeding rates need to be adjusted according to the horse's body condition and activity level. Divide the recommended daily feeding rate into 2 or more meals per day and feed with good quality hay or pasture equivalent at the rate of 1.0 - 1.75 LB per 100 LB bodyweight or kg per 100 kg bodyweight to provide a minimum of 50% of the diet from forage. Performance horses may benefit from being fed more frequently.
Clean water should be available at all times. Horses that have been exercised should be cooled out and re-hydrated properly before being fed and before having access to unlimited water.CAUTION: Store feed in a clean, cool, and dry location. Storage area should be free of insects and rodents. Do not allow animals access to feedstuffs that show signs of insect or rodent infestation. Do not allow animals access to hot or moldy feedstuffs at any time. CAUTION: Follow Label directions. Feeding added selenium at levels in excess of 0.30 ppm in the total diet is prohibited.

Q: I have 2, 15 y.o TWH, they are easy keepers. They are lightly worked. Mainly trail ride or around the property. How much would you recommend for feeding? They are 1200lbs...
3 years ago- A: Thank you for your inquiry. To meet their nutrition requirements, Safe Choice Maintenance would need to be fed at 6 pounds/day along with good quality forage. Another option for easy keepers can be a diet balancer, Empower Topline Balance https://www.nutrenaworld.com/product/empower-balance-grass-formula-supplement; - this is a nutrient dense, low calorie/sugar/starch feed - 2 pounds/day along with forage would meet their requirements.3 years agoHelpful?

Q: I feed my 2 horses, ages 24 yrs. Nutrena maintenance, which they do well on along with unstablized rice bran. I was just told to stop with the rice bran because it will cause kidney issues. Is this true?
3 years ago- A: Thank you for your inquiry. Unstabilized rice bran would not cause kidney issues; however, it can go rancid quickly and if used in that condition could contain toxins and be harmful for a horse. An option for a fat supplement, pelleted and stabilized would be Empower Boost https://www.nutrenaworld.com/product/empower-boost-horse-supplement3 years agoHelpful?

Q: 1.0 lb per 100 lb horse. so if my horse weights 1300 lbs I suppose to feed him 13 lbs of grain a day??? That's insane!
4 years ago- A: The recommended feeding rate for the SafeChoice Maintenance is .3 - .5 lbs per 100 lbs for maintenance life stage, which would be 3.9 lbs to 6.5 lbs per day. Life style of a performance horse feeding rate is .6 - .75 lbs per 100 lbs, which would be 7.8 lbs - 9.75 lbs per day, and it is recommended to split into 2 feedings (am and pm). If this is more grain than you want to be feeding then I would suggest Nutrena Empower Topline Balance supplement as an alternative option. Feeding rate for maintenance is .08 - .3 lbs per 100 lbs (1.04 lbs - 3.9 lbs/day for 1300 lb horse). Performance horse light exercise, .12 - .3 lbs per 100 lbs (1.56 lbs - 3.9 lbs/day for 1300 lb horse).4 years agoHelpful?
