SENIOR MIX

 

FEEDING DIRECTIONS

     Wellness SENIOR MIX is a low-starch, premium quality complete feed, scientifically designed for aged horses. Wellness SENIOR MIX can be fed with forage or as the sole ration if your aged horse is unable to readily consume hay, pasture or other long-stemmed forage. Start the feeding program using the Daily Feeding Guide for the type of roughage fed and class of horse.  After observing and/or weighing the horse for a period of time, increase or decrease the daily feeding rate to obtain the desired body condition or body weight.
     If your senior horse has lost teeth or has dental problems and can no longer chew or swallow hay, this feed can be fed at a higher level, usually up to 2% of body weight per day.  This feed can be soaked in water and fed as a mash.  It is recommended that if your horse cannot consume hay or grass that an alternative form of long-stem fiber be fed.  Hay cubes, chopped hays or chaffs can be soaked in water and safely fed to these horses.  When the amount of feed exceeds 1.5% of the horse’s body weight, it should be divided and fed in 3 or more feeding per day.

Do not feed Wellness SENIOR MIX on a free choice basis.  Feed at regular times, with two or more equal feedings per day.  Make all feed changes gradually, over a 7 – 10 day period.  Increases in feeding rate should not exceed 1 pound per day for an individual horse.  Delay feeding a horse that has just been exercised or is exhibiting pain, fever or diarrhea. Wellness SAFE SENIOR weighs approximately 1.6 pounds per dry US quart.  Feed hay and/or equivalent pasture at the rate of 1 to 2 pounds per 100 pounds of body weight daily.  Provide a free choice horse mineral such as Seminole Grass Balancer 16:8 Mineral or Alfa Balancer 12:12 Mineral on continuous basis.  Provide clean, fresh water at all times.
