APPLICATION
- Base Diet: Begin with a foundation of high-quality forage, such as Timothy pellets, offered at a minimum of 1.5% to 2% of your horse's body weight daily. This ensures proper fiber intake and supports natural foraging behaviors. It is also recommended to soak Timothy pellets in water before feeding, using a ratio of 1 kg of pellets to 1-2 liters of water, and adjusting the soaking process to suit your horse's needs for optimal palatability and digestibility.
- Supplementation with Pellets: Complement the base forage with our premium Timothy pellets. Feed 0.5% to 1% of your horse's body weight daily, divided into multiple meals throughout the day to promote optimal digestion and nutrient absorption.
- Adjust for Activity Level: Adjust the amount of Timothy pellets based on your horse's activity level, body condition, and specific nutritional requirements. Horses engaged in moderate to heavy work may need a higher portion of pellets to meet their increased energy needs.
- Provide Fresh Water: Always ensure that your horse has access to clean, fresh water to support proper digestion, hydration, and overall health.
- Consult with a Nutritionist or Veterinarian: For personalized feeding recommendations that are tailored to your horse's unique needs, consult with a qualified equine nutritionist or veterinarian.
Store Timothy pellets in a cool, dry, and dark place, away from sunlight, to maintain their freshness and prevent spoilage. Follow any specific storage guidelines provided by the manufacturer to preserve quality.
