Nature’s Essentials^® Enrich 12^® Horse Feed

Feeding Recommendations:
Enrich 12^® Supplement is designed to complement and fortify high-quality forages. These types of forages are usually legume type but may include high-quality grass pasture or hays (protein content 18–24%). The feeding recommendations are based on the following assumptions: an expected mature weight of approximately 1,100 poundsa, the horse is consuming at least 2.0%b of its body weight in a high-quality hay or pasture (dry matter).

For horses that do not approximate this expected mature weight (such as miniature horses, ponies and draft horses), feeding rates for mature horses at maintenance can be estimated based on providing approximately 1/4 pound of Enrich 12^® Supplement with every 5 pounds of hay fed.

If feeding hay or pasture, provide a minimum of 1% of body weight in hay or the equivalent in pasture (approximately 30 lbs. of pasture would be required to equal 10 lbs. of hay on a dry matter basis).

Maintenance and Reproduction (based on 1100 pound mature)

Lifestyle	Enrich 12® (lbs/day)	(Hay lbs/day)
Horses at maintenance and broodmares through the 2nd trimester of gestation	1.0-2.0	22

Important Considerations: 

• Do not feed free-choice
• Feed at regular times (at least twice daily). When feeding rates exceed 1% of body weight, three daily feedings are preferred
• Any feed changes should be made gradually over a period of 7 to 10 days
• Changes in the rate of feeding should not exceed one pound per day for each horse
• Feed along with at least 1-1.5% of horse’s body weight of good quality hay or the equivalent in pasture to make a complete ration
• Have plenty of fresh, clean water available at all times
• Prevent the rapid eating by the horse of any feed stuffs
• Store feed in a dry, well-ventilated area protected from rodents and insects
• Do not feed moldy or insect-infested feed to animals as it may cause illness or death
• This product to be fed to the animal species as directed on the label
• In addition to nutritional care and consultation, be sure to make regular veterinary checkups and farrier appointments part of your horse wellness program
