Premium Alfalfa Pellets:
Standlee recommends feeding Alfalfa Pellets to growing and performance horses, and pregnant and lactating mares. Alfalfa forage is high in protein and digestible energy, and supports hind gut health. Pellets are a convenient, easy-to-measure feed option and can contribute positively to the overall digestive health of your animal.
Feeding Instructions:
Forage is the most important component of a horse's diet and should be fed at a rate of 1.5-2.5% of a horse's body weight. Gradually replace existing hay with Standlee over a seven to fourteen (7-14) day period.
Feeding Recommendations:
For increased hydration, aggressive eaters, or horses with dental issues, pellets are recommended to be fed wet, soaked in water (2 parts water to 1 part pellets) for 30 min. or until properly softened. Standlee recommends that pelleted forage is not the sole source of forage for horses since feeding some long-stem forage may help eliminate boredom and prevent stall vices. if you have questions contact the nutritionists at Standlee or consult your veterinarian.
Feeding Tips:
- Weigh the amount of forage provided to each horse to ensure you are feeding the proper amount
- Feeding some long-stem forage (hay) may help eliminate boredom and prevent stall vices
- Never feed moldy or insect ingested forage to horses
- Always provide free-access to fresh, clean water
