When feeding the average 1000 lbs. horse Sweet Feed you would feed 1lb. per 100lb. of body weight per day. At $7.25 a bag this would be $1.45 a day. With no additional vitamin mineral supplement that is needed with most sweet feeds. |
|
This is how you figure it.
$7.25 / 50Lbs = $0.145 per pound Now if you feed 1lb of feed per 100lbs of body weight then you: 1000lbs / 100lbs = 10lbs a day Next you: 10lbs per day x $0.145per lb.=$1.45 a day |
|
Then you add an additional $0.80 a day for your average vitamin supplement, and that brings you to $2.25 per horse per day. Then add another $0.61 a day for your average biotin supplement. This brings you to $2.86 per horse per day. |

When feeding the average 1000 lbs. horse TM Equine 14 you would feed .5lbs. of feed per 100lbs of body weight per day. At approximately $15.00 (varies with dealer) this would be $1.50 a day. No additional vitamin mineral supplements are needed when feeding TM Equine 14. |
|
You figure this the same way.
$15.00 / 50lbs = $0.30 per pound Now if you feed 1/2 lb of feed per 100lbs of body weight then you: 1000lb / 100lb=10x.5=5lbs per day Next you: 5lbs. Per day x $0.30per pound = $1.50 a day |

No vitamin or mineral supplements needed!!! |

The amounts in this research are for 1000lbs. maintenance horses. Amounts will vary due to the stress, exercise levels and breeding status of your horse. If you are feeding to increase the weight of your horse you may have to feed more until desired weight is reached. This research is with the assumption you are supplying adequate forage, water, and that your horse is in good health.
***Always follow label instructions.*** ***Check your scoops weight.*** ***Feed by weight not volume.*** |
