The brood
mare in the last trimester of pregnancy, and the young growing horse
have special nutritional requirements. Equine 16 has the proper balance
of energy, protein, and nutrients to meet these requirements and achieve
consistent bone and muscle development in the young growing horse.
Feeding Equine 16 to the nursing mare will also insure maximum milk
production while maintaining a positive energy balance to reduce weight
loss and rebreeding problems.
Equine 16 utilizes the latest
research in equine nutrition to form a complete and well balanced
diet when fed with good quality forage. Energy dense and highly digestible,
Equine 16 is formulated with more of the nutrients today’s horses
require for growth, training and competition.
Oats - provide
a readily available carbohydrate energy source with built in
fiber for safer grain feeding.
Soy Oil - increases the energy density
of the diet without starch overload while maintaining
desired body condition of active horses.
Stabilized rice bran - provides
high fat and fiber content to maintain energy without the high-starch
hyperactivity.
Biotin - for healthy hoof development.
Lysine - added
for improved protein utilization.
Organic trace minerals - improved
biological availability enhances the immune system, improving
overall health, especially during the stresses of performance and
competition.
Complete vitamin and mineral fortification - eliminates
the need for additional supplements.

Equine 16 formula is designed to be fed with free
choice hay or pasture when available or as a complete diet along with
plenty of fresh, clean water and free-choice salt.
The amount fed should
be adjusted to the condition of the horse and the quality of the hay
or pasture available.
Do not mix Equine 16 with oats or
other feeds as this will dilute the desirable levels of key nutrients.
Divide
the total lbs. of feed required into 2 or more feedings per day and
maintain a regular feeding program. Do not feed more than 0.5% of
body weight at one feeding.
Always change feeds gradually over a two
week period.
Measure feed by weight instead of by volume.
Store Equine 12
in a cool dry place, and never feed any feed that is moldy.
