The recommendations provided are intended as a guide only. The amount fed will vary according to the horse’s condition and the quality of pasture and/or roughage available. Barastoc Low GI Cube can be used to supplement grazing and/or high quality roughage to not more than one half of the horse’s daily feed intake by weight. Introduce this feed gradually over a two week period. Intake less than the levels listed may require additional vitamin and mineral supplementation. For horses or ponies with an estimated weight substantially below or above 500kg please consult Barastoc for a more detailed feeding rate and diet analysis.
