* This is the recommended minimum amount of hay to be fed. If feeding more hay, you may reduce the feeding rate of Ultium® Senior Horse Formula to maintain appropriate body condition.
** To meet nutrient requirements, do not feed less than 0.3 lbs per 100 lbs of body weight per day for mature horses at maintenance (3 lbs per 1,000-lb horse). If your horse gains too much weight at that minimum feeding rate, transition to a ration balancing feed like Purina® Enrich Plus® ration balancer.
*** Feeding rates of Ultium® Senior Horse Formula and forage may be adjusted or feed may be top-dressed with Purina® Amplify® High-Fat Supplement for additional calories. Hard-working horses may also benefit from supplementation with Purina® SuperSport® Amino Acid Supplement.
A 4 lb meal of Ultium® Senior supplies a full serving of Outlast® gastric support technology.
