Purina® Enrich Plus® Ration Balancing

Purina

Horses need more nutrition than forage alone can provide.

Today’s horses are typically limited to a single type of forage in one geographic area. Pastures in the same area or even different sections of the same pasture can have inconsistent nutrient values. Unfortified grains such as straight oats and corn can also have variable amounts of protein, minerals and vitamins. So horses need your help to achieve the nutritional balance they once derived naturally.

Enrich Plus® is a concentrated, pelleted ration balancing horse feed that may be fed as a horse’s sole ration along with quality hay or pasture to provide the proper balance of protein, vitamins and minerals without unnecessary calories. It can also be fed with unfortified whole grains.

FEEDING DIRECTIONS WITH HAY OR PASTURE

Purina® Enrich Plus® Ration Balancing Horse Feed is designed to complement and fortify hay or pasture. For more specific guidance, contact your local Purina retailer or Purina Customer Service at 800-227-8941.

	Enrich Plus Ration Balancing Horse Feed	Minimum Hay or Equivalent Pasture
	(lbs/day)	(lbs/day)
Mature Horses^a
Maintenance	1.0	20
Light Work	1.5-2.5	20
Moderate Work^b	1.5-2.5	20
Mares through 2nd Trimester^c	1.0-2.0	20

Growth^d
4-8 months (400-700 lbs)	2.5-3.0	8-14
9-17 months (700-900 lbs)	2.0-2.5	14-18
18-24 months (900-1000 lbs)	2.0	18-20

a For horses that do not approximate this expected mature weight, feeding rates for mature horses at maintenance can be estimated based on 0.1-0.2 lbs Purina® Enrich Plus® Ration Balancer and 2.0 lbs hay or pasture per 100 lbs body weight per day.

b The additional calorie and nutrient demands of horses in more work may be better met by adding a grain or a Purina® product designed for performance horses.

c The additional calories needed during the last trimester of gestation and through lactation can be provided by adding a grain or a Purina® product designed for breeding and growing horses. For easy keeper mares in the third trimester, feed 0.2 lbs Purina® Enrich Plus® Ration Balancer per 100 lbs body weight per day.

d More rapid rates of growth can be achieved by adding grain to the diet. However, given the inherent nutritional inconsistencies of straight grain diets, more rapid rates of gain are more safely and successfully achieved by feeding a Purina® product designed for
growing horses.
