FEEDING GUIDELINES
Feeding horses correctly requires a good eye and careful monitoring of your horse’s individual needs, condition and behaviour. We therefore suggest you contact us directly for personalised feeding advice.
Contact Hannah Botha +27 73 423 5491 / Leigh Adams +27 83 998 6824 / Debbie Dick +27 76 755 5164The Gold Cup is designed to be fed alongside good quality hay and/ or pasture fed which should be fed at an absolute minimum of 1% of body weight per day (5kg for a 500kg horse). Providing the correct level of quality roughage will help to maintain gut health of the performance horse.
Always ensure the minimum roughage requirement is met and then adjust the amount of Gold Cup depending on need. It is recommended that 6-9kg be fed per day. Due to the higher starch levels provided in this product we strongly recommend meal sizes are kept to no more than 2.5kg per meal. This will reduce the risk of starch overflow into the hindgut which can increase the risk of conditions such as hindgut acidosis.
It is very important to ensure that the horse is fed the correct portion of food by weight, not by volume! All feeds have different densities and thus do not weigh the same. Therefore, it is very important to establish exactly what weight (kg) your scoop holds of the specific product you are feeding.
Always introduce any new feed or product over a period of 7-14days and ensure fresh water is always available .
