Platform Senior Feed

Platform Senior Horse Feed provides superior nutrition to horses whose ability to absorb essential nutrients has diminished with age. Platform Senior may be fed with or without hay or pasture. It is rich in easily-chewed, highly digestible fiber with 14% high quality protein and 6% fat and contains easily-absorbed vitamins and minerals to meet older horses needs. No additional grain, sweet feed, pellets or vitamin/mineral supplements are needed.

Directions:

Feed Platform Senior Horse Feed as a complete feed (no additional forage is required) at the rate of 1.25 to 1.75 lbs per 100 lbs of body weight, adjusting the amount fed depending on the body condition desired and activity level of the horse. A good quality hay may be fed with the above feed (reduce amount of Platform Senior Horse Feed by about 1 lb for each 2 lbs of hay fed) or a good quality pasture made available. The feeding quantities of both hay and complete feed should be adjusted according to the activity level of the horse and the desired body condition. Plenty of clean, fresh water should be provided at all times.
