RECOMMENDATIONS FOR FEEDING Forage is the most important component of a horse's diet and should be fed at a rate of 1.5-2.5% of a horse's body weight. Gradually replace existing hay with Standlee over a seven to fourteen (7-14) day period. Chopped Forage is a high-quality forage that has been cut into approximately 2-4" pieces. If chopped forage is utilized as the sole forage source, feed at a rate of 1.5-2% of a horse's body weight per day. Chopped hay is designed to allow for an easy transition; however, to minimize digestive upset, we recommend gradually replacing existing hay with the same weight of Standlee forage over a seven to fourteen (7-14) day period to help your animal's digestive system. SUPPLEMENTING HAY WITH STANDLEE FORAGE For consistent, optimal nutrition we recommend feeding 100% Standlee forage. However, you can supplement current hay for enhanced nutrition.
