Can to much protein kill a horse?
Most common horse feeds range from 8-24% protein. High protein content feed, (like alfalfa hay) is generally not detrimental as long as the horse has normal kidney function and access to adequate water. Too much protein, therefore, is relative to the condition of the animal.
Which food or grain is the most healthy for horses?
It all depends on your horses amount of exercise and their current weight. There are all sorts of different grains and types of hay. If your horse is a easy keeper (does not loose weight or gain weight easily, usually stays at the same weight) you should feed him/her plain grass hay with limited grain. If your horse is involved in any sort of competition and is usually working in some way you would be better off feeding him/her alfalfa with grain like Purina Performance Horse feed. If your horse is older you could feed them something like John Lyons or Purina Senior Horse feed. It all just depends on what your horse is like to suite horse horses own personal needs feed wise.

What is a source of protein for a horse?
Hay: There is protein in most hays, the highest are (in order) alfalfa, timothy, and orchard grass. Grain: When you buy a standard pelleted grain, there's a percentage in front of it. That percentage is protein. For example, a decent (and relatively inexpensive) grain would be a 12% all stock pellet. The all stock indicates it's safe for any stock animal. (horses, cows, pigs, ect) Keep in mind that more protein (and thus the percentage at the beginning of the name) does NOT indicate better grain.

How much does it cost to feed an Arabian horse per month?
This answer varies greatly depending on where you live. If you live somewhere that you horse can live on pasture and rarely have to feed hay, then it is going to be a lot cheaper to feed your horse than if you lived somewhere that had snow most of the year (and therefore, you are feeding each horse at least 4 flakes of hay per day).Not only that, but it also depends on if you need to feed your horse grain or not. Horses that are just pasture ornaments do not need as much grain as horses who are being ridden heavily.And then of course, you have to take into consideration supplements as well. Horses who are on supplements have a more expensive feeding cost than those that are not.If you are looking to see how much your horse's feed costs in a month, you can use the calculator below found in the "Related Links" section.To figure out the monthly cost of hay:Take the number of flakes you feed your horse in a day and multiple it by 30 (days in a month). Take that number and divide it buy the number of flakes in a bale of your hay and then multiply that final number by the price you pay per bale of hay.Example: You feed your horse 4 flakes of hay a day and your bales have 8 flakes of hay in them. You pay $1.50 a bale for hay.[(4x30)/8][$1.5] = 22.5For safety purposes, it's safe to say that your horse eats about $25 a month in hay. Just remember that usually in the summer you would be able to feed less hay and in the winter you feed more hay -- so that's just an average.For calculating grain prices:Take the number of pounds of grain that you feed your horse and multiply it by 30. Take that number and divide it by the weight of the bag of grain (usually in pounds) and then multiply it by the price per bag. This formula has to be done for EACH kind of feed that you give and then the prices are added together for a final "grain price"Example: You feed your horse .5lbs of sweet feed ($25/bag) and .5lbs of higher concentrate feed ($30/bag) twice a day. (That's 1lb sweet/1lb energy per day)Sweet feed: [(1x30)/50][$25] = $15Energy feed: [(1x30)/50][$30] = $18Total: $33/monthAnd for supplements, calculations can very greatly depending on if you feed your supplements from a container or if you feed them pre-measured (like in SmartPaks).
