hay, grass, and pellets for horses
The best thing for horses is grass hay compared to cubes or pellets. Though I know horses who are doing fine on those things, horses digestive systems are meant to have that long stem forage pretty essential to their diet.
Horses get their nourishments from grass, hay, water, and a mineralized salt lick. They can also get grain or alfalfa cubes or pellets as treats as well.
Grass, hay, corn, sweetfeed, 12% pellets any of that kinda stuff.
no horses should eat varieties of food relevant in their diet
Herbivores- they eat forage such as grass and hay, and concentrates such as pellets or sweet feed, and succulents such as carrots and apples
Horses have a 4 chambered heart that is essentially like that of a human. Average weight for a 1000 pound horse is around 9 pounds.
NEVER feed mouldy hay to horses( or mouldy pellets, grains or chaff) Horses will usually tell you if the hay is mouldy(unless they are very hungry) but not wanting to eat it. Dont confuse mouldy hay with silage or haylage, but be verycareful feeding silage and haylage to horses.
Concentrates are non-forage food given to horses. Since forage includes hay and grass, Concentrates are grains, such as oats, corn, barley, beans, and pellets. Never feed more than 50% of a horses food in concentrates.
There is no one standard weight for pelleted horse feed. This is due to the size of the pellets, how moist they are and what is in them. Horses should be fed by weight and not by the scoop so it is best to weigh out one whole scoop on a scale to see how much your pelleted feed weighs.
