Determine the weight and work level of your horse. To find out how much your horse weighs, you can purchase a weight tape (a special Answers.com that goes around your horses barrel). Weight tapes are available at most tack and feed stores. While weight tapes are not totally accurate, they are good enough for this application. You will also need to determine how often your horse is worked, and for how long.
Never worked = maintenance, 1-3 times a week for 30-60 minutes = light work, over 3 times a week or for more than 60 minutes a day = moderate to high work. Additionally horses that are growing, pregnant, lactating (nursing a baby), used for breeding, horses that live outside in cold weather or senior horses will have higher nutritional needs.
Step 2Horses that are rarely ridden or only used lightly will need to eat about 1.5 to 2 percent of their body weight each day. EXAMPLE - for an average 1000 pound horse that is ridden 2 days a week, that will mean feeding 15 to 20 pounds of food a day. Usually a horse that is not worked hard will only need hay, but occasionally these horses will need a pound or two of grain in addition to the hay. Horses that are worked moderately will usually need 2.0 to 2.5 percent of their body weight - for a 1000 pound horse that will be 20 to 25 pounds of food, and 1-4 pounds of that food might be grain. A horse that is used heavily or for breeding might require as much as 20 to 30 pounds of food a day, including 5 to 8 pounds of grain. No matter how much you feed your horse per day, you should always break in up into 2-3 smaller meals per day, as horses are grazers and they are used to eating small, frequent meals.
Step 3The various types of hay and grain are too numerous to cover here, but your local feed store will be happy to show you what they carry and give you suggestions. As you start you horse on a new feeding plan, always switch foods gradually, adding a little more of the new food each day and a little less of the old food. This will prevent your horse from colicking or going off his food. Usually it will take 4 to 6 weeks to see results in your horse. If you are feeding you horse an adequate amount of food and he still isn't gaining weight (or loosing weight) you will need to check for other issues such as health, dental, and social issues.
It depends on the type of horse feed. However, a general rule of thumb is that 1 quart of horse feed weighs approximately 1.25 pounds. So, 8 quarts of horse feed would weigh around 10 pounds.
1 US quart = 32 US fluid ounces Hope that helps! ~Juls08~

a pint equals a pound, and a pint equals half of a quart. (a pound equals half of a quart)
There are 0.565 quarts of rice in 1 pound. Rice is a grain and one of the most widely consumed foods by the human population.
That will feed approximately 120 people.
How many quarts you need to feed 50 people depends on what you are making, and if there will be other foods. If there are other foods, you should figure four ounces per person. There are 32 ounces in a quart so each quart will feed eight people. Therefore, you would need a little over six quarts to feed 50 people.
Exactly 1/2 quart
1 pound
They say to allow about 1/2 pound of meat per person. A 6 pound ham should feed 12 people and an 8 pound ham should feed about 16 people.
