Horses can consume
approximately 2% to 2.5% of their body weight in dry
feed each day. Horses can consume approximately 2% to
2.5% of their body weight in dry feed each day.
Therefore, a 1,000 lb (450 kg) adult horse could eat up
to 25 pounds of food. Foals less than six months of age eat 2 to 4% of their weight each day. Solid feeds are placed into three categories: forages (such as hay and grass), concentrates (including grain or pelleted rations), and supplements (such as prepared vitamin or mineral pellets). Equine nutritionists recommend that 50% or more of the animal's diet by weight should be forages. If a horse is working hard and requires more energy, the use of grain is increased and the percentage of forage decreased so that the horse obtains the energy content it needs for the work it is performing. However, forage amount should never go below 1% of the horse's body weight per day |
