 * This is the recommended minimum amount of hay to be fed. If feeding more hay, reduce the feeding rate of Equine Senior® Active horse feed by 1.0 lb for every additional 2.0 lbs of hay fed.
 ** Do not feed less than 0.3 lbs per 100 lbs of body weight per day. If your horse gains too much weight at that minimum feeding rate, then you should replace Equine Senior® Active horse feed with Purina® Strategy® Healthy Edge® horse feed or a Purina® Ration Balancing Feed.

A 4 lb meal of Equine Senior® Active Horse Feed supplies a full serving of Outlast® Supplement.

 

Caution

Follow label directions: feeding added selenium at levels in excess of 0.3 ppm in the total diet is prohibited.
