Optimum Equine Feed

Probiotics

• Total Active Bacterial & Yeast Probiotics: 750,000,000 cfu/lb.

Contains sources of viable digestive microorganisms shown below:

• Total Active Yeast: min 375,000,000 cfu/lb. From: Saccharomyces Cerevisiae Boulardi CNCM 1-1079, Saccharomyces Cerevisiae CNCM 1-1077.
• Total Active Bacteria: min 375,000,000 cfu/lb. From: Enterococcus Faecium, Lactobacillus Acidophilus, Lactobacillus Casei, Bifidobacterium Thermophilum, Bacillus Subtilis, Lactobacillus Casei, Lactobacillus Plantarum, Lactobacillus Fermentum.

Enzymes

• Alpha-Amylase (Aspergillus oryzae) min 410 FAU/lb.
  Enzyme function: Hydrolyzes (breaks down) starch.
  One FAU unit will dextrinize soluble starch at 1 gram/hour at 30°C, pH 4.8.
• Cellulase (Trichoderma longibrachiatum) min 52 CMCU/lb.
  Enzyme function: Breaks down cellulose.
  One carboxymethyl cellulose unit (CMCU) liberates one micromole of reducing sugar (as glucose equivalents) per minute at pH 4.5 and 40°C.
• Protease (Aspergillus oryzae, Bacillus subtilis) min 410 HUT/lb.
  Enzyme function: Hydrolyzes (breaks down) amino acid proteins.
  One HUT unit produces a hydrolysate with the same absorbance at 275 nm as a solution containing 1.10 ug/ml tyrosine in 0.006N HCL.

Feed amounts shown below per 100 lbs. of body weight daily.

• Divide daily feed into two equal feedings.
• Light Work & Maintenance: Feed 0.5 to 1 lbs. per 100 lbs.
• Moderate Work & Pregnant Mares: Feed 0.7 to 1 lbs per 100 lbs
• Intense Work, Growth, Late Lactation: Feed from 0.9 to 1.15 lbs. per 100 lbs. body weight daily.
• Feeding Hay or Forage: Horses should receive hay and/or pasture forage daily at a minimum of 1.50% of their body weight.
• Always offer clean fresh water.
• Offer salt free choice as loose salt, salt blocks or salt bricks.
• Increase or decrease the amount fed daily to achieve the condition desired.
• Do not use feed that is old, musty, or molded & DO NOT FEED TO SHEEP.
