Hi,
I would like to know if anyone can tell me whether the following feed content sounds like a good combo for a distance horse? It is made by Purina and it is called "3583 Hi-Fat Hi-Fibre (Chunk)"
This is the guaranteed analysis on the label:
Crude Protein min. 13.0%; Crude Fat min. 6.0%; Crude Fiber max. 25.0%;
Sodium (Na) actual 0.2%; Calcium (Ca) actual 0.65%;
Phosphorous (P) actual 0.4%; Vitamin A min. 6,500 I.U./kg;
Vitamin D3 min. 1,200 I.U./kg; Vitamin E min. 220 I.U./kg
It is said to be for performance horses, show horses, breeding horses and yearlings. I was told that it was a good alternative to grain because "it doesn't make the horses so hot." So I am wondering if it could be a good feed for a ctr/endurance horse in the same "way" as beet pulp. I am thinking of contacting the manufacturer to find out exactly what is the source/ingredient which gives rise to the protein, fat and fibre content, but I was wondering if anyone had any initial comments, suggestions, etc. Thanks,
Lysane
