Equine
Nutrition for
Performance Horses
 “OTB”
14% Sweet Horse Ration
is formulated
for horses in performance levels of training and conditioning. It is designed to provide adequate
protein to horses along with a balanced amino acid ratio for the
horse to ensure all essential amino acids are supplied.
The 14% Sweet Horse
ration also has organic zinc, copper, cobalt and manganese which are
readily absorbed through the digestive tract wall into the
bloodstream. Zinc and copper have a high degree of bio-availability
to stimulate healthy hoof growth. Biotin also promotes healthy
hoof growth.
How much should I feed?
“OTB”
14% Sweet Horse Ration should be fed
according to the amount of training per day.
Maintenance
(No training) 2.2 –
6.5 lbs/ day (1100 lb horse)*
Light
Training (1 – 4 hours) 4.5–10
lbs/day (1100 lb horse)*
* The risk of metabolic
problems for the horse can be avoided if the horse is fed more than
once a day.

mineral with chelated copper, manganese, zinc and cobalt like the

horses since they are still growing
