Standlee Premium Western Forage Alfalfa Pellets are made from high-quality sun-cured forage formed into ¼ inch hay pellets that are easy to measure and feed. Standlee Alfalfa hay is high in protein to support active and growing horses and low in carbohydrates, making it an excellent option for carb-sensitive animals.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR FEEDING
Forage is the most important component of a horse's diet and should be fed at a rate of 1.5-2.5% of a horse's body weight. Gradually replace existing hay with Standlee over a seven to fourteen (7-14) day period.
For increased hydration, aggressive eaters, or horses with dental issues, pellets are recommended to be fed wet, soaked in water (2 parts water to 1 part pellets) for 30 min. or until properly softened. Standlee recommends that pelleted forage is not the sole source of forage for horses since feeding some long-stem forage may help eliminate boredom and prevent stall vices.
