If feeding more hay, reduce the feeding rate of IMPACT® PRO MARE & FOAL by 1 lb for every additional 2 lbs of hay fed. ****Do not feed less than 0.4 lbs per 100 lbs of body weight per day (for the mare). If your mare gains too much weight at that minimum feeding rate, then you should replace IMPACT® PRO MARE & FOAL with PURINA® STRATEGY® HEALHY EDGE or PURINA® ENRICH PLUS® Ration Balancing Horse Feed. Feeding recommendations are based on average daily requirements for horses of different body weights. Actual feeding rates required to adequately maintain good condition of individual horses will be affected by individual metabolism and other factors. Therefore, feeding rates may need to be gradually adjusted in some horses according to body condition. Caution Store in a dry, well-ventilated area protected from rodents and insects. Do not feed moldy or insect infested feed to animals as it may cause illness, performance loss or death. USE ONLY AS DIRECTED.
