Feeding Tips

◆ Start slowly by mixing a small amount of powder into the feed.
◆ Add the powder to the feed and dampen with water.
(Spray bottles can be helpful.) Shake the container to mix the
powder with the feed. This will also prevent the powder from
settling in the bottom of the feeding container.

◆ Mix with unsweetened applesauce and add to the horse’s feed or
syringe directly into the horse’s mouth.
◆ Add to a mash made of commonly found low-starch pelleted
feeds or soaked hay cubes.
