Horse

Amount of Feed (lbs./day)

Suckling foals

Allow 1 lb. per head per day per month of age. Actual feeding levels will vary with the milk supply available from the mare.

Creep feeding

Feed only what will be consumed in one day. Any leftover feed should be discarded and the amount of feed allotted should be reduced accordingly.

Weanlings

Feed 1 lb. per head per day per month of age.

This guideline is for horses with a mature body weight range of 1,100-1,300 lbs. (500-590 kg). The amount of feed given at any one time should be no more than 0.5% of the horse’s body weight. For example, a 1,000 lb. horse should be fed no more than 5 lbs. per feeding.

The quality of pasture and/or hay for very young horses is of particular importance. They should have access to only the best quality forage.

Free-choice salt and fresh, clean water should be available at all times. Do not feed additional proteins, vitamins or minerals unless instructed to do so by a qualified professional.

It is important to remember that each horse has individual feeding needs and that these needs may vary depending on season, hay quality, life stage and level of work. Do not feed additional proteins, vitamins or minerals unless instructed to do so by a qualified professional. Consult with your veterinarian or one of our nutritionists for specific dietary recommendations.

Their quality is excellent

“I have been using McCauley’s feeds for over 10 years on a variety of horses, from elite eventers to foxhunters, ponies, pleasure horses and retired horses. McCauley’s has products that provide nutrition for all these types and more. Their quality is excellent, and they truly care about the horse’s well-being. Plus, they are always available to answer questions and help provide solutions.”

An integral part of my horses’ health and careers

“McCauleys Feeds have been an integral part of my horses’ health and careers for a long time now and I couldn’t be happier! Their weight is easily manageable with all the different selections of feed and their skin and coats are as healthy and beautiful as they can get with the fortification that goes into each bag. I regularly have people ask me what I feed my horses because they’re so shiny and dappled.”

The secret weapon in our program

“McCauley’s Alam^® has been the secret weapon in our program, responsible for retraining and rehoming Thoroughbreds for the largest aftercare organization in the country. Whether our new arrivals have issues with ulcers or are off their grain, we have seen a miraculous difference in weight gain, behavior and appetite within a matter of weeks. We have previously tried every competitor’s grain with identical management and we see unwanted behaviors persist. In addition, despite feeding the manufacturer’s recommended amounts, desired weight gain has been slow. Alam^® provides our horses with cool energy and prepares them to step into their new jobs and excel, powered by the best formula on the market.”

The quality is the best on the market

“Any athlete knows that what we put into our bodies is massively important, not only for being able to perform at the highest levels, but also for recovery and repair — and the same goes for horses, of course. With McCauley’s I’ve been able to work with their nutritionists to tailor a different feeding plan for each horse. I believe the quality is the best on the market and it’s also one of the most cost-effective, mainly in that my horses would never dream of wasting it; they always run to their feed buckets to eat and that, in itself, is a huge selling point for me.”

I can’t imagine feeding anything else

“I have been a McCauley’s Feed customer for 20 years, and I can’t imagine feeding anything else. I run a busy retraining and boarding business with multiple young Thoroughbreds transitioning from racing to sport horse careers. With the great nutrition and expert advice from McCauley’s, these horses have changed from lean runners to beefy show horses with glossy coats and strong hoof growth. I also manage a handful of retirees and some insulin resistant horses. Having the vast variety in available feeds means I always know each horse is getting exactly what they need to thrive!”
