| Nutrena Youth� Continuous, rapid growth in the foal and yearling calls for a careful balance of energy, protein and minerals. Life Design� Youth horse feed provides that balance. This highly palatable feed encourages early consumption by foals to maintain energy, protein and mineral intake as the mare's milk declines prior to weaning. And since good nutrition also begins long before birth, the Youth formula also meets the increased nutrient requirements of the broodmare, particularly in the last third of gestation and during lactation. Features guaranteed levels of lysine and methionine, to allow efficient use of protein for growth and development calcium, phosphorus, copper and zinc for proper bone growth enhanced selenium and vitamin E levels to support immune response Guaranteed Analysis (min. amounts except where noted) Crude Protein 16% Lysine 0.8% Methionine 0.35% Crude Fat 4% Crude Fiber max. 7% Calcium min. 0.85%-max. 1.25% Phosphorus 0.7% Copper 60 ppm Zinc 180 ppm Selenium 0.5 ppm Vitamin A 5,000 IU/lb Vitamin D3 500 IU/lb Vitamin E 65 IU/lb Biotin 0.45 mg/lb Feeding Directions The following feeding directions are guidelines to maintain desired body condition and performance. Feeding rates need to be adjusted according to the horse's condition and training or competition schedule. Split the recommended level into two or more feedings each day. LB Feed Per 100lb Bodyweight Early Gestation/Maintenance 0.25 to 0.5 Late Gestation/Light Exercise/Breeding Stallions 0.75 to 1.0 Lactating Mares (Late Lactation, 3 Months to Weaning) / Moderate Exercise 1.0 to 1.5 Foals Creep Weanlings 0.5 to 1.25 Yearlings 0.75 to 1.5 Growing horses should not be fed to excess bodyweight. Adjust feeding rate to maintain desired rate of gain and body condition. Long yearlings/two-year-olds may be switched to Nutrena Life Design Compete or Life Design Prime, depending on desired growth rate and level of training or competition. Feed good, clean, quality hay or pasture equivalent at the rate of 1.0 to 1.75 lb per 100 lb bodyweight daily. Provide plenty of fresh, clean water at all times except to hot, tired horses. Horses should be cooled out properly before having access to unlimited water or being fed. Salt should be available free-choice. |
