FAQs

What is the recommended feeding amount?

Feeding amounts depend on the individual horse. Consult the feeding guidelines on the bag, and adjust based on workload, weight, and condition. Always provide adequate forage.

Is this feed suitable for laminitic horses?

While the low starch and sugar content is beneficial, always consult with your veterinarian before feeding to a horse with laminitis or a history of the condition. Monitor closely.

Can I feed this to a pregnant mare?

Consult with your veterinarian or equine nutritionist regarding the suitability of this feed for pregnant or lactating mares, as their nutritional needs are higher.

How long does a bag of Baileys No.8 last?

This depends on the amount fed daily and the number of horses being fed. Generally, a 15kg bag will last several days to weeks depending on usage.

What are the key ingredients?

Key ingredients include Oatfeed, Wheatfeed, Alfalfa Meal, Micronised Peas, Turmeric, and a mix of vitamins and minerals.

How should I store the feed?

Store the feed in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and pests. A sealed container is recommended.

Troubleshooting

Horse is not eating the feed.

Ensure that the feed is fresh. Introduce the feed gradually, mixing it with the horse's current feed. Try moistening the feed slightly to enhance palatability.

Horse is too energetic.

Reduce the amount of feed, or consider a feed with a lower energy content. Consult with a veterinarian or equine nutritionist.

Increase the amount of feed or consider a higher-calorie feed. Ensure the horse has access to good-quality hay and fresh water. Consult with a veterinarian to rule out underlying health issues.
