Although protein is listed as a percentage on feed tags, the National Research Councilâs (NRC) latest recommendation for horses lists the protein requirement unit in grams. To understand how much protein to feed a horse, we need to do some math and further reading.Many people think that a 30 percent protein feed is way too much for a horse to handle. If one looks a little closer, the tag of Hubbard Lifeâs 30% Supplement indicates that a 1,100-pound horse should consume one pound per day.Thirty percent of one pound is 136 grams of protein.verage mixed hay is about 17 percent protein. Feeding 15 pounds of hay alone can deliver 1,157 grams of protein to a horse. Understanding the protein content and feeding rates of all the feed sources a horse has access to is key to achieving the proper protein ratio.
Horses can use hay and other roughages as nutrient sources much more efficiently than other nonruminants such as poultry or pigs, although utilization is less efficient than in ruminants. Traditionally, it was stated that a good source of roughage should comprise at least 50% of the total equine ration by weight.It is now recommended that horses receive at least 1.5%â2% of their body weight in forage or forage substitutes such as hay cubes or other high-fiber source daily. 500-kg horse exercising for 1 hr in a hot environment will need to drink 72â92 L of water to replace sweat and evaporative losses. Lactating mares need 12â14 L per 100 kg body wt to sustain good health and milk production.
