Introducing Hay Cubes

• Gradually introduce soaked Hay Cubes into your horse’s diet over a 14 day period.
• Soak the hay cubes (1:1 ratio) in cold (1 hour) or warm (30 mins) water until properly softened.
• After 14 days you can reduce the water gradually to feed the hay cubes dry, or if your horse prefers, they can continue to be fed soaked.
• Offering Hay Cubes in smaller pieces as a treat allows horses and ponies to readily accept the alternative form.

Feeding Recommendations

• Always feed by weight not volume.
• Horses require a minimum of 1.5% of body weight (kg) of forage per day.
• For example 4.5kg per day for a 300kg pony or 7.5kg for a 500kg horse.
• Forage requirements depend on pasture availability, horse’s weight, age, size, condition and work level.
• Fresh drinking water should always be available.
• Consult a qualified nutritionist to develop a complete feeding plan specifically for your horse.

Storage

Like all stockfeeds, Hay Cubes must be stored in a cool, dry well ventilated area out of direct sunlight and protected from vermin.
