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.
Second-cutting hay typically provides an optimum level of nutrients for horses, but quality is very dependent on when and how the hay is harvested. An average miniature horse weighs 200 pounds and should receive at least 2 to 4 pounds of forage a day. Look for a fine, soft, leafy hay rather than a coarse, mature hay. Feed at least one-third to one-half of a flake of a good quality grass or alfalfa-grass mixed hay twice a day. Flakes of hay can vary greatly by thickness; a normal flake should be 1Â½ to 2 inches thick. When dividing the flake of hay, put it over the horseâs feed pan so that any chaff will fall into the feed pan.
