Introducing EquiNectar® to Your Horse
EquiNectar® is highly palatable, and horses quickly develop a taste for it. We recommend a gradual introduction as follows:
Add EquiNectar® to feed twice daily. (If you feed only once per day, please contact us for adjusted feeding recommendations.)
- Days 1-3: 1 fl oz (one pump) twice daily
- Days 4-6: 2 fl oz (two pumps) twice daily
- Days 7-9: 3 fl oz (three pumps) twice daily
For small horses under 660 lbs in light work, start with the full feed rate of 2.5 fl oz twice daily.
From day 10 onwards, use the full feed rate based on your horse's weight and activity level, as detailed in the table below.
