{"product_id":"purina-miniature-horse-and-pony-feed","title":"Purina Miniature Horse \u0026 Pony Feed","description":"\u003cp\u003eGive the smallest members of the herd a ration that respects their efficient metabolism with Purina Miniature Horse and Pony Feed. Minis and ponies get more out of every mouthful than a full-size horse does, so a standard grain often puts weight on faster than anyone wants. This pelleted and extruded 13.5 percent protein feed keeps calories moderate while still supplying complete protein, vitamins and minerals for growth, gestation, lactation, breeding and the show ring. Controlled starch and sugar plus added fat and fiber make it a sensible pick for small equines that are sensitive to soluble carbohydrates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSized for small equines:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moderate calories help minis and ponies hold condition without tipping into obesity.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eControlled starch and sugar:\u003c\/strong\u003e 11 percent starch and 7 percent sugar maximums suit horses sensitive to soluble carbohydrates.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutlast gastric support:\u003c\/strong\u003e Formulated in to support gastric health and proper pH.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAmplify high-fat nugget:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stabilized rice bran, flaxseed and vegetable oils maintain body condition, shine and bloom.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHighly digestible fibers:\u003c\/strong\u003e Beet pulp and other fiber sources release fuel slowly for steady energy.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNo supplement needed:\u003c\/strong\u003e Supplies 100 percent of required protein, vitamins and minerals when fed as directed with forage and salt.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFeeding Directions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFeed with a minimum of 1 to 1.2 lb of clean hay or equivalent pasture per 100 lb of body weight. A 300 lb mini at maintenance starts near 1.3 lb per day, moves to about 2 lb in light work and 2.7 lb in moderate work; a 500 lb pony runs about 2.1 lb at maintenance, 3.3 lb in light work and 4.5 lb in moderate work. Mares take roughly 1.3 lb per day at 300 lb in early gestation and 2 lb in late gestation, with lactating mares closer to 4.4 lb when fed separately. Weaned foals, yearlings and two-year-olds follow their own charts, generally 0.6 to 5.4 lb per day depending on size and age. Keep the daily amount at 0.3 lb per 100 lb of body weight or above, and when you add hay, trim the feed by half a pound for each extra pound of hay offered. Serve meals on a schedule, splitting the day into two feedings or ideally three, using a wide trough set no higher than the animal's natural grazing height. Free-choice feeding is not appropriate. Ease into the new ration across a week to ten days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCaution:\u003c\/strong\u003e Store in a dry, well-ventilated area protected from rodents and insects. Do not feed moldy or insect-infested feed to animals, as it may cause illness, performance loss or death. Delay feeding a horse that is hot, excited, in pain, feverish or scouring, and reach out to your veterinarian if problems appear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eGuaranteed Analysis\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCrude Protein (Min.) 13.50%\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLysine (Min.) 0.80%\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCrude Fat (Min.) 4.50%\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCrude Fiber (Max.) 18.00%\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAcid Detergent Fiber, ADF (Max.) 23.00%\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNeutral Detergent Fiber, NDF (Max.) 39.00%\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDietary Starch (Max.) 11.00%\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSugars (Max.) 7.00%\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCalcium (Min.) 0.80% \/ (Max.) 1.30%\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePhosphorus (Min.) 0.65%\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCopper (Min.) 75 ppm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSelenium (Min.) 0.60 ppm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eZinc (Min.) 270 ppm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVitamin A (Min.) 3,000 IU\/lb\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVitamin E (Min.) 125 IU\/lb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Purina (Purina Animal Nutrition)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAnimal:\u003c\/strong\u003e Miniature horses and ponies at every life stage\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eForm:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pelleted and extruded\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFeed type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Concentrate, fed with hay or pasture\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProtein:\u003c\/strong\u003e 13.5 percent minimum\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIngredients:\u003c\/strong\u003e Look to the feed tag on the bag for ingredients, which Purina adjusts by manufacturing plant and region.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 50 lb bag\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct sheet:\u003c\/strong\u003e Available under Documentation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eStop in at Garoppo's for Miniature Horse and Pony feed, or schedule it onto our next local delivery run.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Purina","offers":[{"title":"50 LB","offer_id":56033990770980,"sku":"13423","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0968\/5322\/9860\/files\/purina-miniature-horse-and-pony-feed-50-lb-bag-front_09426766-c20d-42f1-8dca-157d07158380.png?v=1787158088","url":"https:\/\/garoppos.com\/products\/purina-miniature-horse-and-pony-feed","provider":"Garoppo's Stone \u0026 Garden Center and Feed \u0026 Pet Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
