Description
Earn a nicker every time you walk down the aisle with Purina Nicker Makers Horse Treats. These bite-sized extruded nuggets carry a hint of molasses and a firm crunch that adult horses learn to recognize by sound alone, and the recipe is balanced to complement the feed already in the tub. Reach for one to catch a reluctant horse, to end a schooling session on a good note, or simply to spoil the one who has earned it. The 3.5 lb pouch closes back up between uses, so it lives comfortably in a tack trunk or trailer.
Key Features
- Bite-sized and crunchy: Extruded nuggets are easy to feed and easy for an adult horse to chew — no breaking a biscuit in half at the gate.
- Hint of molasses: Highly palatable flavor and texture horses recognize immediately.
- Nutritionally balanced: Built to complement any horse feed rather than compete with it, with 0.30% minimum lysine.
- Higher fat, lower fiber: 6% minimum crude fat and 7% maximum crude fiber give the nugget its dense, crunchy bite.
- Fortified: Guaranteed vitamin A, vitamin E, zinc, copper, and selenium.
- For adult horses: A reward, not a ration — use alongside forage and feed.
Feeding Directions
Feed as a reward or treat to adult horses. Do not feed free-choice, and do not substitute treats for any part of the daily ration. Offer each nugget flat on an open palm or drop it into the feed tub. Keep fresh water and good-quality forage available at all times.
Caution: Use only as directed. Do not use as a sole diet. Present each treat to the horse in an appropriate manner. Feeding added selenium at levels in excess of 0.3 ppm in the total diet is prohibited.
