{"product_id":"purina-omega-match-ration-balancing-horse-feed","title":"Purina Omega Match Ration Balancing Horse Feed","description":"\u003cp\u003eSome horses get everything they need from green pasture. For the ones who cannot — the stalled show horse with limited turnout, the metabolic horse who has to stay off grass, the easy keeper on hay all winter — Purina Omega Match Ration Balancing Horse Feed fills the gap. This timothy-based pelleted balancer is built around the fatty acid and antioxidant profile of fresh grass, so a 2 lb daily meal covers protein, vitamin, and mineral requirements without the calories or soluble carbohydrates of a grain ration. Each pound supplies about the same omega-3 fatty acids as two hours of grazing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBalances omega fatty acid ratios:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stalled horses fed this balancer as their sole concentrate for 11 weeks developed omega fatty acid ratios similar to horses out on pasture.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLimited ingredient, timothy based:\u003c\/strong\u003e Formulated without soy, alfalfa, corn, wheat, and molasses for horses with sensitivities to those ingredients.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConcentrated fortification:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fills the protein, vitamin, and mineral gaps left by hay or unfortified grain at just 2 lbs per day for a mature horse.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNatural-source vitamin E plus biotin:\u003c\/strong\u003e The only vitamin E here is natural source, and a full serving delivers 15 mg of biotin to support hoof growth and repair.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eControlled starch and sugar:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7.50% maximum dietary starch and 5.00% maximum sugars produce a minimal glucose and insulin response.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutlast gastric support:\u003c\/strong\u003e A 2 lb meal supplies a full serving, supporting gastric health and proper stomach pH.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAmino acids that match pasture:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.80% lysine, 0.70% methionine, and 0.60% threonine mirror the protein quality of fresh grass.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFeeding Directions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFeed a mature 1,000 lb horse 2.0 lbs per day at maintenance or 2.5 lbs per day in light or moderate work, always alongside a minimum of 20 lbs of hay or equivalent pasture. Mares through the second trimester take 2.5 lbs per day. Growing horses need more: 4.0 to 5.0 lbs per day at 4 to 8 months, 3.0 to 4.0 lbs at 9 to 17 months, and 2.5 to 3.0 lbs at 18 to 24 months, with hay scaled to age. For horses well off the 1,000 lb mark, figure 0.2 to 0.4 lbs of balancer per 100 lbs of body weight per day. Feed at regular times in at least two meals, never free choice, and change feeds gradually over 7 to 10 days. Keep clean water and salt available at all times.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCaution:\u003c\/strong\u003e Follow label directions.
