Golden Years Cube

GOLDEN YEARS (CUBE)
FOR THE SENIOR HORSE OR PONY
Net Weight: 25 kg Product #: 606112
Masterfeeds Golden Years has been a favourite amongst horse owners for their senior horses for many years. This high calorie very digestible cube is fortified with premium vitamins, added vitamin C, and contains a higher level of protein and lysine to maintain body condition on older horses. This palatable chunk encourages the horse to chew, which produces saliva and aids digestion. Older horses often drop their food, and the Golden Years Cube is much easier to pick up from the ground than a pelleted or texturized diet.

FEEDING DIRECTIONS*
Feed ½ to 1½ kg per 100 kg percent body weight along with good quality hay. As the horse ages, problems with their teeth will mean the forage component of their diet will gradually need to be replaced with processed crude fibres. Rx Roughage cubes or pellets are a great choice to add to the ration at increasing levels. The combination can be soaked to make it easier to consume. Closely monitor your older horse, his or her behaviour, body condition, feed intake, and whether he or she spits out balls of hay. Those are all indicators a change in ration and management is needed.
* Feeding rates may vary depending on forage quality and horse’s activity level.
