COUNTRY COMPANION ALFALFA CUBES:
- Sun-cured, USA-grown western forage
- 15% protein for growth & maintenance
- Consistent quality nutrition for active horses
- Designed to be fed to both horses and cattle
- Alfalfa cubes in a 50 lb. (22.67 kg.) bag, 25% more than a 40 lb. bag
- Horses should be fed 1.5%–2% of body weight in hay per day. See table below for other species. This amount may vary depending on the specific animal’s nutritional needs. Feed by weight not volume. Weigh the amount of forage provided to each animal to ensure you are feeding the proper amount and be sure that you are subtracting the weight of the container.
- Alfalfa cubes can be soaked in water to soften for 30 minutes or until properly softened and fed wet to animals with dental issues, those that aggressively feed, or those prone to choke.
- Gradually replace existing hay with Country Companion forage over a 7–10 day period as to not upset the digestive system. Replace existing hay on a 1 to 1 basis with Country Companion Forage.
- Long-stemmed hay is needed for normal digestion. Feeding some long- stem forage (hay) may help eliminate boredom and prevent stall vices.
- Never feed moldy, or insect infested hay to animals.
- Fresh, clean water should be available at all times.
- If you have questions or for other health or nutrition concerns, please consult your veterinarian or nutritionist.
