The diet for futurity weanlings must be extremely palatable since they are being asked to eat large volumes of feed. The forage source should be a high quality mixed (alfalfa and grass) hay or a fine-stemmed alfalfa hay. Mixed hay is preferred because of the more ideal balance (ratio) of calcium to phosphorus.
What do you feed your yearling?
It also is recommended that your yearling have unlimited access to hay and pasture grasses as well as clean water. Yearlings can either be fed a grain that is designed specifically for young horses or they can be fed a general purpose horse grain that contains 2 to 3 percent protein and 1 to 3 percent fat.
What is the best food for foals?
- Provide high-quality roughage (hay and pasture) free choice.
- Supplement with a high-quality, properly-balanced grain concentrate at weaning, or earlier if more rapid rates of gain are desired.
