What can you learn from a list of ingredients?
All of the ingredients in a feed will be listed on the feed tag under the ingredients list. Ingredients are listed in descending order from the greatest amount to least amount. Typically you will find grains and/or fiber sources listed first, because they are included in larger amounts, followed by minerals and vitamins that are added in small quantities.

Guaranteed analysis of minerals and vitamins.
When reviewing the guaranteed analysis for mineral and vitamin content, remember: more isn’t always better. Minerals and vitamins need to be feed at proper levels, and in some cases in specific ratios. Concentrates are formulated to meet a horse’s needs at specific ages or stages of life. Some feeds are formulated to contain minerals and vitamins that complement specific types of forages, such as alfalfa hay or grass hay. This will be listed on the label.

What does the guaranteed analysis really tell you?
If you have looked at a feed tag you have seen a guaranteed analysis (GA) of nutrients. It is full of minimums and maximums, crude this and that, and lots of numbers. But what does the GA really tell you about the feed you are considering for your horse? A lot!

The purpose statement
Long gone are the days of feeding every horse in the barn a scoop of oats and a flake of hay. Decades of equine nutrition research have shown us that not all horses can or should be fed in the same manner. Life stages, workload, and overall health dictate the nutrients required by each individual horse.

What’s in a name?
Feed manufacturers are required by law to put the name of a feed on each feed tag. The name should describe the type of feed contained in the bag. In many cases you may find a brand name and a descriptive name, for example, LovingCare™ complete pellets.
