Equine have specialized digestive systems different from most other species. To accommodate this special need, SGI has developed an ‘Equine Special Blends’ program.
By blending highly-digestible fodder with premium quality pellets equine owners can reduce or eliminate most grain supplements and achieve the ultimate balanced diet to eliminate colitis, ulcers and many digestion and weight control problems.
In coordination with veterinarians and nutritionists, owners can formulate the most effective blend of Fodder, Forage, Pasture and Supplements to keep horses in peak condition.
EXAMPLE of "Perfect Equine Blend" Daily/Monthly Ration Cost -
A 1000 lb. horse is fed a ration of 2.5% of body weight = 25 lbs/day (15 lbs. Fodder + 10 lbs. of Forage)
*(Fodder & Forage ration % can be adjusted to meet energy requirements based on age, activity and condition.)
Cost of 15 lbs. of Fodder (15 X $.10/lb.) = $1.50
Cost of 10 lbs. of Pellets (10 X $.40/lb.) = $4.00
