Bob would like to know if the feed is Purina, if you know off hand what the protein count is, and how much you feed to a 1000lb horse? Nothing like lots of questions first thing in the morning huh?

It is Purina, I believe HC 100 is 10% protein...HC also comes in 200, and 300 ...each one the protein goes up.
According to the package you feed 1 1/2 to 2 lbs of feed per 100lbs of horse...I have found it doesn’t take that much really, a lot depends on what the horse is doing. Even when I was conditioning horses, riding a lot, they very seldom need even the 1 1/2 ration amount. As you do, I believe a good worming routine is key to not having to feed so much. Worming properly saves money in the long run.
