How do you feed your supplements?

It's never really occurred to me before, but if feeding guidelines recommended 2 scoops per day, I would feed one at breakfast and one at dinner. For no other reason than I find it easier to remember to put it in if I do it in every feed.
Yesterday I bought dome Dodson and Horrell Itch Free which for my size horse recommends 2 1/2 scoops per day. BUT if I were to split this ( which for one would be difficult to feed 1 1/4 scoops!) but more to the point would he be recieving enough of a dose at a time to make a difference ?
Do you tend to split the recommended dose between feeds? Or feed all in one for maximum benefit ?
 
Good idea! Haha. Was just asking across the board though. Not specifically D&H. I used science supplements Flexability and split the dose on that too. I just wondered if others did the same ?
 
I almost always split supplements into 2 or 3 daily doses depending on how frequently my horse is being fed; it's the only practical way for me as I bag up pre-made dry feeds in advance and the yard can therefore just pick up the 'next' bag to feed, without worrying whether it's a morning, lunch or evening feed.
