Hi, I am just finishing a nutritional course and wondered if any of you would be kind enough to answer a few questions for me :)

1) Do you know how much your horse weighs?

2) Do you feed per scoop or by weight?

3) Do you feed the amount that it recommends on the bag?

4) Do you weigh your hay / haylage?


Many many thanks in advance for everyone's help :):)

I have no idea why it keeps telling my msg is too short so im typing this....
 
1) yes, roughly - using a weigh tape
2) A bit of both, i work out what weight i need and how that corresponds to the scoop size
3) Not currently
4) yes
 
1) Do you know how much your horse weighs? No, I use an estimated weight based on his height and build.

2) Do you feed per scoop or by weight? I know how much a scoop of feed weighs approximately so both!

3) Do you feed the amount that it recommends on the bag? No I feed what was recommended by the manufacturer when I contacted them with my horses details

4) Do you weigh your hay / haylage? No
 
1. Only via a weigh tape.

2. Only has a tiny handful of chaff enough to put a vit supplement in. So no not weighed or scooped.

3. vitamin supplement recommended daily amount. Chaff no, see #2.

4. When my mare was stabled at night I would weigh the hay. Now we have moved to out 24/7 no.

1) Do you know how much your horse weighs?
roughly, weight taped him and we had a big guess his weght type thing for wormers
2) Do you feed per scoop or by weight?
by handful but I now have a handful sized mini scoop
3) Do you feed the amount that it recommends on the bag?
no he would be the size of a house!!
4) Do you weigh your hay / haylage?
no go by sections and how much it feels and looks like

hope that helps :)
 
1) Do you know how much your horse weighs?
Yes, periodically use a weight tape on them all.

2) Do you feed per scoop or by weight?
By the scoop ONLY after i have weighted each feed out and figured out what weight each scoop takes of the different feeds. I have different sized scoops for the different feeds/ponies/horses.

3) Do you feed the amount that it recommends on the bag?
No, amend it to what i feel they need - by judging their condition and how they are in themselves... Normally i end up feeding less than the bag advises, but the bag doesnt know what other chaffs etc you may also be using.

4) Do you weigh your hay / haylage?
Not that often, i am pretty good at judging them as have mutiple horses and have been doing them for far too many years!
 
1) Yes, if you count a weight tape as accurate!

2) Balancer per scoop, chaff by handfuls depending on condition, time of year, grass etc

3) Balancer yes, chaff no - he'd be eating 4 giant scoops of hi-fi a day if I did, and currently only has a double handful twice a day

4) No, basically ad lib all winter down to zero in summer when out at good grass.
 
1) Do you know how much your horse weighs?
I use a weight tape

2) Do you feed per scoop or by weight?
Scoop

3) Do you feed the amount that it recommends on the bag?
Depends on feed/What I think etc.

4) Do you weigh your hay / haylage?
Nope, I generally give ad-lib but change depending on their condition
