Mostly forage Some concentrate
Good Forage More Concentrate
Meeting Those Requirements

Nutrient Sources
Forage – as hay Commercial Concentrates Additional Supplemental feeds: fats and oils? other supplements?

For the Race Horse
Quality hay free of mold and dust high nutrient value palatable

For the Race Horse
Concentrate commercial feeds form of the feed formulated for the performance horse cereal based fortified
