Feeding
Feeding Directions
Triple Crown Low Starch can be fed to all horses one year of age or older. Feed enough Triple Crown Low Starch to maintain desired body condition and energy level along with hay, and/or pasture, water and salt. If feeding less than 6 pounds per day of Triple Crown Low Starch to horses weighing 900 pounds or more, also feed additional minerals and vitamins supplied by either Triple Crown 30% or Triple Crown Lite.
Triple Crown Low Starch is a complete diet and can replace all or a part of your fiber portion of your diet, however, we strongly recommend that you continue to feed a portion of your diet in long stem hay or pasture.
NOTE: Provide plenty of fresh, clean water at all times. Keep product fresh in cool, dry storage. Examine product daily for mold or insect contamination. DO NOT use product that is old, molded or insect contaminated.
***The following coefficients of variation (cv) can be associated with the carbohydrate analyses. These should reasonably account for both sampling and analytical variation, though as you know, poor sampling can lead to much larger variation. The coefficients of variation (cv) for starch is 10%, WSC is 15% and ESC is 15%. For example, a feed with a WSC value of 10% should be expected to range from 8.5 – 11.5% and a WSC value of 20% to range from 17 – 23%. In addition, there are variables on ingredients between suppliers that could be as much as an additional 5% to 10% per ingredient. Therefore, products, such as TC 30% Supplement potentially would have a smaller variation than TC Lite due to the number of bulk ingredients making up the feed (2 vs. 4).
