Switching your horse’s diet requires careful planning to avoid digestive upset or stress. A gradual transition period of 7-10 days is recommended when moving to Royal Feeds, helping your horse adapt smoothly to their new diet.
Step-by-Step Guide
- Days 1-3: Begin by replacing 25% of your horse’s current feed with Royal Feeds. Monitor for any signs of discomfort or changes in behavior.
- Days 4-6: Increase the portion of Royal Feeds to 50% of their meal, mixing it thoroughly with the old feed to ensure consistency in each bite.
- Days 7-9: Raise the amount of Royal Feeds to 75% of the total feed.
- Day 10 and Onward: Complete the transition to Royal Feeds, replacing the previous feed entirely.
Tips for a Smooth Transition
- Monitor Water Intake: Ensure your horse has access to plenty of fresh water, as changing feeds can sometimes affect water consumption.
- Check for Digestive Changes: Look for signs of colic, diarrhea, or any other digestive irregularities. If issues arise, slow the transition or consult a veterinarian.
- Stay Consistent: Avoid changing other aspects of your horse’s routine or diet during the transition to minimize stress.
