Recommendation

12.3 kg of hay at this quality covers the full energy need (105 MJ DE/day). No concentrate required — consider a mineral lick or vitamin supplement for micronutrients.

This is an indication. For sport horses, pregnant mares, foals or horses with EMS/Cushing's we recommend custom guidance via an equine nutritionist.
