Introduce a new feed gradually over 7 to 10 days building up to the amounts needed to maintain condition and energy levels (0.25 – 5.0kg depending on size, type, workload and condition). Place feed in a shallow bucket, add twice as much water as feed, then stir. Wait 5 minutes before feeding this product.
IMPORTANT, PLEASE READ: THIS PRODUCT DOES NOT PREVENT, TREAT OR CURE GASTRIC ULCERS. IF YOU SUSPECT YOUR HORSE HAS ULCERS PLEASE CONSULT YOUR VET.
To get the best results from Soothe & Gain, please make sure that you do not feed any other products that contain barley or molasses, as these ingredients can cause feed intolerance or behavioural problems. This feed is not suitable for horses and ponies prone to laminitis as it is over 10% combined starch and sugar. Please call our Nutrition Team for advice on a suitable feed.
Do not feed to sheep.
Our feeds are made from natural ingredients, so occasionally they may change colour slightly through the seasons, or take longer to soak. If the feed is not soaking quickly enough, please leave to soak longer, or soak the feed in warm water, then stir, until it forms a nice soft mash.
