Directions
For an adult, 1100 lb (500 kg) horse (adjust for smaller or larger breeds): Maintenance, overweight: 1/4 to 1/2 cup Maintenance, of healthy weight: 1/2 to 1 cup Maintenance, underweight: 1 cup to 1 1/2 cups Working or performing horses: 1 1/2 to 2 cups. For young and growing horses: Foals do best with a creep feeding approach:[xv] 1/4 cup Yearlings and growing horses: 1/2 cup to 1 cup. For full-sized (1100 lbs) adult horses with health conditions[xvi] that warrant additional ground flaxseeds: Feed 2 cups, up to 4 cups (480-960 ml). Adjust amount to less than 1 cup if the horse is overweight and is not exercising. More than 2 cups per day should not be fed long term, but only until you see improvement. Then reduce to maintenance levels. Horses who are not accustomed to eating ground flaxseeds do best when it is introduced slowly, over a 2 to 3-week period, to allow the hind gut bacterial population time to adjust.
