Hello. If she is not having any issues, then there is usually nothing more to give her except for plenty of good grass hay, some concentrates, either as a sweet feed or a pelleted feed, & a salt block. A senior pelleted feed might be appropriate for Destiny, but if you are concerned about a health issue, you should consult your veterinarian for this. Thanks for using Boop by Petco.

Hi again. Your main source of calories should come from good forage but if that is unavailable, you will need to add more fat to the diet. You can do this with vegetable oils, especially doybrsn oil rather than corn oil. Start with 2 ounces of oil twice daily & gradually build up to 8 ounces twice daily. Another source of fat is stabilized rice bran, which is about 20% fat & is palatable to horses. This is also less messy than an oil. You would feed the same increasing amount as the oil. Watch the manure for any signs of diarrhea or loose stool & back off the fats as necessary. Hope this helps & thanks againfor using Boop by Petco.

Make sure your vet has done full bloodwork and an exam to look for any obvious age-related health issues like bad teeth, infection, or internal tumors. Senior feed is great, but some horses need more like 12-15 lbs of it per day to maintain decent weight. It can get really expensive, unfortunately. If you increase the feed, do so very slowly to avoid colic or impaction. Beet pulp and high-fat supplements can also help. I use Purina Amplify. Hope that helps!

First you need to make sure his teeth are OK. If they haven't been checked or floated in a while that is the first place I would start. You can feed him anything you want but if he can't chew properly he won't be able to break it down and digest it. Next you should make sure he has been properly dewormed. After that, your best bet to help him gain weight is to feed him a senior diet (like Equine Senior) and add some corn oil and rice bran too. Be sure he has good quality timothy hay to eat too.

You can but you would need twice the amount than if you used the cattle/horse formulation. The swine Excede is 100mg/ml and the cattle/horse Excede is 200mg/ml . So, a 1,000 pound horse would need 15mls of the cattle/horse Excede but would need 30mls of the swine Excede.
