Lactating Mares: Feed ½ to 1½ kg of Developer per 100 kg of body weight along with good quality mixed hay according to body condition and quality of hay or grass.

Yearlings: Feed ½ to 1½ kg of Developer per 100 kg body weight along with good quality grassy mixed forage. Feed according to development and the quality of hay or grass.

Two Year Olds: Feed ½ to 1 kg of Developer per 100 kg of body weight along with good quality grassy mixed forage. Feed according to development and the quality of hay or grass.

Most breeders switch to a good quality performance feed after the horse is two years old, but Developer can be fed to older horses if more development is desired.
