I was recently told that my 1,150 pound horse should receive 17 – 23 pounds of forage per day. This was based on feeding him a minimum of 1.5% of his body weight in hay daily. Is this too much hay? Can some of his forage requirements be met by pasture or alfalfa cubes?

I am feeding horses my horses an expensive senior equine feed and they have been losing weight over the last few months. I noticed on my feed tag that there is now peanut hulls included as an ingredient in the feed and I don't think that was in there before. Could this be why my horses aren't thriving like they were?
The feed that I am feeding my horse contains Pro-Tect. Could you tell me what this is and how it benefits my horse?
