Ask the Experts

Our experts explain the nuts and bolts of equine nutrition.

with Larry Mack
Q. How do I go about changing my horse's feed, such as from sweet feed to pellets or vice versa?

A. It is always best to make gradual changes when you alter your horse's diet. Take 7-10 days to mix the different feeds together, thereby allowing the horse a gradual introduction to the new feed. Slowly change the horse over from the old feed to the new, and don't change more than a pound a day. This will help avoid digestive upset and possible colic.
