GROWTH PELLETED FEED
For Broodmares:
- Helps to maintain healthy and steady glucose and insulin levels in mares during pregnancy and lactation
- Aids in supporting proper metabolism in nursing foals with reduced starch and sugar
For Growing Horses:
- Helps to promote steady growth using fat and carbohydrates for calories
- Supports glucose and insulin levels, helping to support a healthy metabolism
- INcludes ideal concentrations of the amino acids lysine, methionine and threonine to aide in supporting a healthy growth rate
Feeding Broodmares: The following chart is the amount of GROWTH to feed in lb per day, showing minimum and maximum amounts to be fed with free-choice hay, typically a minimum of 1% of the horse’s body weight.

Provide clean, fresh water at all times and free-choice salt.
If high quality forage is fed and the recommended minimum feeding rate cannot be met, either:
Add 1 lb of GRO 'N WIN™ or GRO 'N WIN™ Alfa per day for every 3 lb of GROWTH underfed, depending on forage type
