If desired, 0.5 to 1.0 additional pounds of ESSENTIAL K, ESSENTIAL K GC or ALFA ESSENTIALS may be fed per day, especially for faster growing young horses or heavy-producing lactating mares.

If feeding amounts higher than 10 pounds/day, it is recommended to offer 3 or more feedings per day, not exceeding 5 pounds per feeding.
