6.  Acres  Stocking Rate  Special Needs  Portion control  Ratios in balance

7.  Feed Requirements  Protein  Intake

8. Grass or other green food compacted and stored inside silo’s  Can be used to replace half of hay ration  Has to be good quality (no decaying or mold)  Too bulky for hardworking horses  Should be chopped fine
