These Stud & Youngstock Cubes are also beneficial for horses with a reduced appetite, as their energy density ensures that a smaller portion provides the necessary energy and supporting nutrients, while minimizing the risk of overwhelming the horse's digestive system. Providing small, frequent, and digestible meals is crucial for managing blood sugar levels and preventing starch overload. These barley-free, non-heating Stud & Youngstock Cubes offer a lower starch alternative to Stud and Youngstock Mix, making them a preferred option for excitable horses. They are highly digestible and particularly effective in promoting condition while supporting the increased nutritional requirements of breeding stock and growing young animals. The vitamin and mineral profile is comparable to Stud & Youngstock Mix, and Stud & Youngstock Cubes can also be fed in smaller amounts alongside Stud Balancer to allow for flexibility in the diet's calorie content while maintaining essential nutrient levels. Feeding Recommendations The following tables suggest quantities of Stud & Youngstock Cubes to be fed in pounds and kilogrammes per day, followed by the equivalent number of 'round bowl Stubbs scoops' to feed per day, when feeding ad lib good quality forage. Quantities are based on the “anticipated mature bodyweight” of the youngster or actual bodyweight of the adult horse. The actual/estimated bodyweights of a youngster’s dam and/or sire are a good basis from which to estimate the “anticipated mature bodyweight” ie. the bodyweight you believe the youngster will attain as an adult.
