If high-quality forage is fed and the recommended minimum feeding rate cannot be met, either:

1. 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.

2. Supply GRASS PLUS™ Mineral & Vitamin Mix (with grass or mixed forage) or ALFA PLUS™ Mineral & Vitamin Mix (with legume forage).

Directions

For Broodmares:

Growth helps to maintain healthy and steady glucose and insulin levels in mares during pregnancy and lactation
Growth aids in supporting proper metabolism in nursing foals with reduced levels of starch and sugar

For Growing Horses:

Growth helps promote steady growth using a combination of fat and carbohydrates for calories
Growth supports consistent glucose and insulin levels, helping to support healthy metabolism
Growth includes ideal concentrations of the amino acids lysine, methionine and threonine necessary to support a healthy growth rate
