Milne Horse Grower & Weanling

Broodmares and young growing horses have a higher nutritional requirement for protein and energy than mature horses, particularly during the third trimester of pregnancy and in the first year of growth for young horses. Horse Grower and Weanling is an economical and nutritionally balanced pellet, designed to be fed to growing and breeding horses. They contain high levels of protein and energy to meet the demands of growth in horses. Horse Grower and Weanling pellets are made from a blend of grains and a basic vitamin and mineral premix.
