Feeding guide
Sweet Mix 12% should be fed with good quality forage or hay. Always provide an adequate supply of clean, fresh water.
Always feed by weight not volume. Feed adult maintenance horses at the rate of 0.75 to 1.0 Lbs. per 100 Lbs. of body weight per day depending on body condition and amount of work or exercise.
Switch feeds by introducing a new feed slowly by mixing it in with your old feed gradually over a one-to-two-week period. Observe your horses closely during the transition period.
For superior efficiency and performance, try Tucker Milling Eqceed™ or Solution™ brand horse feeds.

Sweet Mix 1250 lb bag
This feed’s published directions depend on age, forage, or the individual horse, so the calculator does not work out an amount. Read the directions, then enter the amount you feed to see how long a bag lasts.
Set daily amount and bag weightHow long a bag lasts
Enter the amount you feed each day.
What you feed
Weigh feed in pounds; scoop sizes vary. Always provide fresh water and follow the current bag tag.
How this is calculated
These calculations apply the published directions and do not assess the whole ration. A range given per 100 lb of body weight is multiplied by your horse’s weight ÷ 100; a fixed daily range is not. Bag duration is the bag weight divided by the daily amount. Pounds are shown to the quarter pound (to the hundredth below a pound), with a range rounded inward so it never leaves the published directions; days are shown to the half day, rounded down.
Always follow the feeding directions on the bag tag. Questions? Ask our nutritionist or call (256) 582-2552.

Questions about this feed
Short answers to what people ask. Always follow the feeding directions on the bag tag.
-
How do I change my horse to a different feed?
Make feed changes gradually, replacing a little of the old feed with the new feed at a time over about two weeks. Keep forage and water available, follow each product’s directions, and monitor appetite, manure, and body condition. Ask for an individual plan if your horse has a health concern. Read University of Minnesota guidance →
-
How do I measure a scoop of feed in pounds?
Weigh the empty scoop, then weigh it filled as you normally feed it and subtract the empty weight. Different feeds can weigh different amounts in the same scoop. Recheck when you change feeds; the feeding directions are based on weight.
-
Is a handful of feed enough to supply vitamins and minerals?
A fortified feed is intended to be fed at its recommended rate. A small handful may supply too little of its vitamin and mineral fortification. If your horse needs fewer calories, consider a ration balancer suited to the forage and feeding situation rather than simply cutting a conventional feed below its directions. Review Ultra Balancer →
-
Can I compare daily feeding cost instead of bag price?
Yes. Divide the bag price by its weight in pounds, then multiply by your daily feeding amount. Compare feeds at their own recommended rates and include any forage or supplements the feeding program needs. Your dealer can provide the current bag price.
