Jones Senior Horse Pellets for Mature and Older Horses – 25 kg Ontario Canada
Support the changing nutritional requirements of an aging horse with Jones Senior Horse Pellets, a highly digestible complete feed formulated by Jones Feed Mills for mature and senior horses. Supplied in a convenient 25 kg bag, this high-fat pelleted ration provides concentrated nutrition for older horses that may need help maintaining appropriate weight and body condition.
Digestible Nutrition for Senior Horses
As horses age, changes in appetite, dental condition, digestion, workload and metabolism can affect their ability to maintain condition. Jones Senior Horse Pellets contain quality, digestible ingredients selected specifically for mature and older horses.
The manufacturer lists a guaranteed analysis of 14% crude protein, 10% crude fat and 16% crude fibre. This combination provides elevated protein, dietary energy, vitamins and minerals within a uniform pelleted feed. Jones Feed Mills describes it as a complete ration designed to help support horses through the aging process.
High-Fat Formula with Rice Bran
The formula receives most of its added fat from rice bran, which Jones Feed Mills identifies as a highly digestible fat source for horses. Its 10% fat content provides concentrated calories for senior horses and other appropriate animals requiring additional dietary energy to maintain body condition.
Jones also includes Senior among its feeds for hard keepers and performance horses. However, age alone does not determine the correct ration. Feed choice should account for the horse’s teeth, current weight, body-condition score, forage quality, workload and health status.
Pelleted Feed That Can Be Soaked
The consistent pellet format discourages ingredient sorting and makes daily servings easier to weigh. Jones recommends adding two to three parts water to its pelleted horse feeds and serving the prepared feed within one hour of wetting.
Soaking can create a softer meal, which may be useful when professionally recommended for an older horse. It does not replace a dental examination. Horses that drop feed, struggle to chew or unexpectedly lose weight should be assessed by a veterinarian or qualified equine dental professional.
Feeding and Management Guidance
Jones Feed Mills gives a general complete-ration feeding range of 0.5–1.5 kg per 100 kg of body weight daily, adjusted according to workload, horse condition and hay quality. Always follow the directions printed on the current bag because individual requirements vary.
Introduce the ration gradually, weigh portions accurately and divide larger daily quantities into several meals. Provide clean, fresh water at all times. Consult a veterinarian or qualified equine nutritionist before substantially reducing or replacing forage, especially for horses with dental, metabolic or digestive concerns.
