  • Feeding Instructions

    Evolution Senior is recommended for older horses (> 15 years). Feed in conjunction with water and a minimum of 1% body weight (on a dry matter basis) of a long stemmed forage (hay/pasture). Feed according to the following table, whereby the lower quantity meets minimum vitamin and mineral requirements and the higher quantity meets Purina Superior Recommendations. Ideally, feed enough to achieve desired body condition, and for every kilogram under the Purina Superior recommendation, provide 225 grams of Purina Equilizer (35710) Depending on hay analysis, Optimal (35720) may be better suited as the optional top-dress supplement.

    1. Purina recommends analyzing your hay and balancing the ration accordingly.
    2. Feed clean and dust free hay in sufficient amount daily. Feeding poor quality hay or feeding inadequate amounts could cause colic and other digestive upsets.
    3. Daily ration should be divided into 2 and preferably 3 separate feedings or more.
    4. Use a scale to weigh your feed so you know exactly how much your horse is being fed. Do not feed by volume.
    5. Purina recommends providing a maximum of 0.5% of body weight of this feed at one time.
    6. These recommendations are intended as a guide. They should be adjusted to variables of management, environment and individual needs. Consult your Purina Equine Consultant if necessary.
    7. Follow sound management practices along with optimal preventive veterinary medicine.

     

    CAUTION

    • Directions for use must be carefully followed.
    • Feed is perishable. Store in a dry, well‑ventilated area protected from rodents and insects. Do not feed moldy or insect‑infested feed to animals as it may cause illness, abortion or death.

Nutritional Facts

  • Reduced starch and higher fat and fibre content (commonly referred to as low glycemic)

    Delivers much needed sensible calories (energy) for senior horses. • Helps minimize gut upset (colic) by preventing starch overload in the hindgut. • Proven to effectively lessen glycemic and insulin response.

  • High pectin fibre source (beet pulp)

    A highly fermentable fibre source that provides needed calories to maintain body condition. • Helps maintain a healthier pH and microbial population in the typically declining senior hindgut.

  • Athlete™, Purina’s unique extruded high fat supplement with flaxseed (an excellent source of Omega‑3) with a 5:1 balanced Omega-6 to Omega‑3 ratio

    Higher digestibility and calorie (energy) availability. • Improves hair coat and skin condition. • Supports proper immune function and anti-inflammatory properties so vital to senior horses. • Promotes membrane integrity and cell viability. • Omega‑3 fatty acids shown to enhance insulin efficiency thus reducing insulin resistance. • Helps support cognitive ability.

  • Horse Plus™, Purina’s exclusive blend of Vitamin C, and a full complement of all B vitamins including biotin

    Essential blood‑building nutrients. • Supports immune function and overall health. • Essential for proper energy utilization.

    To help maintain proper muscle tone and joint function.

  • Organic copper, zinc, manganese and selenium

    Increases absorption and enhances trace mineral bioavailability to improve immune response.

  • Contains Yeast Culture

    Improves hindgut fermentation which increases energy, protein and phosphorus utilization.

  • Prebiotics and probiotics

    Helps promote good gut bacteria and protect against harmful bacteria for improved gut health.
