Equine Junior Horse Feed
*With Outlast® Gastric Support Supplement*
You know your horse’s first years are very important. Proper growth and development depend upon strong genetics, a nurturing environment, and good nutrition.
That’s why the Ph.D. Equine Nutritionists at the Purina Animal Nutrition Center formulated Purina Equine Junior horse feed to take the guesswork out of feeding your growing horse. The formula was developed to give your young horse a strong head start with the proper balance of nutrients. As a result, it helps to promote optimal growth and development. Additionally, Purina Equine Junior horse feed is a complete feed with high-quality forage built in. Therefore, it eliminates nutrient variability of hay or pasture and promotes a consistent diet for weanlings and yearlings.
Equine Junior horse feed is formulated with Purina’s proprietary high-fat Amplify nugget. This is a blend of vegetable oils, flaxseed and rice bran for an optimal fatty acid profile. Ideal for supporting development, shine and bloom.
