This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >From my understanding of feeding it is best to feed by weight and not volume. The same volume of one feed can weigh much more than another, even the same grain, but in a different form such as rolled oats verse whole. Whole are much heavier and feeding the same volume would not be a good situation. Get a scale and weigh different feeds out. You just might be surprised at what 1lb really looks like. I might suggest a good book call Understanding Equine Nutrition written by Karen Briggs. This should answer most of your questions. I manage over 40 horses currently including Fjords and do not have any over weight issues. Supplements have their place, but over all most do not need as many as it seem except to make their owners feel better. Good Luck Bonnie Morris
