Start cooking noodles.
2. Brown the ground beef and
onions in a nonstick pan until
cooked through.
3. Put beef and onions into a
strainer and rinse with hot water

pan with hot water as well. This
rinsing will remove about half of

STOCKMAN'S ROUNDUP: Mate feed changes gradual-
Or
51 is
by Bob Pawelek
OSU Livestock Agent
Given the opportunity to free
access, most horses will often con
sume too much grain. This causes
digestive upset. The most com
mon problem with overeating is
the consumption of too much
starch in a single feeding. Grains
vary in the amount of starch. For
example, corn has much more
starch per pound than oats.
Feed tags help
Knowing the energy concentra
tion of your grain mix will assist
in determining the amount of a
ration that is needed to supply en
ergy needs. Generally, the higher
the fiber content, the lower the
digestible energy content, so crude
fiber estimates on feed tags pro
vide some information. Addition
ally, added-fat feeds will raise or
maintain the energy level of feeds
while reducing the amount of
starch.
Changes in the intake level and
the physical form of rations should
be done gradually over several
days to weeks. This practice al
lows the digestive tract time to
adapt to different levels and physi
cal forms of nutrients, and is espe
cially important when feeding en
ergy-dense rations. As such, grain
amounts should be increased in
crementally when changes in man
agement require an immediate
need for more energy. For ex
ample, increase grain one-half
pound every two to three days un
til energy balance is met.
For similar reasons, introduce
horses to pastures with large
amounts of lush forages by limit
ing access for several days.
Group feeding
Competition among horses in
group-fed situations may allow
some horses to consume more feed
than needed, while others are not
allowed access to enough. To re
duce competion between horses,
group-housed horses should be fed
grain in individual feeders that are
spread out over a large area, say
50 feet between feeders.
One should also consider slow
ing the rate of intake by reducing
the desire to eat. This may reduce
competition. As such, supplement
ing pastures with free choice hay
in times of limited forage produc
tion may slow the rate of intake of
grain because the horses may not
be as hungry at meal time.
When to feed
In many ways, the horse's di
gestive physiology is best suited
for a continuous, low level supply
of feed. However, for manage
ment, housing and production
needs, most horses are meal-fed.
Meal-feeding large amounts of
starch increases starch bypass into
the cecum and colon.
Large amounts of starch pre
sented to the hindgut increases the
frequency of digestive upset.
Therefore, it is recommended to
split grain into two daily feedings
when the daily amount of grain
exceeds 0.5 body weight (five
pounds grain per 1000 pound
horse).
Those feeding grain to horses at
levels of or abouve 1 of body
weight per day should consider
splitting amounts into three por
tions per day. Meal feedings
should be separated as much as
possible, i.e. 10 to 12 hours be
tween a.m. and p.m. feedings for
two daily meals.
