How to Use Augment for Optimal Results
Feeding Augment is simple. Mix the recommended scoop size with your horse's regular feed once daily. For general maintenance, use 1 scoop (approximately 28 g) per day. For working, growing, or breeding horses, increase to 2–4 scoops (56–112 g) daily. These rates are based on a 500 kg horse; adjust as needed for individual requirements. Store in a cool, dry place to maintain freshness and potency. Always provide fresh, clean water. Consult your veterinarian before using if your horse has a known health condition or is on medication.
