Winter feeding

[pinkpolo]

Any ideas for feeding a scrawny 2 year old over winter? He'll get ad-lib hay but the grazing won't be great.

I'd love to hear recommendations 😊

I’m wary of feeding too much to them at that age
I’d give hayledge over hay if he was getting poor before throwing loads of hard feed at him

Maybe Alfa-a oil, with fibre beet and if all else failed adding micronised linseed.
Like to keep it as low starch/sugar as possible especially at this age

Speedi-beet, (lower sugar content than fibre-beet and still a great conditioner) micronised linseed (no more than a mug-full) and a balancer for youngstock. You could include a basic chaff such as Thunderbrooks but I’d lay off the alfalfa as it sends some doollally. Keep it forage based though and you shouldn’t go far wrong.
