Summer ration for horses
Feeding cracked or ground corn may be cost effective for horses in summer unless teeth are poor. Shelled corn is preferred. Crushed corn and cob meal is less efficient due to crushing costs and fiber. A mix of corn, bran and a touch of oilmeal forms a good summer ration. For a 1000 pound horse ten pounds corn and three pounds bran daily roughly equals fourteen pounds oats with more carbs and less protein. A small amount of oilmeal helps balance the ration.
