ok guys.. my husband bought me a bag of pellets and I am not sure how much I am suppose to feed. I normally feed the cubes but we wanted to try the pellets. Can someone please give me some information.

like a regular feed scoope? I feed 2x a day. So I was feeding a 1/4 scoope at both feedings. So wasn't sure they were getting what they needed or not. They also have hay available 24/7.

yes, the plastic feed scoop is what I feed. Mine are on round bales of bermuda too. I also feed a vitamin/mineral with the hay pellets and the equine nutritionist I work with said it's a good program. My broodmares are getting extra feed but that is them.

How much of the Augment do you feed? I found the Adeptus website and a place to order but it doesn't say how much to feed or how long each size lasts 1 horse....

I feed a full scoop (your regular plastic scoop) along with Chaffhaye for my hard keeper for lunch. He gets feed for breakfast and dinner. My other horses get 1/2 to 1/4 scoop for lunch with chaffhaye. I don't feed the cubes because we've had horses choke, so I can't compare - but i'm perfectly happy with pellets. They don't get "hot", but it keeps their gut going throughout the day.
