How many pounds of the cubes do you feed per day and do you split that up between feedings? How much hay (costal in my case) do you feed on top of that as well? Lastly, what benefits have you seen by feeding the cubes.

I feed the Omnis Cubes to the 3 that I have ranging in age from 27 to 17, 2 geldings and one mare. Here is the info I got when I first started feeding:
Should weigh around 1.1 lbs. I feed with a 4 quart metal scoop and fill it up really full. Weighs about 4.5 lbs. You really cannot overfeed as they are designed to be a complete feed. Here are some recommending feeding levels based on different uses for the cubes in varying feed programs:
Suggested Feeding Rates (1000 lb. Average Horse):
A) 3-6 lbs. (As a protein/energy supplement)
B) 0.8-1.2% body weight (8-12 lbs. along with hay or pasture of your choice)
C) 1.6-2.5% body weight (16-25lbs as a sole ration)
Depending on your particular set-up on how you would feed. Mine are on pasture so I give them one scoop in the morning and 2 scoops at night with their regular feed.

I've been feeding the Mustang Sally Cubes. I feed 10#'s per day. 1# Renew Gold. 6 cups of Alfalfa Pellets. 2 cups of Beet Pulp shreds along with FORCO, THE Equine Edge, salt and free choice mineral along with free choice coastal hay. He eats about 1 1/2 flakes of hay a day.

I feed a range of 9 yr old to yearling. The babies get 3 quarts twice a day and adults get 6 qts twice a day with a round bale. It takes 6 horses 2 weeks for one round bale so a lot of times they arent camped out there. I had a very cinchy horse you could not tie, couldnt saddle, and couldnt cinch with out him laying down to run backwards.. yes, he can do that in one move lol treated with ulcer meds and was ok for awhile then it was just a repeat. I have not treated him once since switching to omnis CP and he now stands tied, can saddle and cinch while hes tied! Its great! Everyone keeps better weight on, easy going attitudes and have not had any problems. I also ride 5-6 days a week and they maintain weight very well. I do not feed any suppliments at all. I put out a SaltRock is all.
