Ration balancers are usually a plain pelleted product with little to no molasses added. I don't use Purina, so had to look it up, they are called; Enrich 12 and Enrich 32 (here's a link to Purina website, so you can learn more about them: http://www.horse.purinamills.com/products/ ), they are both part of Purina's Nature's Essentials line. Not sure, as I don't feed purina; but I think the Enrich 32 is for balancing a grass hay/forage based diet, and the Enrich 12 for balancing alfalfa based diet.Is the name of the product Purina Enrich Ration Balancer - this sounds like something I could use for all of them. Is this a sweet feed? What has been your sucess keeping for a month or so? Much appreciated to all.
I'm in MT, so a difference in climate for storage time frame, but that said, I don't have any problem with keeping for a month (I also don't use sweet feed, so that might make a difference, pretty much all plain pelleted feeds). I have 10 minis and go through 3 bags of ration balancer per month, 1-2 bags senior, and 2 bags grass hay pellets. Here's where the difference in climate comes in handy; I buy my winter supply of beet pulp in Sept/Oct, same with grass hay pellets (I have to drive 150 miles one-way to get them); and they keep just fine. [Matter of fact, I'm on my last bag of grass hay pellets I bought last Sept, and they are just as nice as when I bought them. Also using up the last of the beet pulp for a hard keeper (new shipment coming soon).]
