If Promita is fed as the only concentrate, roughage (hay, chaff, pasture, etc) should be fed at 1.5 – 1.75% of bodyweight. Total daily feed (concentrate + roughage) should be 2 -3% of bodyweight depending on age, workload, stage of pregnancy or lactation and climate. Additional grains can be added to the above rations is more condition is needed. The feeding guides are for temperate climates. In tropical climates increase the amount of Promita.
