Re: [RC] Athlete Formula - Jon . LindermanThis is absolutely true Athlete is a supplement not a feed. I spoke w/my wife last night, one of Purina's equine educator & she gave me the same #'s & indicated that is supposed to be a top dress supplement, not a feed. The idea is that as a supplement it still supposedly has the ratios of vits/mins consistent with their (Purina's) feeds so as not to throw those ratios out of whack...........personally it reminds me of cocoa puffs and always made me want to have a bowl of cereal after feeding it. Since the switch to race ready, and then later to ultium we have no more cocoa puffs in the barn. Jon K.

It is 14% Protein which may be a bit high It is 12% Fat which is fine. It is 4% fiber With the very low fiber it is obviously intended to supplement hay and beet pulp. I don't see any great advantage to it, but it certainly doesn't seem evil.
