Most of you will already now this but for new comers.....
Remember y'all a little info can be dangerous, don't go using this to
work out your rations. Requirement is dependant on weight of the horse
and what it is doing. NRC recommendations for Hal for example are 47g
Ca, 34g Ph and 17.8g Mg. Do your homework before making any drastic
changes in your horses' diets.

To help crunch the numbers I've put my nutrient number cruncher program
on my web page for download - URL below. It's freeware and may well be
full of moths for all I know.

However, if you keep crunching the numbers, you'll find
out that you're providing approximately 61 grams of calcium, 36 grams of
phosphorus and 28 grams of magnesium (according to NRC data), which is
roughly four times as much calcium, 3.5 times as much phosphorus and 4.5
times as much magnesium as is actually required for maintenance.
