[QUOTE="dun, post: 28681, member: 34"] Depending on the quality of the hay, the rule of thumb is 2.5-3% of body weight per day. You have to figure waste so maybe another lb or 2 a day. You also have to have adequate scratch value in the hay just to keep the guts functioning properly. 10 lbs a day of straw would work out if you're feeding a high level of concentrates as supplement. dun [/QUOTE]
