Feeding Suggestions For Horses The basic ration for a horse is hay plus grain. The amount of grain a horse needs depends on the growth or performance expected. The amount of total ration is based on a consumption of 2-1/4 pounds of airdry fed per cwt. Thus a 1,000-pound horse would receive a total daily ration of 22-1/2 pounds.ividing the total C.P. in pounds by the total amount of the ration (2.255/18.75) gives a C.P. content of 12 percent. The average digestion coefficient for crude protein of grain is about 75 percent and about 65 percent for the crude protein of roughages.
