Characteristics



Contains reduced starch and higher fat and fibre content (commonly referred to as low glycemic)

  • Delivers sensible calories (energy) for growth and development.
  • A calorie blend designed to help minimize DOD’s (Developmental Orthopedic Diseases) by controlling insulin response.
  • Helps minimize gut upset (colic) by preventing starch overload in the hindgut.
  • Proven to effectively lessen glycemic and insulin response.


Contains a high pectin fibre source (beet pulp)

  • A highly fermentable fibre source providing needed calories for growth and development.
  • Helps maintain a healthier hindgut pH and microbial population.

  • Higher digestibility and calorie (energy) availability.
  • Improves hair coat and skin condition.
  • Supports immune function and anti-inflammatory properties.
  • Important for proper cognitive development.

Contains organic copper, zinc, manganese and selenium

  • Increases absorption and enhances trace mineral bioavailability to improve immune response and bone development and decrease the risk of DOD’s.


Contains Yeast Culture

  • Improves hindgut fermentation which increases energy, protein and phosphorus utilization.


Contains prebiotics and probiotics

  • Helps promote good gut bacteria and protect against harmful bacteria for improved gut health.


Contains a high level of Vitamin E (275 IU/kg) and selenium (0.45 mg/kg)

  • Important antioxidants to support overall health and immune functions.

Feeding rates

Evolution Juvenile is recommended for weanlings, yearlings and two-year olds. Feed in conjunction with water and a minimum of 1% body weight (on a dry matter basis) of a long stemmed forage (hay/pasture). Feed according to the following table, whereby the lower quantity meets minimum vitamin and mineral requirements and the higher quantity meets Purina Superior Recommendations. Ideally, feed enough to achieve desired body condition, and for every kilogram under the Purina Superior recommendation, provide 300 grams of Purina Optimal (35720). Depending on hay analysis, Equilizer (35710) may be better suited as the optional top-dress supplement.

  2. Feed clean and dust free hay in sufficient amount daily. Feeding poor quality hay or feeding inadequate amounts could cause colic and other digestive upsets.
  3. Use a scale to weigh your feed so you know exactly how much your horse is being fed. Do not feed by volume.
  4. Purina recommends providing a maximum of 0.5% of body weight of this feed at one time.
  5. These recommendations are intended as a guide. They should be adjusted to variables of management, environment and individual needs. Consult your Purina Equine Consultant if necessary.
