Can a horse eat poultry scratch feed?

Yes, horses can safely eat poultry scratch feed. However, it should not be fed as the sole source of nutrition. Poultry scratch feed is a mixture of grains, such as corn, wheat, and oats, that are typically fed to chickens and other poultry. It is high in carbohydrates and calories and low in protein and other essential nutrients. Horses need a diet that is high in fiber and protein to stay healthy. Therefore, mixing a balanced diet specifically designed for horses should be fed in addition to poultry scratch feed.
