Hi Peggy,
I looked at the link and it sure it lengthy! Since you are giving TC low starch -- go ahead and weigh it -- that way you know how much your horse is getting. Then, if you are not feeding according to the directions, you can purchase Triple Crown's 12% supplement to go along with their feed. This would be a better, and more economical way to go. It may also be safer, since there may be too many overlaps with this product plus the complete ration (Triple Crown low starch).
All the best,
Dr. Getty
