There is limited information on the different requirements of mules versus horses. In data reported for mules at work, it appears that their energy requirement is about 10% lower than that for horses of similar body weight. We would suggest that for mules at maintenance you could decrease energy by 10%, and a similar reduction for working mules could also be used. You will need to monitor the mule's body weight or body condition to further refine your feeding practices.
