Proteins are for tissue building, you may want to focus on energy foods such as oils, carbs, fats. Excess energy foods turns into fats and are deposited throughout your animals frame. Proteins are more important in animals from birth to adulthood...Topside

Well, that's why they recommended the rice bran. It's high in energy and high in fat. Was being sold as a way to put weight on under weight horses, but was being used on cows with excellent results. She may need muscle too, but what she needs is just fat.

The simple answer would be the hay she is on and 5 to 10 lbs of the range cubes. It is as simple or complicated as you want to make it.
