Cattle and horses that have been in a hurricane and have not eaten for several days should NOT be fed anything except grass or hay for a few days at the rate of about 2% of their body weight (about 20 pounds for most mature horses and cattle, 10 pounds for smaller animals). The hay should not be moldy but it can be wet. However, wet hay may contain fire ants and should not be fed if at all possible
