Kentucky Equine Research continually conducts studies at its 150-acre research facility. Some of these results are presented at industry conferences or shared in peer-reviewed journals. Review some of our findings from the past 30 years below.

The Relationship Between Body Weight and Energy Requirements in Horses

Energy balance studies using indirect calorimetry were conducted with four mature equids ranging in weight from 125 to 856 kg

Energy Expenditure in Horses During Submaximal Exercise

Pagan, J.D. and H.F. Hintz. 1985. Energy expenditure in horses during submaximal exercise. In: Proc. 9th Equine Nutr. and Physiol. Soc. Symp. Michigan State University. pp. 182-187. This experiment was conducted to measure the amount of energy expended by horses traveling at speeds up to 400 m/minute on a racetrack both with and without a […]

The Use Of Non-invasive Techniques To Predict Bone Mineral Content And Bone Strength In The Horse

Lawrence, L. A. and E. A. Ott 1985. The use of non-invasive techniques to predict bone mineral content and bone strength in the horse. Proc. Equine Nutr. Physiol. Soc. 9:110. Photon absorption, radiographic photometry and ultrasound were  tested on a common group of equine metacarpals to determine their  ability to predict bone mineral content (BMC) […]

The Response Of Mares And Foals To Brief Separation

Houpt, K.A., H.F. Hintz and J. D. Pagan. 1981. The response of mares and foals to brief separation. In: Proc. Amer. Soc. of Animal Sci. Meetings. Abst. 6. p. 129

Digestible Energy Requirements of Lactating Pony Mares

The National Research Council’s (1978) estimates of the energy requirements for lactation are based primarily on theoretical calculations. Some experiments have evaluated the accuracy of these recommendations (Jordan 1979; Sutton 1977), but in these studies not only was the digestible energy adjusted to different levels, but all of the other nutrients as well.
