Advances In Equine Nutrition
Pagan, J.D. 1998. Advances in Equine Nutrition. Nottingham University Press, Nottingham, UK. Advances in Equine Nutrition is a compilation of selected papers from past KER nutrition conferences. These papers cover a broad range of topics and contain a wealth of information related to equine nutrition, veterinary medicine, and exercise physiology. Included is a mixture of […]
The Effect Of Pre-exercise B-vitamin Supplementation On Metabolic Response To Exercise In Thoroughbred Horses
Performance horses are often administered large quantities of B-Vitamins before exercise in an attempt to improve performance.
Recent Developments In Equine Nutrition Research
This paper will review papers from the first European Horse Nutrition Conference and the Equine Nutrition and Physiology Society.
Electrolytes And The Performance Horse
In the horse electrolytes play an important role in maintaining osmotic pressure, fluid balance, and nerve and muscle activity.
Energy And The Performance Horse
Among the nutrients that are important to the performance horse, energy is the dietary factor most affected by exercise. Energy is not a nutrient per se but is, rather, a measure of a feed’s potential to fuel body functions and exercise.
Choke Points: What Factors Limit Performance In The Equine Athlete
Horses are raised to be athletes, a number of physiological systems in the horse work together to provide fuels and oxygen for the working muscle and to remove waste products that are produced from its metabolism.
Computing Horse Nutrition: How To Properly Conduct An Equine Nutrition Evaluation
This paper will outline the steps that should be followed when conducting a nutrition evaluation for horses.
What Does Your Horse Weigh?
Determining what your horse weighs is the foundation of a logical feeding and management program. In addition to helping calculate daily intake requirements for hay and grain, accurate assessment of each horse’s weight is necessary for the proper dosage of dewormers and other medications.
Nutrient Digestibility in Horses
Many equine nutrient requirements are based on certain assumptions about how well
horses digest and absorb nutrients. Unfortunately, a great many questions remain
unanswered about nutrient digestibility in horses. How well do horses utilize different
sources of nutrients?
Measuring The Digestible Energy Content Of Horse Feeds
One of the most important measures of a horse feed’s value is its energy content. Energy density determines how much feed must be fed to meet an animal’s energy requirement.
