Time Of Feeding Critical For Performance
One of the most frequently asked questions regarding feeding the performance horse is when to feed before a competition. Several studies have evaluated how feeding grain before exercise affects plasma concentrations of nutrients.
and hormones and substrate utilization during exercise. A series of
experiments was conducted to first evaluate how feeding forage along with grain
influences plasma variables and water intake and then to determine whether these
changes affect exercise performance.
Feeding Management Of Horses Under Stressful Conditions
Most performance horses train and compete under a variety of stressful conditions
that adversely affect health and performance. Feeding management is of critical
importance to reduce many of these problems.
