Supplemental Calcium Does Not Influence Radiographic Bone Mineral Content Of Growing Foals Fed A Fat-and-fiber Supplement
Hoffman, R. M., J. A. Wilson, L. A. Lawrence, D. S. Kronfeld, W. L. Cooper and P. A. Harris. 2001. Supplemental calcium does not influence radiographic bone mineral content of growing foals fed a fat-and-fiber supplement. In: Proc. 17th Equine Nutrition and Physiology Society. Lexington, Ky.

Effect Of An Aluminum Supplement On Nutrient Digestibility And Mineral Metabolism In Thoroughbred Horses
The effect of aluminum supplementation on nutrient digestibility and macro- and micromineral balance was studied in balance trials in mature Thoroughbred horses. It is concluded that short-term consumption of a diet containing 930 ppm aluminum has negligible effect on nutrient digestibility and mineral metabolism in horses.
Effects Of Exercise Training On The Digestibility And Requirements Of Copper, Zinc And Manganese In Thoroughbred Horses
Very little research has been conducted to determine the trace mineral requirements for athletic horses. The objectives of this study were to
1) determine the digestibility and retention of copper, zinc and manganese over four different levels of intake (basal, 50% of NRC added, 100% of NRC added, and 200% of NRC added) and 2) determine how regular exercise and training alters the requirements for these trace minerals. Results of the present study suggest that exercise training results in a higher requirement for Zn, but does not affect the true digestibility and maintenance requirements of Cu and Mn in mature Thoroughbred horses.
The Role Of Vitamins And Growth In Horses
Duren S, KM Crandell. 2000. The role of vitamins and growth in horses. World Equine Vet Rev: 3/4:12-16. The following paper will discuss several vitamins with known influences on skeletal growth and indirect relationships with healthy growth. In addition, this paper will evaluate the potential need for vitamin supplementation in growing horse diets.
Vitamin Requirements In The Horse
Crandell KM, 2000. Vitamin requirements in the horse. World Equine Veterinary Review. Vol. 5/8:15-20. Continued investigation into vitamin requirements in horses will broaden the understanding of the vital importance of these delicate organic compounds and to highlight the significance of optimal, not just minimal, nutrition in the equine.

Vitamin E And The Performance Horse
Vitamin E is a non-toxic, fat soluble vitamin which has an important role in many physiological functions such as reproduction, immune response and nerve and muscle function.
Effect Of Selenium Source On Selenium Digestibility And Retention In Exercised Thoroughbreds
Performance horses compete in a wide variety of athletic events ranging from high speed racing to 100 mile endurance rides. These types of exercise are known to induce oxidative stress, leading to the generation of free radicals.
Growth Of Thoroughbreds Fed Different Levels Of Protein And Supplemented With Lysine And Threonine

Selenium – How Important Is It?
The importance of selenium in equine nutrition has changed tremendously over the years. Scientists first considered selenium a toxin in the 1930s.
