Proper formulation of diets for horses depends on adequate
knowledge of their nutrient requirements. These requirements depend
on the breed and age of the horse and whether it is exercising,
pregnant, or lactating. A great deal of new information has been
accumulated since the publication 17 years ago of the last edition
of Nutrient Requirements of Horses. This new edition features a
detailed review of scientific literature, summarizing all the
latest information, and provides a new set of requirements based on
revised data. Also included is updated information on the
composition of feeds, feed additives, and other compounds routinely
fed to horses. The effects of physiological factors, such as
exercise, and environmental factors, such as temperature and
humidity, are covered, as well. Nutrient Requirements of Horses
also contains information on several nutritional and metabolic
diseases that horses often have. Designed primarily as a reference,
both practical and technical, Nutrient Requirements of Horses is
intended to ensure that the diets of horses and other equids
contain adequate amounts of nutrients and that the intakes of
certain nutrients are not so excessive that they inhibit
performance or impair health. This book is primarily intended for
animal nutritionists, veterinarians, and other scientists; however,
individual horse owners and managers will also find some of this
material useful. Professors who teach graduate courses in animal
nutrition will find Nutrient Requirements of Horses beneficial as a
textbook. Table of Contents Front Matter Summary 1 Energy 2
