Horse Pasture Management, Second Edition provides updated coverage
on strategies for managing behavior, grouping, environments and
feeding needs of grazing horses. Sections cover the structure,
function and identification of forages, continuing into nutritional
value of pasture plants. Management of soil, the function of a
pasture ecosystem and management of plants in a pasture is covered
next, followed by forage yield determination, horse grazing
behavior, feed choices of horses, management of grazing horses, and
how to calculate how many horses should be grazing relative to land
size. Advantages of grazing more than one species of animal are
described. Management of hay and silage are included since
year-round grazing is not possible on many horse farms. Several
chapters deal with interactions of a horse farm with the
environment, including climate and weather and other living things.
The book also covers strategies for managing manure, erosion, and
water quality. It is ideal for researchers, scientists and students
involved in animal science, specifically equine studies.
Agriculturists, equine managers and veterinarians will also find
this book useful.
