This is the second edition of Horse Feeding and Nutrition which was
originally published in 1980. It provides the latest information
available for those interested in the feeding and nutrition of
horses. This new edition has been entirely revised to include the
large amount of new research information that has become available
since publication of the first edition. Three new chapters have
been added, entitled Feeding and Health-Related Problems, The
Complexity of Proper Bone Formation, and Exercise Physiology. New
feed and food crops, improved methods of production and processing,
increased productivity of animals and crops, changes in animal
products including more lean and less fat in meat and less fat in
milk, longer shelf-life requirements of animal food products, and a
myriad of new technological developments have resulted in a need to
continually re-evaluate nutrient requirements and supplementation.
Sample diets are given, useful as guides in developing diets for
horses. Suggested levels of protein, minerals, and vitamins for use
in horse diets are presented. These can be used as guides which can
be modified to suit the various feeding situations encountered in
horse farms.
The volume of scientific literature is increasing rapidly each
year. Moreover, its interpretation is becoming more complex. This
increases the need for summarizing and interpreting these new
developments in up-to-date books such as in this one.
