This title offers an overview of current scientific knowledge on the interaction between feedstuffs, feed intake and digestive processes in the horse. It also looks as the nutrient requirements of the horse and the models for prediction of nutrient intake.
Nutrition is an essential part of daily management of horses. It affects health, welfare and performance. In natural surroundings the horse would spend up to 65% of time foraging for food. The digestive system reflects this behavioural process. Whilst recent advances in equine nutrition have improved our knowledge of how to optimise the feeding of horses under different physiological challenges, this book tries to incorporate the interaction between nutritional and behavioural requirements.
