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.
www.HealthyHay4Horses.com book review
| Customer Rating: | | This book is a must-read book for anyone concerned about nutrition requirements for horses, as it addresses every element of nutrition that is commonly of concern. Some issues that the book covers are: carbs, proteins, minerals, feed additives, ration formulation, and water quality. Issues concerning donkeys and other equids are also addressed. I did not find it hard to comprehend, but is very explanatory. Preface written by Laurie M. Lawrence, Chairman-Comittee on Nutritional Requirements for Horses. Many highly respected advisors have contributed to the content. Well covered subjects and full of helpful information, I highly recommend this book to anyone with an interest in horses. |
Excellent book -- very technical
| Customer Rating:  | | Great book but very technical. Lots of useful information so it is a good book to read. Lots of information on various studies done that may or not may be of interest to readers. A good book to have on your shelf for finding that information on feeding your horse that you would not find anywhere else. |
I cannot say enough good things!
| Customer Rating: | | I cannot say enough good things about this book! It is a must for anyone who formulates their horses' diets to any extent and needs specific information on feedstuffs. Particularly helpful if you have a horse with a nutrition-related disease, like insulin resistance or mineral deficiencies. |
