The feeding value of fresh pasture grazed in situ is determined by animal performance or
productivity and could be relatively easily established for growing and lactating horses …

▪ Abstract This review outlines the energy sources available to the horse, from its diet and
from its body stores, at rest and while exercising. It looks at the current ways of describing …

AIM: To identify feeding and management variables associated with variation in faecal pH
within a population of intensively managed Thoroughbred racehorses in New Zealand …

The aim of this study was to, from a holistic perspective, describe the effects of a forage-only
feeding system and a conventional training program on young Standardbred horses and …

abstract Some aspects of energy, protein and vitamin E nutrition of the performance horse
are discussed. The amount, dietary source and time of ingestion of energy before exercise …

Equine owner's and manager's implementation of equine nutrition concepts varies across
disciplines and geographic regions. The project objectives were to (1) characterize equine …

The purpose of this study was to summarize available information on nutrient excretion by
horsesfrom as many sources as possible. Values for amounts and characteristics of fresh …

Reasons for performing study: There is little information about the influence of crude protein
(CP) intake on glycogen and free pool amino acid concentrations in the muscle of horses in …

A restricted protein diet supplemented with amino acids and fat may reduce the acidogenic
effects of exercise. Twelve Arabian horses were assigned to a 2× 2 factorial experiment: two …

The rate of energy expenditure in maximal physical activity is fifty times that occurring at rest.
Thus, a consideration of the manipulation of diet to influence physical performance should …
