Abstract
Feeding horses has long been considered an art passed down from generation to generation. However, recent advances are rapidly making horse nutrition a more precise science. Research in horse nutrition has provided valuable information on the nutrient needs of all classes of horses.
In feeding broodmares, you must consider several important factors:
-
nutrient requirements of the particular class of horse being fed,
-
physiological events involved in pregnancy,
-
nutrient content of the feed,
-
physiological limitations to certain rations.
