Nutrient Requirements Of Horses: Sixth Revised Edition (Animal Nutrition Series) Download Free (EPUB, PDF)
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.

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.
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.
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 am upgrading my own nutritional Excel sheet to evaluate and balance my horses' diets, which I've done for the past few years. This book is amazing -- helps you understand what each nutrient does and provides both a link to an online tool and the formulas behind it. The last word in equine nutrition. If you are serious about your horse's health, this is the book. A heavy read -- think college textbook -- but well worth the investment.
Factual based information free of the equine emotion pervasive in horse folks. This book will stop the horse owner from buying the far too many and un-needed feed supplements.
So far I am loving this book. It is really helping me along with my equine nutritional studies. Very well written, a lot of detail, and a lot of thought has gone into this book. It provides the basic guidelines for ANY nutrition course or info ..Whether or not you're studying, this would be a good book for you.However it is a LOT of detail, with formula's etc.. some maths is required. But it's so full of detail, it's been great for my course.
This book has great information, but it's hard to find any specific information that you might need to find on the spot. More of a spot-reference might be more useful if that's what you're looking for.
i received this book earliierthanksi can check many things about horsei'm still reading itit help me to know about horse
