Equine Applied and Clinical Nutrition is a comprehensive text resource on the nutrition and feeding management of horses. Over 20 experts from around the world share their wisdom on a topic of central relevance to all equine practitioners and the equine community generally. Both basic and applied (including healthy and diseased animals) nutrition and feeding management of horses and other equids (i.e. ponies, donkeys, wild equids) are covered. The book will appeal to a wide audienc: undergraduate and post-graduate students in equine science and veterinary medicine, veterinarians, equine nutritionists, horse trainers and owners. The clinical component will strengthen the appeal for equine vet...
"This book provides an outstanding synthesis of the biology and the physiopathology of growth and of the nutritional requirements necessary for feeding the healthy growing horse. The basic knowledge is presented in main reports dealing with experimental and field studies on the following categories: growth and development; energy and protein requirements; minerals and vitamins requirements and the role of nutrition on developmental diseases. Sections end with applications for end users. These materials are the first step of further discussion on the evaluation and prediction of the requirements of the different types of horses covered in the scope of the working group of the Horse commission of the European Association for Animal Production. This book is of interest to all those working with horses including trainers, breeders veterinarians and horse owners."
This book contains the latest scientific findings on nutrition and training of racing and sport horses discussed by renowned experts during the Equine NUtrition and TRAining COnference 2009. Furthermore, state of the art reviews are published on the prevention and treatment of gastric ulcers, on the effects of diet and feeding regimens on performance, on the principles and practice of plyometric training for the development of strength and on how not to train sport horses. Finally, expanded abstracts of peer reviewed original research presented during the conference are included. All those concerned with training, riding and feeding in the equine industry will benefit from this valuable resource.
The exercising horse competes at various levels in different disciplines and is also increasingly used for leisure riding and driving as well as hobby farming and agritourism. This varied use of the horse of today creates challenges for those who are responsible for the feeding of horses, as well as to feed producers and manufacturers. This book provides an outstanding synthesis of knowledge in physiology and metabolism, nutritional requirements and feeding strategies. Use of performance aids and the question of feed contaminants and doping are explained and discussed according to EU legislation on the marketing and use of animal feeds and doping rules in horse sports. The improved knowledge...

The impact of nutrition on the health and welfare of the horse, whether performing at the highest athletic level or for leisure use, cannot be underestimated. To maintain good health and optimum performance the horse requires much more than just the correct levels of nutrients. In addition to avoiding an excess or a deficiency of nutrients the 'packaging' and form in which the horse ingests these nutrients plays an important role both for the horse’s body and mind. Incorrect nutrition contributes to occurrence of colic, obesity, metabolic syndrome, laminitis, rhabdomyolisis and stereotypic, abnormal or unwanted behaviours. This book explores the impact of nutrition on health and welfare in...

Das Standard-Nachschlagewerk auf seinem Gebiet, seit langem praxisbewährt: Der "Merian" liefert Chemikern, Biologen, Geologen, Toxikologen, Lebensmittelchemikern und Physiologen unentbehrliche Informationen zu den chemischen Elementen und ihren Verbindungen in Natur und Umwelt. Zahlreiche Tabellen mit Datenmaterial, eine ausführliche Bibliographie und ein Glossar ergänzen die Textbeiträge. Diese Neuauflage wurde übersichtlicher gegliedert, ernährungswissenschaftlichen Aspekten wurde mehr Raum gegeben. Neue Elemente-darunter einige physiologisch wichtige Nichtmetalle-wurden in die Diskussion aufgenommen.
Forages should be the basis of all diets in horse feeding. Therefore it is of major importance to determine which parameters will influence their quality. Changes on chemical composition along the vegetative cycle, nutrient losses during harvesting, preservation and storage are factors that could have an effect on nutritive value, as well on digestibility and palatability. A specific grazing and ingesting behaviour, linked to plant preferences and the selection of feeding sites will have an impact on biodiversity. This will determine the options on plant species and varieties and further management of pastures for horses. This book highlights the role of forages and grazing in horse nutritio...
