Advances In Equine Nutrition - Vol 3
Author(s): Joe Pagan & RJ GeorA collection of research and review papers presented at KER conferences featuring international authorities on equine nutrition, sports medicine and veterinary topics. They have refined nutritional requirements of horses, and discovered ways to effectively deliver nutrients for horses in all athletic endeavors, to achieve optimal growth in young horses, and to ensure nutrient requirements are being fulfilled in reproductively active horses.
Advances in Equine Nutrition, Volume III is a collection of original research and review papers presented during the Kentucky Equine Research Equine Nutrition Conference for Feed Manufacturers held annually in Lexington, Kentucky. The conference features international authorities on nutrition, sports medicine and veterinary topics pertaining to the horse. These authorities have not only refined nutritional requirements of horses, but they have also discovered ways to most effectively deliver nutrients necessary to fuel horses in all athletic endeavors, to achieve optimal growth in young horses, and to ensure nutrient requirements are being fulfilled in reproductively active horses. Interspersed among scientific topics, practical feeding and management considerations are offered. Kentucky Equine Research is an international research firm that specializes in equine nutrition and sports medicine consultation and product development. Kentucky Equine Research has secured its place as one of the premier equine research organizations in the world by conducting and publishing state-of-the-art research, by collaborating with prominent universities and other research institutions, and by disseminating advances in equine nutrition research to horsemen throughout the world.
