10 Guidelines for Smarter Equine Feeding Strategies

Editor's Notes

  1. Colic, gastric ulcers, hindgut acidosis, laminitis, wood chewing, behavior issues
  2. Talking point: weigh your hay
  3. According to the NRC*, an adult horse in moderate work generally needs 768g of crude protein, or about 8% of the diet. Growing horses, pregnant and nursing mares, and senior horses need more. Also, it’s important to understand quality vs quantity when it comes to protein.
