As equine science and research progresses all horsemen must update their knowledge and sometimes change their ideas about many aspects of the horse world, including nutrition.
This is the fourth volume in a series of books combining the latest research papers tabled at the most recent Kentucky Equine Research Equine Nutrition Conference.
Edited by Joe Pagan, a leading light in equine nutrition who has written or co-authored several of the research papers included here, this latest offering includes sections covering nutrition generally, that of the performance horse, broodmares, growing horses, and feeding for different conditions. This includes the absolute latest on metabolic disorders, laminitis, colic, gastric and colonic ulcers, insulin resistance, EIPH (exercise induced pulmonary hemorrhage), parasite control, and sick foals.
In all, there are 39 specific studies into many aspects of equine management and care.
Included is an in-depth study on bone disease by New Zealand veterinarian Wayne McIlwraith, from Colorado State University. His paper looks at the impact of skeletal disease on athletic performance in the horse, focusing on OCD (Osteochondritis Dissecans) in several joints in the horse.
