Feeding fit horses - How to feed my horse appropriately
Feeding fithorses -"Health comes into the house through the kitchen, not the pharmacy" says a Chinese proverb and nothing could be truer, even when it comes to feeding our horses. Many diseases did not exist in the past, such as equine metabolic syndrome (EMS) or polysaccharide storage myopathy (PSSM), or were at least much rarer, similar to laminitis or Cushing's disease. The book shows the connections between the individual nutrients, digestion and utilization in the metabolism. The reader is given a clear explanation of which feedstuffs have which effect on the organism. From this, direct and simple guidelines can be derived for the ideal feeding of each four-legged friend and its individual needs. A practical book for every horse owner and stable operator.
