Equine Applied and Clinical Nutrition is a landmark text that provides a
comprehensive source of information on the nutrition and feeding
management of horses. In this authoritative and accessible account,
experts from around the world provide a global perspective while the
editors tackle key controversial areas. Topics covered include the basic
foundations of equine nutrition (digestive and metabolic physiology,
nutrient functions and requirements), nutritional management by life
stage or function, the assessment of feedstuffs and feeding programs,
and clinical nutrition. Also included is discussion on feed hygiene and
the role of manufacturers in feed quality and safety. The book contains
abundant practical nutritional advice for the treatment of clinical
conditions seen by veterinarians in their daily practice, together with
the fundamental information needed to make recommendations for the
nutritional management of healthy horses.
Equine Applied and Clinical Nutrition provides the most substantial
overview currently available of the nutritional management of key equine
clinical conditions. It further presents the up-to-date scientific
background needed to underpin recommendations. It will be of core
relevance to equine veterinarians and nutritionists, and a valuable
resource for undergraduate and graduate students, as well as lay
horsemen and women who wish to be better informed about their horses'
nutritional needs.
