Nutrition
Equine nutrition involves crafting balanced diets tailored to a horse’s age, breed, activity level, and health to ensure optimal performance, health, and longevity. As non-ruminant herbivores, horses need at least 1.5-2% of their body weight in forages (hay, grass) daily, supplemented with grains and vitamins/minerals as needed. Overfeeding can lead to obesity, colic, or laminitis. Key considerations include:
-
Digestive Health: A small stomach and hindgut fermentation demand high-fiber diets to avoid ulcers or choke.
-
Nutrient Balance: Energy, protein, minerals (e.g., calcium, phosphorus), and vitamins (e.g., vitamin E) must be balanced, with organic minerals aiding absorption.
-
Specialized Diets: Nutritionists design rations for performance horses, seniors, foals, or conditions like equine metabolic syndrome or laminitis, often using low-NSC feeds.
-
Feed Management: Forage quality varies; soaking hay lowers NSCs. Feed is weighed for precision, and cold weather increases energy needs.
-
Research: The 2007 NRC guidelines and ration software inform diets, with ongoing studies on prebiotics and minerals refining practices.
​Equine nutritionists, typically with advanced degrees (BSc, MSc, PhD) and credentials (RNutr, ARPAS), collaborate with vets and owners to optimize diets and prevent nutrition-related issues. Use this directory to find qualified equine nutrition professionals who can assess your horse’s needs, evaluate forage, and create customized feeding plans to keep your horse thriving.
