Developments in Equine Nutrition: Comparing the Beginning and End of This Century

Patricia A. Harris

Waltham Centre for Equine Nutrition and Care, Waltham-on-the-Wolds, Melton Mowbray, Leicestershire, LE14 4RT, UK

In the first part of this century, there was little advancement in horse nutrition and little research was undertaken. However, in the last few years, there has been a great increase in interest in this whole area. This review surveys some of the more recent developments and how they have influenced feeding practices and also compares these with those feeding practices found at the start of this century. The review concentrates on the nutrition of the adult horse in work, exploring in particular what they are fed and how the nutrient value of these feeds is evaluated.

Key words: horses, nutrition, historical, review, feeding practices.
