About this book

A collection of research and review papers presented at Kentucky Equine Research conferences featuring international authorities on equine nutrition, sports medicine and veterinary topics. They have refined nutritional requirements of horses, and discovered ways to effectively deliver nutrients for horses in all athletic endeavors, to achieve optimal growth in young horses, and to ensure nutrient requirements are being fulfilled in reproductively active horses.
