Selection and Use of Hay and Processed Roughage in Horse Feeding
Abstract
Diets for horses may comprise a variety of feedstuffs. Various ingredients or combinations can be used with success, provided the diet promotes normal digestive tract function, meets nutrient requirements, and represents a reasonable amount of feed that can be safely consumed by the horse. All diets need to contain sufficient roughage, with additional nutrients provided in a concentration that is balanced and offered in a fashion that will contribute to the horse's needs and continued well being.
