Stallion Nutrition
Abstract
Breeding stallions, on the average, have daily nutrient requirements that are 25% above maintenance of a mature stallion during the off season. This is based on the assumption that a stallion's breeding activity and exercise are comparable to the energy expenditure and nutrient needs of a mature performance horse with a light work load. Although limited research has been conducted on nutrition of breeding stallions, it appears obvious that a stallion's book, age, behavior, body condition, general health picture, routine handling and level of free or forced exercise all impact how a sire should be fed.
