Managers should customize this calendar, as is appropriate, to fit their specific farm.Item Aging Horses by Teeth(AgriLife Extension, Texas A&M University System)Item A Field Study Report: Reproductive Performance of Mares Kept Primarily on Pasture(AgriLife Extension, Texas A&M University System) Gibbs, Pete G.; Davison, Karen E.Success at breeding and raising young race prospects depends a great deal on the reproductive performance of brood mares. Many brood mare owners go to considerable effort in breeding mares so that they will foal at the right time of the year, nurse a properly developing foal and re-breed easilyItem Texas 4-H Horse Quiz Bowl Supplement(AgriLife Extension, Texas A&M University System)Item Selection and Use of Hay and Processed Roughage in Horse Feeding(AgriLife Extension, Texas A&M University System) Gibbs, Pete G.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.Item Procedures for Feeding Rescued Cattle and Horses in Hurrican-Affected Areas(AgriLife Extension, Texas A&M University System)Cattle and horses that have been in a hurricane and have not eaten for several days should NOT be fed anything except grass or hay for a few days at the rate of about 2% of their body weight (about 20 pounds for most mature horses and cattle, 10 pounds for smaller animals). The hay should not be moldy but it can be wet. However, wet hay may contain fire ants and should not be fed if at all possibleItem Stallion Nutrition(AgriLife Extension, Texas A&M University System) Gibbs, Pete G.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.
