First published in 1986, this text covers every aspect of the nutrition of breeding, growing and working horses. It describes the basis upon which scientifically-derived conclusions for nutrient and dietary requirements are reached. The book has been updated, revised and rewritten, and has been made more practical by setting out the implications of new research for feeding programmes.
