This Subject involves study at post graduate level of the feeding of all horse classes, including an examination of nutritional problems (from both a physiological and biochemical perspective) that may arise as a result of incorrect feeding practices. The characteristics and usefulness (evidence based) of nutritional supplements and feed additives and evaluation of commercial feedstuffs will be explored and least cost rations formulated. The incidences of, and modes of actions of feed-related toxins, including poisonous plants and myctotoxins will be examined. The importance of dental health in the care, management and feeding of horses will also be discussed. Students will examine current research in the area of equine nutrition. Students undertake literature reviews and are expected to assimilate current information and apply their knowledge to key nutritional disorders.
For those studying by distance education, this subject has a compulsory residential school. During the residential school students will undertake tutorial workshops on feed evaluation and feed techniques taught to internal students as well as participate in Solution-Based problem sessions designed to provide a hands-on approach to the theory taught in the subject.
