Amy Gill, PhD. Equine Nutrition Consultant

Greetings and thank you for visiting my web site. My objective for this site is to provide the equine community with practical nutrition and management information. As a horse person first and a scientist second, I recognize the importance of being able to use scientific information, but only that which can truly be applied to equine Amy M. Gill picture management.

I welcome you to utilize several services provided on this site. I will post a newsletter periodically focusing on a timely issue and a practical tip for keeping your horses healthy and performing to the best of their ability. Also available for downloading from this site are articles and presentations I have written in the past for various publications and seminars.

As always, I am available to you for consultation concerning the health, feeding and general management of your horses should the need arise. Please feel free to call or e-mail me at your convenience.

Lastly, my latest venture is the development of several novel adjunct nutritional therapies for the product line called Equi-Force Equine Products LLC. The ingredients in these products have been or are currently being researched in clinical trials and field studies in order to establish their efficacy in several species of animals including humans and horses. Please be sure to click on the products page for an overview of these specialized products.

Energy Sources for the Performance Horse

Carbohydrates are the main energy source in feeds for performance horses. Carbohydrates are either nonstructural (“sugars”), such as those found in grains, or structural like those found in forages.

Non-structural carbohydrates are digested and absorbed directly out of the small intestine as a single molecule of glucose. Glucose is a single molecule of carbohydrate. Starch from grain contains a long chain of glucose molecules linked together. All carbohydrates from the simplest to the most complex must be converted into glucose by the body before they can be used for energy.
