Importance of Balanced Rations

Summary:

When developing rations for horses, especially those that are required to perform at the highest level, balance is crucial. From broodmares and young, growing horses to racehorses on the track, nutritional requirements for digestible energy (energy) or calories, protein, vitamins, and minerals must be considered. A deficiency, or in some cases even an excess, in any one of these areas could prevent a horse from performing to the highest standards.
