Fat-soluble Vitamins And The Performance Horse
Crandell KM. 1997. Fat-soluble vitamins and the performance horse. Kentucky Equine Research Equine Nutrition Conference, Lexington KY. Feeding vitamin supplements to horses has become commonplace. There are questions about the necessity of this practice, and the dangers involved. Fat soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K) in particular can be a problem because of their ability to […]
Nutrient Requirements And Balancing Rations For Horses
Nutritional requirements of horses are composed of = two factors- maintenance needs and activity needs.

Preweaning Diet And Stall Weaning Method Influences On Stress Response In Foals
The stress response of foals during weaning was examined in terms of a behavioral protocol and the responses of plasma ascorbate, serum cortisol, and the serum cortisol response to an ACTH challenge.
Vitamin A Status Of Neonatal Foals Assessed By Serum Retinol Concentration And A Relative Dose Response Test
Greiwe-Crandell KM, SD Kronfeld, LS Gay, D Sklan, PA Harris. 1996. Vitamin A status of neonatal foals assessed by serum retinol concentration and a relative dose response test. Pferdeheilkunde 12(3):181-183. The objective of the study was to evaluate the vitamin A status of the newborn foal. Serum retinol and the relative dose response (RDR) test […]
Seasonal Vitamin A Depletion In Grazing Horses Is Assessed Better By The Relative Dose Response Test Than By Serum Retinol Concentration
Vitamin A influences growth and reproduction in horses. A retinol dose response (RDR) test for retinol has been shown to be better than serum retinol concentration for assessing vitamin A status in other species, so we have compared these two methods in the horse.
The Effect Of Chromium Supplementation On Metabolic Response To Exercise In Thoroughbred Horses
Chromium is essential nutrient in humans and at this time its only known role is that is a component of the glucose tolerant factor (GTF) which potentiates the action of insulin. This paper discusses the study performed to determine the affect of Chromium supplementation on metabolic response in exercised trained thoroughbreds.
