Dietary Carbohydrates And Fat Influence Radiographic Bone Mineral Content Of Growing Foals
Hydrolyzable carbohydrate intake in horse diets may become excessive when rapidly growing pastures are supplemented with grain-based concentrates.

Vitamin A Repletion In Thoroughbred Mares With Retinyl Palmitate Or Beta-carotene
Forty-five Thoroughbred mares used in an 8-mo depletion study were kept for an additional 20 mo on the same three forage diets (15 mares each): 2-yr-old orchardgrass hay and vitamin A-free concentrate on a drylot (HC); pasture, orchardgrass/alfalfa hay, and vitamin A-free concentrate (PHC); or pasture and orchardgrass/alfalfa hay only (PH).
Nutrient Requirements And Balancing Rations For Horses
Nutritional requirements of horses are composed of = two factors- maintenance needs and activity needs.
The Influence of Time of Feeding on Exercise Response in Thoroughbreds Fed a Fat-Supplemented or High-Carbohydrate Diet
Recent research has demonstrated that feeding supplement fat to thoroughbred horses altered blood glucose and insulin levels compared to a grain based diet and these changes influenced substrate selection during a standardized exercise test.
Responses Of Blood Glucose, Lactate And Insulin In Horses Fed Equal Amounts Of Grain With Or Without Added Soy Bean Oil
When fat is substituted for carbohydrate isocalorically in a horse’s ration blood glucose and insulin response to feeding is reduced. This paper discusses an experiment designed to evaluate the affects of fat on glycemic response.

The Effect Of Different Fat Sources On Exercise Performance In Thoroughbred Racehorses
Energy is the factor that should be considered first when evaluating the nutrition of the performance horse, since it is the factor most likely influenced by exercise. A number of studies have evaluated different sources of energy for performance horses. Different levels of fat and protein have been fed to horses in an attempt to alter performance.
