Kentucky Equine Research continually conducts studies at its 150-acre research facility. Some of these results are presented at industry conferences or shared in peer-reviewed journals. Review some of our findings from the past 30 years below.

The Influence Of Phosphorus Level On Mechanical Properties Of Bovine Bones

Composition Of Milk From Pony Mares Fed Various Levels Of Digestible Energy

Increases in energy intake decreased the concentration of total solids, protein, fat and gross energy of mare’s milk. Energy intake had a greater influence on the mare’s body condition than on milk energy production. It was concluded the objective of a feeding program for a lactating mare should be to keep the mare in a desirable body condition rather than to influence milk composition or production.

Maternal-Offspring Bond of Ponies Fed Different Amounts of Energy

Houpt, K.A., H.F. Hintz, and J.D. Pagan. 1983. Maternal-offspring bond of ponies fed different amounts of energy. Nutrition and Behavior 1:157-168. This study was designed to find the effect of varying the caloric level of the maternal diet during lactation on the response of 23 mares and their suckling foals to separation. Pony mares were […]
