"A must for all equine science/studies students, and a great book for the professional as well as general horse owner."
-Dr Mina Davies Morel BSc PhD, Institute of Biological, Environmental and Rural Sciences, Aberystwyth University
If you are studying horse nutrition at an introductory level, then this is the ideal book for you. It covers the current syllabuses set out by equine science and management courses, and is particularly suitable for those who lack background knowledge in science.

Features:
- Student friendly, with key summary points at the end of each chapter and lots of helpful tables and images.
- Covers the fundamentals of horse nutrition including daily nutrient requirements (using the latest National Research Council data).
- Information on nutraceuticals and the nutritional management of health-related problems, such as Equine Metabolic Syndrome, Laminitis and PPID (Cushing's syndrome).
About the author:
