Evidence-based Equine Nutrition: A Practical Approach for Professionals

Evidence-based Equine Nutrition, A Practical Approach for Professionals

Evidence-Based Equine Nutrition, A Practical Approach For Professionals Pdf Download

By Teresa Hollands and Lizzie Drury

Evidence-based Equine Nutrition, A Practical Approach for Professionals PDF uniquely provides both the scientific basis of equine nutrition and the translation of that science into practical, day-to-day feeding advice. It summarises the latest research to provide readers with the evidence base needed to both confidently advise those who want to understand the science behind equine nutrition, and apply that evidence into practical advice for anyone who just wants to know how to feed horses.

Both veterinary and animal science courses struggle to provide adequate nutrition training within their syllabuses. Much of the general information available is poorly explained and not evidence based. This book fills that gap, with the author team relaying over 50 cumulative years’ experience teaching equine nutrition to both practising clinicians and students.

Find answers to the most common queries and challenges encountered during nutritional consultations across 17 informative chapters, using typical case-based examples as experienced by the authors. Fully supported throughout with visual aids and photographic illustrations, they show how to easily increase compliance and understanding.
