  • Title: [Energy and protein supply for event horses during training: comparison between intake and requirements].
    Author: Hallebeek JM, van Doorn DA, Beynen AC.
    Journal: Tijdschr Diergeneeskd; 2000 Aug 15; 125(16):482-6. PubMed ID: 10994069.
    Abstract:
    In horses that exercise intensively (for example, event horses in training) the intake and energy requirements were compared on the basis of a diet record and estimates of energy required for exercise. Daily net energy intake over a 7 days period was on average 30% (n = 15) higher than the net energy requirement. Since the horses had a constant body weight, and thus were in energy balance, the energy intake was overestimated and/or the energy requirement was underestimated. The intake of digestible protein was 92% higher than the protein requirement. This study illustrates the problems concerning ration assessment and evaluation in practice.
