FEEDING HORSES IN AUSTRALIA
A Guide for Horse Owners and Managers

By John Kohnke, Frank Kelleher & Penny Trevor-Jones

 
Feeding Horses in Australia provides a comprehensive review of horse nutrition and feeding in Australia. It gives sound guidelines on feeding practices unique to Australian conditions. The important rote of pasture is highlighted as a natural feed for horses and practical recommendations are made on the amount of supplementary feed required relative to pasture productivity.

The book also provides extensive information on the values and selection of feeds needed to formulate a diet to meet a specific horse's requirements. One unique feature is the simplified method of formulating a ration for a fully stabled horse using a step by step process with practical guidelines and minimal use of tables, thus avoiding complicated calculations.

This book is written and formatted in an easy to read style, making it suitable to use both as a handbook in the office, stable or feed room and as a comprehensive reference for all horse owners.
