5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent information with details and research results!, May 14, 1998

This review is from: Equine Clinical Nutrition: Feedings and Care (Hardcover)

Excellent source of information for those horseowners who want to optimize their horse's care instead of just throwing "any old hay" at them. Even though this book is very similar (almost identical) in content to Lewis' other book, "Feeding and Care of the Horse", I would definitely choose "Equine Clinical Nutrition" instead as it contains literary references to research. Very useful if you need supportive information and are located near a vet-med library to pull papers.

This book should be used in conjunction with the "Nutrient Requirements of Horses" (National Research Council, 1989), as Lewis' appendices do not include the full nutritional content tables of many less-commonly used feeds.

This book is well worth the price, and I am looking forward to the next edition if one is in the works!
