Editorial Reviews
Review
"Although the book is targeted at well-informed horse owners, it also would be a good reference for veterinarians, veterinary technicians, and veterinary students." (Doody's, 16 September 2011)

From the Back Cover
Since the first edition of Equine Nutrition and Feeding was published in 1986, it has become the standard work on the subject, covering every aspect of the nutrition of breeding, growing and working horses, and describing the basis upon which scientifically derived conclusions for nutrition and dietary requirements are reached.
The book has been extensively updated, revised and rewritten with a full bibliography and reference list. It has been made more practical by setting out the implications of new research for feeding programmes and it includes a full account of the toxicology, and metabolic and other diseases, related to diet. Their causes and control are discussed and comprehensive lists of definitions of terms and the abbreviations used are given. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

This review is from: Equine Nutrition and Feeding (Paperback)
We are using this book for an equine nutrition class. This book is extremely hard book to follow and read and I do not recommend it for anyone who is looking for good practical information.

This review is from: Equine Nutrition and Feeding (Paperback)
Nutrition may be a fairly dull topic as it is, but this book makes it almost insufferable. It provides absolute no context for any of the information contained it it's long, dry chapters, and fails to accomplish anything but making your eyes glaze over. Do not buy.
