This book is a must-read book for anyone concerned about nutrition requirements for horses, as it addresses every element of nutrition that is commonly of concern. Some issues that the book covers are: carbs, proteins, minerals, feed additives, ration formulation, and water quality. Issues concerning donkeys and other equids are also addressed. I did not find it hard to comprehend, but is very explanatory. Preface written by Laurie M. Lawrence, Chairman-Comittee on Nutritional Requirements for Horses. Many highly respected advisors have contributed to the content. Well covered subjects and full of helpful information, I highly recommend this book to anyone with an interest in horses.

I cannot say enough good things about this book! It is a must for anyone who formulates their horses' diets to any extent and needs specific information on feedstuffs. Particularly helpful if you have a horse with a nutrition-related disease, like insulin resistance or mineral deficiencies.

Great book but very technical. Lots of useful information so it is a good book to read. Lots of information on various studies done that may or not may be of interest to readers. A good book to have on your shelf for finding that information on feeding your horse that you would not find anywhere else.

Factual based information free of the equine emotion pervasive in horse folks. This book will stop the horse owner from buying the far too many and un-needed feed supplements.

Had a different version of this book and wanted the revised version. Just as great as the other I have. The first I had to buy for school. This one I bought because I wanted to.
