| Summary: | "The selection of the most suitable ration for horses is governed largely by local conditions. Choose those feeds which meet the requirements of economy, nutrition and convenience. Make slight changes in feeds occasionally. A horse appreciates a variety in his diet. Knowledge of individual requirements of horses is essential to obtain best results. Close observation is probably a more vital factor in the feeding of horses than in the feeding of any other class of live stock. This bulletin explains the computation of rations for horses, suggests certain feed combinations which approximately meet the needs of horses under differing conditions, and reviews such factors of feeding as tend to make the horse more efficient."--Page 2 |
