Learn How to Optimize Your Horse’s Nutrition for a Lifetime of Vibrant Health - New Book by Juliet M. Getty, Ph.D., Published by Dog Ear Publishing
In Feed Your Horse Like A Horse, author and equine nutritionist Juliet M. Getty, Ph.D. asks us to consider the way horses lived in the wild, feasting on fresh grass, berries, flowers and other vegetation throughout the day. Those who care for horses should provide them with a balanced diet and the nutrients they need.
Bayfield, CO, April 22, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Did you know that horses are unlike any other animal in the way they process food? They eat hay, but not as efficiently as cows, so they need more to get the same level of nourishment. They can eat oats, but overfeed a horse with oats and you can damage his feet. Unlike humans and animals, horses do not do well eating several big meals, but need to graze throughout the day. In Feed Your Horse Like A Horse, author and equine nutritionist Juliet M. Getty, Ph.D. asks us to consider the way horses lived in the wild, feasting on fresh grass, berries, flowers and other vegetation throughout the day. Of course we cannot give our domesticated horses the same diet and lifestyle their wild ancestors enjoyed, but we can provide them with a balanced diet and the nutrients they need for optimal health.
In Feed Your Horse Like A Horse, published by Dog Ear Publishing, Getty takes a holistic approach to equine nutrition by taking into account the environment, stress level and overall nutritional status of each horse. The chapters in her book are based on queries and concerns she has received from people over the years, ranging from basic questions about hay, commercial feeds, or which vitamin supplement is best, to serious concerns about colic, laminitis, ulcers, and joint problems. Sometimes the concern is about a pregnant mare or her growing foal, or an old horse that needs some support to gracefully grow even older. Sometimes a new horse owner simply needs to know where to start.
The book is divided into two main sections. Part I addresses the basic ground rules for feeding a horse. This is essential reading for anyone who takes care of horses, regardless of how long they have been doing it. It might teach you something new or at least reaffirm what you already know about equine nutrition. This section offers fundamentals of each nutrient classification, along with details on forages, concentrates, and even which treats are safe to feed. Part II of the book serves as a comprehensive reference guide and describes specific conditions and circumstances your horse may be experiencing. Getty offers insight into the causes, treatment, and prevention of diseases such as laminitis and equine metabolic syndrome, digestive problems such as ulcers and colic, weight management for both the overweight and underweight horse, and conditions such as arthritis, allergies, and much more.
Feed Your Horse Like A Horse is an excellent resource on equine nutrition, appropriate for anyone who takes care of horses. Contact the author, or view the book, excerpts and the entire Table of Contents at http://www.feedyourhorselikeahorse.com/.
