{"product_id":"nutritional-physiology-of-the-horse-julian-hill-9781789182958","title":"Nutritional Physiology of the Horse","description":"\u003cp\u003eNutrition is an essential part of the daily management of the horse. It affects the health, welfare and performance of the animal. In natural surroundings the horse would spend up to 65% of time foraging for food. The digestive system reflects this behavioural process. Whilst recent advances in equine nutrition have improved our knowledge of how to optimise the feeding of horses under different physiological challenges, this book tries to incorporate the interaction between nutritional and behavioural requirements.\u003cbr\u003eThe dynamic interaction between feed characteristics, the physiology of the animal and processes of nutrient absorption are examined in depth, drawing on a biological approach to solving problems associated with nutrition as well as an applied approach for the equine industry. This involves analysing current feed evaluation systems to quantify the digestive process and the requirements of the horse. A balance needs to be maintained between feeds available, the biology of digestion and nutrient requirements. This book aims to blend theoretical knowledge and practical feed management by creating an understanding of the physiological processes which form the basis for practical rationing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Julian Hill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1789182956\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781789182958\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Nottingham University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/24\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 374\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.77d","brand":"Julian Hill","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48137185132799,"sku":"9781789182958","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c590ef19-cf22-4fb7-901c-7b74cba8b083.jpg?v=1770167123","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/nutritional-physiology-of-the-horse-julian-hill-9781789182958","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
