Equinews, Kentucky Equine Research's nutrition and health quarterly magazine, shares tips for feed management in Volume 13, Issue 1. Recent changes in the nutritional requirements of broodmares are listed in a featured article, and the story of a Canadian-bred racing Quarter Horse explains the benefits of monitoring foal development for slow, steady growth. A new partnership between Kentucky Equine Research (KER) and Alimentos Concentrados Raza, S.A. will extend KER's feed formulation expertise to South American horse breeders and owners in Colombia. A short article makes horse owners aware of the dangers posed by the toxins in moldy corn, and another suggests high-protein alternatives to soybeans for horses that may be allergic to that common feed ingredient. The magazine contains reports of racing, cutting, driving, and endurance riding successes by horses fueled by KER-formulated feeds and supplements. Finally, the issue pays tribute to Dr. Larry Lawrence, KER's senior equine nutritionist who passed away in late 2009. To see articles in this magazine, click here.
