Foreword -- Part 1. Plant physiology and its relation to feeding value -- Grass physiology and its relation to nutritive value in feeding horses -- Changes in chemical composition of different grass species and -mixtures in equine pasture during grazing season -- Phytoestrogen coumestrol and its metabolite in mares’ plasma after clover mixed pasture and alfalfa pellets ingestion -- Fermentation parameters and total gas production of equine caecal and faecal inocula -- White clover (Trifolium repens L.): do non-structural carbohydrates account? -- Part 2. Nutritional assessment of forage quality -- Nutritional assessment of forage quality -- Prediction of organic matter digestibility of forages in horses using different chemical, biological and physical methods -- Repeatability and reproducibility of digestibility measurements in horses fed forage based diets -- The effect of three different treatments on the respirable particle content, total viable count and mould concentrations in hay for horses -- Degradat
Forages should be the basis of all diets in horse feeding. Therefore it is of major importance to determine which parameters will influence their quality. Changes on chemical composition along the vegetative cycle, nutrient losses during harvesting, preservation and storage are factors that could have an effect on nutritive value, as well on digestibility and palatability. A specific grazing and ingesting behaviour, linked to plant preferences and the selection of feeding sites will have an impact on biodiversity. This will determine the options on plant species and varieties and further management of pastures for horses. This book highlights the role of forages and grazing in horse nutrition and also gathers information about related topics, such as the contribution of local breeds for the sustainability and development of rural areas, their impact on landscape and relationships with environmental preservation. This book is the 6th volume in a scientific series conceived through the European Workshop on Equi
