Forages and grazing in horse nutrition

Forages and grazing in horse nutrition [electronic resource] / edited by Markku Saastamoinen [and others]

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 ha...
