Pozycja Open Access Analysis of equine feeding systems in selected equestrian centers and stables(Wydawnictwo Uczelniane Zachodniopomorskiego Uniwersytetu Technologicznego w Szczecinie, 2017) Janocha, Alina; Kryszak, Katarzyna; Różewicz, Marcin; Department of Animal Nutrition and Feed Management, Siedlce University of Natural Sciences and Humanities; Department of Animal Nutrition and Feed Management, Siedlce University of Natural Sciences and Humanities; Department of Animal Nutrition and Feed Management, Siedlce University of Natural Sciences and HumanitiesThe aim of the study was to study the expertise and awareness of Polish horse owners in terms of equine nutrition and prevention of gastrointestinal tract problems, as well as to overview the applied feeds. Knowledge on the structure and functioning of equine digestive system and digestion processes is essential if we want to plan good nutrition schemes, especially for sport horses. Having a profound knowledge on horse feeding and nutrition, the owner may avoid many problems with the horse’s fitness and reduce the risk of digestive disorders. Horses are animals that basically feed on pasture. However, the work they perform for humans, which is associated with intense physical activity, requires additional energy and nutrients. Most difficult is the nutrition of performance horses, which requires proper determination of energy needs at the given level of training load, as well as adequate mineral-vitamin supplementation that will meet the needs of the horse. The entire consistent nutrition system should be treated with utmost care and consideration, since it is the key factor influencing the health status of the horse.
