| As we know the ideal needs of a top performance horse, let’s analyse now: |
What does a horse receive in its traditional feeding?
|
| The average vitamin contents of the traditional feed are described in table 2. The table lists the amounts of vitamins found by chemical assay rather than the amounts available to a horse. |
|
If we compare, the provision of vitamins made by a classic ration to the optimum needs of a top performance horse (table 3) , it appears that the traditional feeding of oats and good hay
is not sufficient in terms of vitamins to maintain a high level of performance : the levels of 9 vitamins of the 14 are considerably lower than the required quantity to obtain optimum results.
