Climate changes and an unstable security situation in the world challenges the market of inorganic fertilizers and animal feeds, and mobilisation of research and development is required to find more sustainable (preferably locally produced) feeds for all animals including horses.
This research project aims to map feeding, management and faecal composition in horses showing symptoms of a condition known as free faecal liquid, and to compare them with horses free of these symptoms in a case-control study.
Wrapped forages for horses - effect of plant maturity at harvest on fermentation profile, hygienic quality and aerobic storage stability of the conserved forage, and on equine eating behaviour and digestion.
