The Art and Science of Feeding
The Smart Way to Feed Horses
Feeding Laminitic Prone Horses/PPID/Common Feeding Myths
We are fortunate that Carol Layton, Equine Nutritionist has agreed to create an online seminar for a full day workshop at only $110 per participant.
Carol is an independent equine nutritionist and lectures in equine nutrition for the nationally recognised Australian Certified Hoofcare Course and presents in conferences in Australia and overseas.
She will spend the day explaining how horses digest feed and what is optimal for their health and immune system, and what is not.
The aim is to make feeding as simple and cost effective as can be, optimise mineral ratios and prevent nutrient deficiences.
The topics covered will be -
Equine digestion
The Australian feed industry : An independent evaluation
Why fibre matters
Nutrients – protein, fats, carbohydrates, minerals, vitamins & electrolytes
Who are the NRC
Limitations of soil, blood and hair testing
Insulin resistance IR / EMS and hindgut carbohydrate overload
PPID / Cushings horses
Understanding labels
Common feed fads and myths
When the workshop is hosted at Avoca Park, Morning Tea is provided, and lunch is available for $22 per person. (Please note this is not inplace during our 2021 workshop)
