Internationally recognized equine researchers will be giving presentations on topics such as energy requirements, software that helps determine nutrient requirements of horses, metabolic conditions associated with carbohydrate feeding, protein and amino acid quality in horse diets, how to use the new requirements to manage horse nutrition, and insights by industry representatives on what the new requirements mean to them. Karen O’Conner, Olympic 3-day Event Silver Medalist will also be providing a competitor’s viewpoint on the new nutrient requirements and how it may affect the feeding program of her elite athletes.
