About this title

Synopsis

The importance of the equine industry to the rural economy is now beginning to be recognized. Because the horse is not treated as an agricultural animal, little money has been put into research. Nevertheless, many organizations have been increasing research activities, and this books pulls together the results of recent thinking. Based on presentations given at a conference organized by the British Society of Animal Science and the British Grassland Society, and including several overseas contributors, this volume is an authoritative European text. The research findings are grouped into five main topics: Health, welfare and behavior, breeding and genetics, nutrition, grassland and equine business management and exercise physiology.
