Horses are herbivores and essentially present a fermentation of the hindgut. Therefore, it is very important to exercise a good horse management on horses to avoid food and feeding. The main features stand out with regard to food.
1. Do not supply protein substances other than nitrogen, such as urea, to horses of all categories, since they can not digest like ruminants.
2. Horses must have a dry matter of at least 1.5% of body weight.
3. Body weight (kg) = chest circumference (cm) * 2.7 for light races
Body weight (kg) = bust (cm) * 3.1 for medium breeds
Body weight (kg) = chest circumference (cm) * 3.5 for heavy breeds
4. The most common concentrated foods given to horses are oats, barley, gram and wheat bran.
5. For green fodder, the best forage is alfalfa (green or hay).
6. For a better utilization and assimilation of nutrients, the entire daily ration can be divided into 4-6 separate meals.
7. Regularity in the diet, avoiding complete feeding before and after exercise and changing the composition of the diet are gradually the most important symbols in the diet of horses.
8. In horses, it is particular that forage is given before the grain. but if the cut forage is available, it can be mixed with grain or concentrate.
9. Group feeding for grain feeding is not recommended.
10. To avoid mineral deficiency, add a mineral mixture of 25-40 g per day with concentrates.
11. A horse (out of work) weighing 400 kg of body weight will probably need 0.38 kg of crude digestible protein (DCP), 20 g of calcium, 20 g of phosphorus and 70 mg of carotene.
12. For medium-sized jobs, 0.86 kg of FAD, 50 g of calcium, 50 g of phosphorus and 135 mg of carotene are required.
13. For heavy work, 1.10 kg of FAD, 60 g of calcium, 60 g of phosphorus and 170 mg of carotene are required.
14. Horses should not be watered for at least 20-30 minutes before and after strenuous exercise.
15. The needs for drinking water are 36 liters per day and can vary according to the seasons, because in summer the demand for water increases.
16. For general practice, it is about providing water before feeding.
17. In the general irrigation program, watering should be done three times a day in summer and twice a day in other seasons.
18. Horses are seasonal polyoesters. The beginning of spring is considered the best reproduction time in India.
19. Puberty is reached at the age of 18 months.
20. Mating should be allowed at the age of 3 years when it reaches 75% of body weight,
21. The heat cycle is 21 days and the duration of the heat is 4 to 6 days.
22. He must multiply 2 to 3 days after the onset of heat symptoms.
23. The tail of the mare must be bandaged and kept clear so as not to interfere during copulation.
24. For breeding, one stallion is enough for 30 to 40 mares.
25. A stallion should be used 5 times per week.
26. The appearance of wax beads on the nipples one or two days before delivery is the most observable observation at the time of delivery.
