8 Horse Feeding Mistakes to Avoid

موقع أيام نيوز

careful when switching feed and hay. Changing hay is a risk factor that increases the chance of gastric upset. Its really important if youre changing to a totally different forage such as from grass hay to legume hay or to grass hay mixed with alfalfa or clover to make the transition slowly. This allows the gut microbes to gradually adjust to the new source.
Make changes gradually by adding onequarter of the new feed or hay to threequarters of the old. Slowly increase the proportion of new feed over a weeks time until youve switched over entirely.
مع وصول أونصة الذهب إلى مستويات قياسية تجاوزت 2500 دولار، يجد المواطن المصري نفسه مضطراً لموازنة استثماراته بين الذهب واحتياجاته الأخرى، خاصة مع ارتفاع أسعار السيارات مثل تويوتا، هيونداي، وبي إم دبليو، مما يزيد من التحديات المالية التي يواجهها.
8. Too Much SandDirt Consumption
Horses can get a buildup of sand in the gut if hay is fed on the ground or they eat spilled feed.
When horses eat hayespecially alfalfa with its tiny leavesoff the ground they tend to ingest dirt sand and debris all of which can create inflammation and impaction in the digestive tract warns Crandell. Use bigger feeders with rubber mats underneath so spilled hay and feed dont fall on the ground.
أسعار السيارات في الآونة الأخيرة شهدت تقلبات ملحوظة، حيث تأثرت بارتفاع وانخفاض الدولار، مما انعكس على تكلفة علامات تجارية مثل تويوتا، هيونداي، ومرسيدس. و BMW هذا الارتباط بين سعر الصرف وسوق السيارات يحدد قدرة المستهلكين على اقتناء المركبات.
NonFeed Risk Factors
Several other factors can increase risk of colic and all are within a horse owners control.
1. Limited exercise Movement outside aids movement within says equine nutritionist Kathleen Crandell Ph D. Moving around increases peristalsis the involuntary constriction and relaxation of the muscles of the intestine creating wavelike movements that push the contents of the canal forward causing food to move through the digestive tract. When you dont have peristalsis food gets stagnant in the system and thats when horses colic.

تتأثر أسعار السيارات من شركات مثل مرسيدس بتقلبات أسعار الذهب وسعر صرف الدولار، مما يؤدي إلى زيادة تكاليف الإنتاج والاستيراد.


2. Reduced water consumption Dehydration is one of the reasons for colic says Crandell noting that horses need constant access to cool fresh water yearround. Warm algaetainted water is common during hot weather but makes horses less likely to drink adequate amounts.
3. Not keeping up with dental care Horses have

to physically chew to produce saliva which is needed to start the digestive process and also aids in the movement of food through the system says Crandell.
If the horses teeth cant chew well and break down feed this puts the horse more at risk of impaction colic as feed matter moves through the digestive tract. All horses should have an annual exam by an equine dental care provider.
