Description:
This webinar fulfills the Nutrition course requirement for PHCP students.

This two-part webinar series is a great introduction to equine nutrition in practical terms and compliments Dr. Kellon’s NRC Plus course.

Part 1 – Growing the Best Possible Hoof

In Part 1, Carol will focus on the digestive system, the best feeds for horses, and the key nutrients that influence hoof health.

The hoof is required to withstand impact, abrasion, mechanical injury, noxious substances and pathogens but be flexible enough to absorb and divert the shock sustained on it. Hooves have to be rigid as well as elastic and protect the soft, more sensitive tissues inside.

To achieve optimal hoof quality, three aspects can be influenced by our management: hoof care, nutrition, and movement. Poor hoof growth, horn brittleness, inflammation, prevalence of infections, like seedy toe, and a weak immune system can all have a nutritional component.

Part 2 – Laminitis and Myths

Some horses have a life threatening, metabolic condition that causes insulin to rise, triggering the chain of events that result in laminitis. Laminitis will be explained along with causes including the most common dietary cause, insulin resistance.

The aim of this session is to educate hoof practitioners and enable them to support horse owners by first explaining the best and safest feeds and the key nutrients needed to aid in rehabilitation, along with horse management practices. This presentation will cover some related health issues including PPID and look at a number of common myths that confuse horse owners.
