“…Generally, corn oil seems to be better accepted as regards palatability. Other naturally high oil‐providing feedstuffs (appropriately processed and fortified) such as ricebran (with additional calcium to balance the high phosphorus content), soybeans and flaxseed can be more palatable to the fussy eater, additional vitamin E supplementation is recommended at 1–1.5 iu/mL of additional oil (Zeyner and Harris ).…”

Summary As the proportion of aged horses within the general equine population appears to be increasing in the UK and other developed countries, it is important to be aware of the changing dietary requirements associated with the ageing process and age‐related diseases. This review provides guidelines for optimal nutrition of the older horse with practical approaches to improve or maintain body condition and support general health.

“…The majority of minerals and trace elements given to horses are absorbed in the SI, as are most of the dietary vitamins (Coenen ; Zeyner and Harris ). Phosphorus, however, is absorbed mainly in the hindgut and high phosphorus intakes, especially in the form of plant phytates, may interfere with calcium absorption in the SI.…”

“…Phosphorus, however, is absorbed mainly in the hindgut and high phosphorus intakes, especially in the form of plant phytates, may interfere with calcium absorption in the SI. Most of the water soluble B vitamins are synthesised in the large intestine of a healthy horse through the action of resident microflora (Zeyner and Harris ).…”

Summary As a herd‐living, nonruminant, hindgut fermenting, primarily grazing herbivore the horse has evolved with a specialised gastrointestinal tract capable of utilising a wide range of plant species, which are hydrolysed and/or fermented to yield energy and nutrients for bodily processes. Domestication has resulted in the horse often being fed and managed to suit human requirements rather than their own, which can lead to digestive, behavioural and clinical issues. Appropriate nutrition not only reduces the risk of a nutritional component being a limiting factor to performance, but it also supports the maintenance of health and appropriate behaviour. A basic understanding of the digestive processes therefore can be very valuable when deciding how to feed horses optimally for both health and activity. This article provides a general overview of the gastrointestinal tract from a nutritional perspective and points out a few key practical areas where knowledge of feeding practices can be helpful for veterinarians.
