Forage forms the basis of a horse\u2019s diet: it is the main source of fibre as well as a source of energy. But how much does your horse actually need? Is unlimited roughage all that a horse needs? And what about its nutritional value? In this article we discuss forage, and the concept of forage first, but not forage only.\u00a0 <\/h6>\n\n\n\n
Before we go into detail: forage is important. But so is water. Your horse\u2019s basic ration should consist of adequate forage (divided into several portions per day) and unlimited access to clean drinking water. Too little water can lead to dehydration and can also have major impacts on digestion. Sufficient drinking water also ensures the elimination of waste products through urination. Never underestimate the importance of water, as it is essential to your horse’s health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Unlimited forage?\u00a0<\/h6>\n\n\n\n
The foundation of your horse\u2019s feed ration is forage and water. Therefore, forage and water come first, and anything else (like concentrates and supplements) later. Does \u201cforage first\u201d mean unlimited forage? We say no. Unlimited forage is not good for a horse’s health. Here\u2019s why:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the past, horses grazed almost day and night, chewing on nutritious grasses and herbs up to 16 hours each day. Although this provided them with lots of fibre, such forage was low in sugar and protein. They also had access to diverse herbs and grasses to meet their vitamin and mineral requirements. The life of a \u2018modern\u2019 horse may be quite different today, but its digestive system hasn\u2019t changed. When a horse goes for too long without forage, its risk of health problems increases.\u202fUnlike humans, horses need to chew to produce saliva, which aids digestion and keeps stomach acid under control.\u202fIf the horse stops producing saliva, digestive problems can occur, including stomach ulcers, oesophageal blockages, and colic.\u202f <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Today\u2019s forage is much richer in energy and protein. Unlimited forage may cause your horse to take in much more energy than it actually needs, which can lead to health problems such as laminitis or obesity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
How much forage does a horse need? <\/h6>\n\n\n\n
It can sometimes be difficult to know exactly how much forage to feed your horse. We\u2019ll make use of various calculations to explain exactly how much forage your horse needs. According to equine science, a horse should eat at least 1.5% of its body weight in dry matter (DM) from forage. How much is that in practice? Let\u2019s work it out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For a 600 kg<\/strong> horse and hay that\u2019s about 83% dry matter, this means: (0.015 x 600) \u00f7 83 x 100 = 10.84 kg<\/strong> hay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Practical experience shows that 1.5% of body weight in DM is on the high side. Why? With the above calculation, you would give your horse 11 kg of rich hay. This would supply enough fibre, but often too much energy and protein. In addition, it is recommended that horses be kept on straw. On average, a horse eats 2 kg of straw per day. That also counts as roughage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cavalor therefore calculates at least 1.25% of body weight in dry matter. For a 600 kg<\/strong> horse and hay that\u2019s about 83% dry matter, this means: (0.0125 x 600) \u00f7 83 x 100 = 9.036 kg<\/strong> hay per day. Is your horse kept on wood shavings? Then feed your horse 2 kg of straw per day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dry matter content in forage<\/h6>\n\n\n\n
In the above example, we have calculated using hay that is 83% dry matter. Do you feed your horse preserved forage or grass? Please note that the dry matter content will then be much lower, which will cause the kilos of forage to increase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For example: you give your 600 kg horse haylage with a dry matter content of 65%. That means: Haylage (65% dry matter) – (0.0125 x 600) \u00f7 65 x 100 = 11.5 kg<\/strong> haylage per day. Now let\u2019s look at grass. Pasture grass: (16% dry matter) – (0.0125 x 600) \u00f7 16 x 100 = 46.9 kg<\/strong> fresh grass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the table below you\u2019ll find an overview of the average dry matter content per type of forage. A forage analysis can give an insight into the exact amount of dry matter in your feed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/th>
DM content<\/th>
Crude fibre content (per kg of product)<\/th>
EWpa (per kg product) <\/th>
Digestible crude protein (per kg of product)<\/th><\/tr><\/thead>
From unlimited forage to a ration consisting of only forage. What about that? In principle, horses that need to eat only for maintenance or light work may meet their energy needs with forage. However, it is important to realise that forage alone does not meet a horse\u2019s vitamin or mineral requirements. Therefore, supplement the ration with a vitamin or mineral supplement or with a low-sugar, low-starch concentrate feed. Forage is important, but horses in work need more. Is your horse in (top) sports? Then you\u2019ll need to supplement with concentrates or a balancer to meet increased energy requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Forage analysis: feed as you need<\/h6>\n\n\n\n
Forage makes up the greater part of a horse\u2019s ration, which is why it is important to know what\u2019s in your feed. This is because the protein, fibre, mineral and sugar content in feeds can vary greatly. A forage analysis gives you insight into the nutrients contained in your horse\u2019s forage. An analysis will show whether you should complement your horse\u2019s feed with a concentrate feed, balancer, or supplements, to cover all daily requirements and prevent an oversupply of nutrients. Feed as you need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Calculate your horse’s weight<\/h6>\n\n\n\n
In order to calculate your horse’s forage requirements, you need to know not only the dry matter content of your forage, but also your horse\u2019s weight. You can easily calculate your horse’s weight yourself without the use of a horse scale: all you need is a (long) measuring tape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step 1 <\/strong>Measure your horse\u2019s heart girth. Place the measuring tape around the horse’s chest. Your tape measure should pass just behind the withers and behind the front legs. Measure when your horse exhales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step 2<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Measure the length of your horse. When measuring, make sure your horse is standing square and looking ahead. Measure your horse\u2019s length from the point of the shoulder to the point of the buttocks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step 3 <\/strong>Convert using a formula. Now that you know your horse\u2019s heart girth and length, you can use a mathematical formula to calculate its weight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Heart girth x heart girth x length in cm \u00f7 11.877 = your horse\u2019s weight in kg<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tip:<\/strong> for a reliable weight, measure three times and take the average of the three results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
