    Area of Science:

    • Equine Nutrition
    • Animal Health
    • Veterinary Science

    Background:

    • Nutritional disorders in horses are often linked to overfeeding, though controlled studies are limited.
    • Calcium and phosphorus imbalances remain a concern despite established knowledge of their importance.
    • The equine supplement market presents challenges due to potential misuse and misleading advertising.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To discuss the detrimental effects of common issues in equine nutrition.
    • To highlight the risks associated with overfeeding, mineral imbalances, and supplement misuse.
    • To emphasize the need for careful supplement selection and client education.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review and discussion of existing evidence on equine nutrition.
    • Analysis of potential risks associated with overfeeding and nutrient imbalances.
    • Examination of the impact of supplement quality and manufacturer claims.

    Main Results:

    • Overfeeding may contribute to disorders, particularly in genetically predisposed horses.
    • Inadequate calcium and phosphorus levels can lead to severe deficiencies.
    • Excessive intake of certain trace minerals and vitamins, or poorly formulated supplements, can be harmful.

    Conclusions:

    • Client education is vital to prevent nutritional mismanagement in horses.
    • Careful selection of supplements is necessary to meet individual equine needs and avoid harm.
    • Addressing overfeeding, mineral balance, and supplement quality is essential for equine health.
