Seasonal analysis of the mineral content of pasture used for grazing Thoroughbred breeding stock in the UK
Minerals are an essential component of correct nutrition, particularly in the young growing horse. Spring-summer pasture contributes 60-100% (depending on breeding status) of the daily dry matter intake of thoroughbred breeding stock. Despite this fact the mineral content of UK pasture used specifically for thoroughbred breeding stock is unknown.
