This first year of life is instrumental in determining how a horse’s future will play out, and poor nutrition can be devastating in a number of different ways.  During this episode, Dr. Stephen Duren, PhD. equine nutrition specialist, joins us for a discussion about some of the most important nutritional elements of a horse’s diet. From protein to zinc, to the “big two” nutrients (i.e. calcium and phosphorus),  Dr. Duren explains the importance of each and the issues that can arise if a foal receives more or less than the optimal amount. You will also learn about the digestive system of foals, when foals should be started on solids, and how the diet of a pregnant mare impacts the fetus.    KEY POINTS FROM THIS EPISODE: __ __ ____________________________________   NOTABLE REFERENCES: __ __   ____________________________________ __ __ ____________________________________ __ __ ____________________________________ __ __
